Abstract
This research was aimed to improve the writing learning process of the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Padangan, Bojonegoro through comic strips in the academic year of 2014/2015. This study was an action research study. It was done in two cycles, from 14th of October to 24th of October 2014. Each cycle consisted of three meetings. The steps of the research were reconnaissance, planning, action and observation and reflection. The subjects of this research were 34 students of VIIIB class and the English teacher. The data were mainly in the form of qualitative data, and the quantitative data were also added. The data were collected through observing the teaching learning process, giving questionnaire, taking photographs of the teaching learning process and interviewing the students. The instruments for collecting data were the interview guide and questionnaire. The data were analyzed qualitatively and the quantitative data were added to show the number of students’ improvement. The field notes and interview transcripts were analyzed qualitatively through four steps namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusions (drawing and verifying). The validity of the research was obtained through five validities namely, process validity, democratic validity, dialogic validity, catalytic validity, and outcome validity. The results of the research indicated that the use of comic strips effectively improved the students’ learning process in writing recount texts. The strategy made a quite much improvement on the students’ writing learning process in the aspects of participation, involvement, students’ awareness, level of noisiness, and confidence. The number of improvement of the students was 85.5% after the implementation generally, the number of students actively having questions was improved from 26% to 82.3%, students worked their homework were improved from 55% to 91%, students who were interested in doing the task were improved from 41% to 97%, students who were joining the activity without making noise were improved from 38% to 88%, and students who worked individually during the task were improved from 35% to 70%. The use of comic strips also improved the teaching and learning process of writing such as the students’ involvement and classroom interaction. Therefore, teachers should always try to create interesting ways for their teaching. Based on the result, the teacher can apply comic strips to improve the students’ learning process in writing especially in the text types similar to the recount text.
