xlv find difficulty to acquire new language. It is assumed that for the learners who have low
linguistic intelligence using direct instruction is more suitable. Based on the statement, it can be supposed that clustering technique is suitable for
the students who have high linguistic intelligence and direct instruction is suitable for the students who have low linguistic intelligence. Moreover, there will be an interaction
between teaching technique and students’ linguistic intelligence.
E. Hypothesis of the Research
This research formulates the hypotheses as follows: 1.
Clustering technique is more effective than direct instruction to teach writing for the second semester students of English Department of IKIP PGRI Madiun.
2. The second semester students of English Department of IKIP PGRI Madiun who
have high linguistic intelligence have better writing skill than the students with low linguistic intelligence
. 3.
There is an interaction between teaching techniques and students’ linguistic intelligence to teach writing for the second semester students of English
Department of IKIP PGRI Madiun.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter will discuss about the research method. Research method is the way how the writer gets the result of the study. Here, the writer arranges this chapter into the
research design, setting of the research, population, sample, and sampling technique,
technique of collecting the data, and technique of analyzing the data. A.
Research Design
Research designs are the structure of research. It is the foundation of the study. Research design consists of observations, measures, treatments, programs, groups,
assignment to groups, and time. Among the designs to consider are the True- Experimental design, Quasi-Experimental design, and the Non-Experimental design

. Ary 2007: 317 states that the research is categorized as an experimental design
since it attempts to provide treatment to experimental group and maintain control over all factors that may affect the result of an experiment. In other word, the experimental
research attempts to investigate the influence of one or more variables to other variables. Experimental research can be roughly divided into five phases: 1 Identifying a research
problem; 2 Planning an experimental research study; 3 Conducting the experiment,
