This quasi experimental research was intended to know whether or not there is
a significant effect of giving conference and written feedback on the recount text
writing achievement of the eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Cluring in the
2012/2013 academic year. SMP Negeri 2 Cluring was chosen purposively as the
research area because the English teacher never teaches writing by applying
conference and written feedback for the eighth grade students. In addition, it was
possible to get permission for conducting the research.
The eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Cluring were heterogeneous hence
the researcher took the two classes that had closest mean difference to determine the
experimental group and the control group. Then, the two classes were VIII A as the
experimental group and VIII B as the control group. Both classes were taught by the
teacher three times. Here, the teacher was the researcher. Both classes had different
treatment. The experimental class VIII A taught by using conference and written
feedback in teaching writing. On the other hand, the control group VIII B taught by
using conventional technique (giving underline on the students’ error). After
conducting the activity in both classes, the researcher administering post test.
Therefore, the post test result called as a primary data and the supporting data was
observation.
The primary data of this research were collected from the students’ scor e of
writing test. The primary data were collected from the post test to compare the
writing achievement of the two classes after getting the treatment, and then analyzed
the result by using independent sample t-test formula. Based on the calculation, the
result of this research showed that there was a significant effect of giving conference
and written feedback on the recount text writing achievement of the eighth grade
students. It was proved by the value of t-test that was 4.850, while the value of t-table
with significant level 5% and the degree of freedom 70 was 1.667. It indicated that
the value of t-test was higher than that of t-table (4.850 > 1.667). As a result, the
formulated null hypothesis (H
: “There is no a significant effect of giving conference
and written feedback on the recount text writing achievement of the eighth grade
students at SMP Negeri 2 Cluring in the 2012/2013 academic year” was rejected. On
the other hand, the formulated alternate hypothesis: “There is a significant effect of
giving conference and written feedback on the recount text writing achievement of
the eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Cluring in the 2012/2013 academic year”
was accepted.

Based on the result above, it could be stated that giving conference and
written feedback significantly affected the students’ writing achievement. DRE was
applied in order to know how far the effect of conference and written feedback gave
effect to the students writing achievement. The degree of relative effectiveness was
12.8%. It means that the use of conference and written feedback was 12.8% more
effective in teaching writing than using conventional technique in which, there was
no feedback in students writing. For example, the score of students who taught by
conventional technique in teaching writing was 60, it could be 67.7 for the students
who used conference and written feedback in teaching writing.
The research results proved that there was a significant effect of giving
conference and written feedback of the eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 2
Cluring in the 2012/2013 academic year. Therefore, it is recommended for the
English teacher to use conference and written feedback as an alternative technique in
teaching writing. | en_US |
