students need to know about how the language is used to structure factual text and language features used in a report to achieve its purpose. Diagram-labeling helps the
students to arrange their ideas, so they can describe the object in sequence. Therefore, it will be interesting to do classroom research to prove that
diagram-labeling is useful for teaching writing especially report text.
1.3 Research Questions
The problems of this study can be stated as the following: 1.
How is the application of diagram-labeling as media in teaching writing a report text for the eleventh grade students of SMA N 1 Juwana?
2. How does the use of diagram-labeling in teaching writing report text enhance the
eleventh grade students of SMA N 1 Juwana in terms of: a.
students‟ motivation in writing report text, b.
students‟ achievement in writing report text?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
Based on those problems stated, the objectives of the study are: 1.
To describe the application of diagram-labeling as media in teaching writing report text for the eleventh grade students in SMA N 1 Juwana.
2. To find out the use of diagram-labeling in teaching writing report text to enhance
students‟ writing skill in terms of motivation and achievement.
1.5 Significance of the Study
This research will hopefully be able to offer some significant information dealing with potential factors that may affect the effectiveness of the diagram-
labeling in learning activity. After the research is done, the writer hopes that the result will give some advantages.
