Abstract
This research is about improving the students’ writing skill by using picture series. The objective of this research is to improve the writing skill of the eighth grade students of SMPN 6 Yogyakarta. The subjects of this research were 33 students of the eighth grade. The data were collected in two forms, qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were collected by observing the teaching learning process and interviewing the students while the quantitative data were obtained by conducting pretest and posttest for the students. The data were analyzed through five steps. They were assembling data, coding the data, comparing the data, building interpretations and reporting the outcomes. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were analyzed by comparing the mean score of the students’ writing. The validity of the data was achieved by applying the five criteria of validity proposed by Anderson. They were democratic validity, outcome validity, process validity, catalytic validity, and dialogic validity. The results of the research indicated that the use of picture series was able to improve the students’ writing skill significantly, particularly in the aspect of (1) stimulating and organizing ideas, (2) using correct grammatical sentences, (3) selecting appropriate words and (4) improving their writing mechanics. In reference to the students’ writing scores, the mean score of the students’ writing from pre-test to post-test I and II also improved. In the pretest the students’ mean scores was 59.32. In the Posttest I, the mean score was 69.63. Then, in the post II was 81.42. Implementing picture series also improved the students’ motivation in the writing process.
