ABSTRACT
The objective of the study is to find out whether there is a significant difference in the writing ability among X grade students of SMA N 9 Purworejo, who are taught using Text-Based Approach and those who are not in the academic year 2012-2013.
This study involved 46 students who were divided into two groups: Class X4 (23 students) as the control group, and Class X3 (23 students) as the experimental group. The data were obtained by means of two essay writing tests. They were administered to the two groups as the pretest and the posttest. The pretest was given to both groups before the treatment and the posttest was given at the end of treatment. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypothesis was tested using the analysis of covariance.
The results show that there is a significant difference in the writing ability between the students who are taught by using Text-Based Approach and those who are not. It is indicated by the result of the test of hypothesis using ANCOVA. The probability value (0.001) is lower than the significance level (0.05). This means that the effect of Text-Based Approach significantly improves the students? writing ability in the English teaching and learning in SMA N 9 Purworejo.},
