This study was classified as a pre-experimental study.The subjects of this study were 32 students of X-A Classin the second semester.In the beginning of the study, the class was given a pre-test to measure the student’s initial writing skills in the form of a written test consisting of one essay. After six meetings ofthe treatments, the class was given a post-test to find out whether there was a significant difference in the writing skills of the students.The data of the pre-test and post-test were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. After the data were tested and found to be homogeneous and normal, the hypothesis was tested using the t-test. The computation of the data statistics used a computer program namely SPSS 13.0. The result of thisstudy shows there is a significant difference on students’ writing skills between those before and after the treatment.It can be seen in the result of the hypothesis testing that the p value (0.00) is less than the significance level (0.05).
