Abstract

This action research is aimed to improve writing skills of the first grade students of SMA N 1 PRAMBANAN by using picture series. To achieve the objective, the researcher did collaborative work with other team members. The collaborative work involved the English teacher as the collaborator, the students of grade XG and the researcher herself. The main subjects of this study were XG students of SMA N 1 PRAMBANAN who were in the first semester by the academic year of 2011/2012. This study, which lasted for three months, was carried out in two cycles. The data were obtained from the observation during the implementation of the actions, interview with the students and the collaborator, students’ writing tasks, and tests. The data were in the forms of interview transcripts, field notes and students’ writing scores. The validity of the data was obtained through process validity, outcome validity, democratic validity and dialogic validity. Based on the result of the research, the use of picture series in this study is believed to be effective to improve the students’ writing skills. The students’ writing problems in the aspects of content, vocabulary, language use and organization can be reduced by implementing picture series in the teaching and learning process of writing. Implementing picture series was also effective to improve the students’ motivation in the writing process. In reference to the students’ writing scores, the students’ skills in four aspects of writing improved after picture series were implemented. The students’ gain score from pre-test to post-test in the content is 4.52. Then, the gain score in the organization aspect is 3.63 and 2.91 in the vocabulary aspect. Lastly, students’ gain score in the language use aspect is 3.56
