ABSTRAKSI
Sofiyati, Lina.2012. Kemampuan Menulis dalam teks Narasi pada Siswa Kelas
VIII SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara pada Tahun Akademik 2011/2012 yang
diajarkan dengan Menggunakan strategi Think Talk and Write. Skripsi.
Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu
Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (I) Titis
Sulistyowati, SS. M.Pd., (II) Drs. Muh. Syafei, M.Pd.
Kata kunci: Kemampuan menulis, narrative, Think Talk Write
Kemampuan menulis dalam teks narasi siswa kelas delapan SMP 1
Kalinyamatan Jepara masih memiliki kemampuan yang rendah untuk menyusun
teks naratif. Sebagian besar siswa tidak dapat mengembangkan ide mereka. Ketika
mereka ingin memulai untuk menulis, mereka bingung untuk mengekspresikan
ide mereka. Think Talk Write adalah strategi pembelajaran yang meliputi kegiatan
berpikir yang dapat dilihat ketika siswa membaca teks, kegiatan berbicara terjadi
ketika siswa berinteraksi dalam kelompok untuk membahas isi catatan dan
menulisnya dalam catatan kecil dari hasil berpikir dan berbicara tadi, dan strategi
ini membentuk materi dalam bentuk pertanyaan yang berakhir dengan pola pikir
yang terbuka. Think Talk Write (TTW) Strategi ini digunakan untuk
meningkatkan kemampuan menulis dan praktek berbicara dengan lancar sebelum
menulis.
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan yang
signifikan antara kemampuan menulis dalam teks narasi bagi siswa kelas delapan
SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara pada tahun akademik 2011/2012 sebelum dan
sesudah diajarkan dengan menggunakan strategi Think Talk Write .
Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Siswa Kelas VIII SMPN 1 Kalinyamatan
Jepara. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah Quasi-experimental research (eksperimen
semu) dengan menggunakan instrumen tes. Subyek penelitian adalah keseluruhan
siswa, yang terdiri dari 36 siswa. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan
data adalah tes tertulis. Semua siswa diberi pre-test, tes yang diberikan sebelum
menggunakan Think Talk Write strategi, dan setelah mereka mendapatkan
pelatihan, penulis lalu memberikan post-test.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: a) kemampuan menulis dalam teks
narasi bagi siswa kelas delapan SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara sebelum diajarkan
dengan menggunakan strategi Think Talk Write adalah rendah. (Mean = 45,94
dan Standard deviasi = 10,28). b) Kemampuan menulis dalam teks narasi bagi
siswa kelas delapan SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara setelah diajarkan dengan
menggunakan strategi Think Talk Write adalah baik. (Mean = 67,72 dan Standard
deviasi = 15,02). Ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan menulis
dalam teks narasi bagi siswa kelas delapan SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara pada
tahun akademik 2011/2012 sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan dengan menggunakan
Think Talk Write Strategi. (T0 = 7.19)
xi
Perbedaan antara kemampuan menulis dalam teks narasi bagi siswa kelas
delapan SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara pada tahun akademik 2011/2012 sebelum
dan sesudah diajarkan dengan menggunakan strategi Think Talk Write adalah
signifikan. Jadi, dengan menggunakan strategi Think Talk Write dalam
kemampuan mengajar menulis dalam teks naratif perlu diterapkan untuk
meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis. Setelah mengetahui hasil
penelitian bahwa kemampuan menulis dalam teks narasi siswa kelas delapan
setelah menggunakan strategi Think Talk Write itu lebih tinggi dibandingkan
dengan sebelum diajarka, guru dapat menggunakan Think Talk Write sebagai
salah satu strategi untuk mengajar menulis kemampuan dalam teks naratif.

grade students of SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara after being taught by using Think
Talk and Write Strategy is good. (Mean = 67.72 and Standard deviation =15.02).
There is a significant difference between the writing ability in narrative text for
the eighth grade students of SMP 1 Kalinyamatan Jepara before and after being
taught by using Think Talk and Write Strategy. (t0 = 7.19)
The difference between the writing ability in narrative text for the eighth
