Abstract

IMPROVING WRITING ABILITY OF CLASS VIIID STUDENTS OF SMPN 1 SAPTOSARI THROUGH THE USE OF THE DICTOGLOSS TECHNIQUE By Endah Ratnaningsih 07202244143 Abstract This is action research aimed to improve the writing ability of Class VIIID students of SMPN 1 Saptosari through the use of the dictogloss technique. It is expected that the dictogloss can be used to improve the students’ writing ability in SMPN 1 Saptosari, especially at Class VIIID. This research consisted of two cycles. In doing the research, the researcher involved 34 students of Class VIIID, one English teacher as the collaborator and the researcher herself. The data were obtained from the observation during the implementation of the actions, interviews with the students of Class VIIID, discussion with the collaborator and students’ writing tasks. The data were in the form of interview transcripts, field notes, and students’ tasks. The validity of the data was obtained by applying democratic validity, outcome validity, process validity, and dialogic validity. The result of this study shows that the use of the dictogloss technique is believed to be effective to improve students’ writing ability. Students’ writing problems can be reduced by applying the dictogloss technique. The reconstruction stage of dictogloss facilitates the students to be able to reconstruct a dictated-text by using their own language. Then the correction-analysis stage provides feedbacks that facilitate them to correct their mistakes in the writing aspects, namely content, organization, language use and mechanics. In reference to the students’ writing scores, the students’ ability in four aspects of writing improved after the dictogloss technique was applied. Students’ gain score from Task 1 to Task 3 in the content aspect is 5.16; then in the mechanics aspect is 6.46; then in the language use aspect is 8.06 and in the organization aspect is 6.7. Besides, the additional aspect, namely the participation aspect also improved. The students’ gain score in the participation aspect from Task 1 to Task 3 is 3.14.
