ABSTRACT
Jaenuri : the title of the thesis “The Effectiveness Of Teaching Writing
Descriptive Text Using Tourism Object Video At The Tenth Grade Of
Smkn 1 Geger In Academic Year 2013/2014 ( A quasi – Experimental
Research ) Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta.
This thesis depicts The Effectiveness of Teaching Writing of
Descriptive Text Using Tourism Object Video at The Tenth Grade Students
of SMK N 1 Geger In The Academic Year 2013/2014. The objective of the
research is to depict the students’ writing skill before using tourism object
video in SMK Negeri 1 Geger, to elaborate the students’ writing skill after
using tourism object video in SMK Negeri 1 Geger, to identify the
effectiveness of using tourism object video, to increase the students’ writing
skill in tenth grade of SMK Negeri 1 Geger, to illustrate the students’
problems in writing skill using tourism object video, to depict the teacher’s
problems to teach writing skill to students of tenth grade of SMK Negeri 1
Geger in academic year 2013 / 2014. It is expected that the result of the
research will provide a deeper understanding about using Tourism object
video as a teaching media for English teachers and also for the readers. In
order to obtain the objective of this study, the researcher will design a quasi
- experimental using pre-test and post-test. The population of this study is
the tenth grade student of SMKN 1 Geger, in the Academic Year
2013/2014. The sample of this study is Accounting 2 class the tenth grade
that consists of 32 students. Before the experiment was conducted, the
students were given a pre-test. At the end of the experiment, the students
were given a post-test. To analyze pre-test and post-test, the researcher used
t-test by using SPSS 17 program. The result of the study showed that there
is an increasing of students’ progress after the students were given
treatment. And the students’ achievement in mastering writing descriptive
text was really excellent. In computation t test, alpha level used is 0.05. T
table score was 2.02. Based on the score obtained, t value is greater than t
table (7.34>2.02). Therefore, the researcher can conclude that the use of
Tourism object video is really effective to improve students’ writing ability.
Founded on the result of the study, the researcher suggested that the use of
tourism object video can be an alternative way to teach the language learner,
especially to improve the students’ writing ability. This result hopefully
would motivate language teacher to use Tourism object video in teaching
English as a foreign language in the classroom, especially when teaching
English writing to the senior high and vocational students as well.
