| dc.description.abstract | The development of language learning especially English is greatly supported
by the use of technology in classroom. One of the variety of technologies that can be
implemented in teaching learning activity is computer, which is known as Computer
Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Concerning with writing as one of English
skills that many students may face difficulties, it must be solved with an innovative
way of teaching such as using CALL in teaching writing. In this research, the use of
CALL referred to the use of Webquest.
This research was conducted to investigate the effect of Using Computer
Assisted Language Learninng (CALL) on the Elevent Grade Students’ Writing
Achievement of MAN Jember 1 in the 2010/2011 academic year. The populations of
this research were class XI students of MAN Jember 1 in the 2010/2011academic
year. The research respondents were determined by cluster random sampling through
a lottery. The total number of the respondents were 79 students; 40 students of class
XI IPA 3 as the experimental group that taught by CALL within Webquest on their
writing Class and 39 students of class XI IPA4 as the control group that taught by
lecturing and question-answer method.
The primary data of this research were collected from the students’ scores of
writing test, while the supporting data were gained through interview and
documentation. The primary data were collected from the post test to make
comparison between the two groups after treatment, and analyzed by using Independent sample T-Test on SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Science). Based
on the calculation, the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of
the mean score of the control group (77.00 > 63.23). The value of sig column is 0.000
and this value is lower than 0.05. It means that the null hypothesis (H0) formulated:
“there is no significant effect of using Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
on the elevent grade students’ writing achievement of MAN Jember 1 in the
2010/2011 academic year” was rejected. Thus the alternative hypothesis: “there is
significant effect of using Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) on the
elevent grade students’ writing achievement of MAN Jember 1 in the 2010/2011
academic year” was accepted. It also happened to the specific hypothesis covers five
indicators of writing. They are grammar, vocabulary, mechanic, fluency, and
organization. Those specific hypothesis was accepted because all of the significant
value was lower than 0.05. It indicated that there was a significant mean difference
between the experimental group and the control group.
The research results proved that there was a significant effect of using
Computer Assisted Language Learninng (CALL) on the elevent grade students’
writing achievement of MAN Jember 1 in the 2010/2011 academic year. Therefore, it
is recommended to the English teacher to apply Computer Assisted Language
Learninng (CALL) to improve students’ writing achievement. | en_US |
