Style writer computer software, one of the alternative media in revising and editing argumentative text,
is effective to improve the students’ ability in revising argumentative writing result. The exprimental study shows that the
improvement in writing argumentative text of the experimental group is statistically significant than the improvement in control group 0.0080.05, r

B. Suggestions
There are several suggestions proposed for the next studies in the similar field as the present research; first, in the treatment process, the students have
some difficulties in understanding the instruction. The teacher should pay attention more by giving clear instruction before students use style writer
computer software by their own selves. Second, the research uses pre-experimental design which employs limited
sample and weaker than another experimental design. For that reason, it is suggested for the next researcher on this technique to involve larger samples
and to strengthen the design to make the research better. Third, the style writer computer software used in this research effectively
improved students skill in revising their writing. It is important for the next researcher to know whether this software appropriate applied in other kind of
writing. Last is the research is conducted on eleventh grade of high school in Tangerang Selatan. Hence, further research should prove whether style writer
computer software is also effective for students in different grades.
