| dc.description.abstract | Writing is claimed as one of the most complex skills to be mastered.
Especially for the EFL students, like Indonesian students. It is because in
producing a good writing, the students should consider five aspects. They are
content, organization, vocabulary, grammar and mechanics. Thus, in this research,
the researcher used realia media which can stimulate and motivate the students to
learn writing.
This quasi experimental research was intended to know whether or not
there was a significant effect of using realia on the seventh grade students‟
descriptive paragraph writing achievement at MTs. Al-Huda Sukorejo,
Banyuwangi in the academic year of 2019/2020.
Before selecting the participants (the control group and the experimental
group), the researcher did the homogeneity test to the population (the seventh
grade students). The researcher analyzed the students‟ previous writing scores
from the English teacher by using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) on SPSS. The
result showed that the population was heterogeneous. Therefore, the researcher
chose two groups which had the closest mean scores. They were class 7A and
class 7B. Class 7A was the experimental group which was taught writing by using
realia media and 7B was chosen as the control group which was taught writing by
using pictures
After giving the treatments to both groups (the experimental group and the
control group), the researcher gave them posttest. The results of the posttest were
analyzed by using independent sample t-test by using SPSS. Based on the output
of t-test analysis, the significant value (2-tailed) was 0.036. It was lower than 0.05
which means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) which says “There is a significant effect of using realia on the seventh grade students‟ descriptive
paragraph writing achievement at MTs. Al-Huda Sukorejo, Banyuwangi in the
academic year of 2019/2020” was accepted. Then, the null hypothesis (H0) which
says “There is no significant effect of using realia on the seventh grade students‟
descriptive paragraph writing achievement at MTs. Al-Huda Sukorejo,
Banyuwangi in the academic year of 2019/2020” was rejected.
Regarding the result of the hypothesis verification and the explanation
above, it could be concluded that there was a significant effect of using realia
media on the seventh grade students‟ descriptive paragraph writing achievement
at MTs. Al-Huda Sukorejo, Banyuwangi in the academic year of 2019/2020.
Therefore, it is suggested for the English teacher to use realia as the media in
teaching writing | en_US |
