Abstract
This action research is aimed to improve the students’ skills of writing recount texts for the eighth grade students of SMP N 1 Seyegan in the academic year of 2012/2013 by using picture series. This study was carried out in two cycles. The first cycle was divided into two meetings and the second cycle into three meetings. The instruments used to collect data were observation checklists, interview guidelines and tests. The validity of the data was obtained through process validity, outcome validity, democratic validity, dialogic validity and catalytic validity. The result of the research showed that the strategies of using picture series effectively improved the students’ ability in writing recount texts. In the pre-test, the students had difficulties in constructing paragraphs of a recount text which met unity and coherence. They also only produced limited development of the topic. After implementing the actions, the students could develop and organize their ideas easily in a good chronological order. The implementation of picture series also brought some improvements in the other writing aspects such as vocabulary and language use. In reference to the students’ writing scores, the gain score of organization aspect is 1.39. The students’ gain score in the content aspect is 1.29. While the students’ gain score in the vocabulary aspect is 1.16 and 1.06 in the language use aspect. Moreover, the majority of the students gave positive responses towards the implementation of picture series. It made the students enthusiastic on the writing process.
