| dc.description.abstract | According to the t-test analysis of the post-test result, it was proved that there
was a statistically siginificant difference between the mean score of the experimental
and control classes since the value of Sig.2-tailed was less than 0.05. The mean score
of the experimental class was 65.83 while the mean score of the control class was
59.21. Theoretically, the experimental class gained a better achievement because of
the application of CALL as a writing medium. In this case, the Storybird website
contributed to the students’ narrative writing achievement in several aspects: 1) its
artworks could help the students to develop the content, organization and vocabulary
of their writing, 2) it facilitated the language use of the students’ writing since they
were able to publish their story, receive the teacher’s feedback and peers’ comments,
and edit their story, and 3) its Storymaker editor helped the students to use correct
spelling in their writing. In addition, bringing the website into the writing class as a
new and innovative medium could increase the students’ excitement, motivation and
interest to be involved in the teaching and learning activities. From the description,
this research was finally drawn on conclusion that there was a significant effect of
using Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) on the tenth grade students’
narrative writing achievement of MAN 1 Jember in the 2013/2014 academic year. | en_US |
