Abstract
This research is aimed at improving students’ skills of writing for the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 4 Yogyakarta through the use of portfolio assessment. It is expected that portfolio assessment can be used to improve the students’ skills of writing in SMA Negeri 4 Yogyakarta, especially at Class XI Social 2. This research was an action research study that consisted of two cycles. In doing the research, the researcher involved 23 students of Class XI Social 2, one English teacher as the collaborator and the researcher herself. In this research, there were two kinds of data. The first data were qualitative. To obtain the qualitative data, the researcher conducted observation, interviews, and evaluating students’ writing tasks. The qualitative data were in the form of field notes, observation checklists result, interview transcripts, and students’ writing. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were presented in the score of the students’ writing tasks from Task 1 to Task 2. The result of this study shows that the use of portfolio assessment can improve students’ writing skills. Students’ writing problems can be reduced by applying portfolio assessment. The feedback given by the researcher facilitates the students to find and to correct their errors in the writing aspects, namely content, organisation, vocabulary, language use and mechanics. In reference to the students’ writing scores, the students’ ability in those five aspects of writing improved after the portfolio assessment strategy was given. It can be seen that the students’ mean value gain from Task 1 to Task 2 in the content aspect is 0.39; the organisation aspect is 0.47; then the vocabulary aspect is 0.48; then the language use aspect is 0.34; and the mechanics aspect is 0.32. Besides, portfolio assessment can improve the students’ motivation to write because they got feedback on their writing and they got a different way in assessing writing. It also creates different classroom activities that are more enjoyable because they could find and correct their errors based on the feedback given on their writing and also they did reflections on their pieces of writing.
