Abstract
The objective of this research is to improve the writing skills of Grade VIII students at SMPN 3 Ngaglik in the academic year of 2012/2013 through an action research study by using animation videos. There were two cycles in this research. Each cycle consisted of three meetings. In each cycle, there were two main steps of the research namely reconnaissance-the step of identifying the field problems, and actions-the steps of planning, implementing, evaluating, and reflecting. There were two kinds of data in this research, qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were collected through observations and interviews. The data were presented in the form of field notes, interview transcripts, and photos. The quantitative data were collected through a pre-test and a post-test. They were analyzed from Excel and SPSS program. The result of this study showed that the use of animation video was successful to improve students’ writing skills. However, there were still weaknesses in the first cycle. The weaknesses included students’ vocabulary and grammatical mastery. Some students still made mistakes in word choice and grammar. In the second cycle, there were improvements of students’ vocabulary and grammatical mastery. The indicators of the improvements were that the students could write sentences and generate paragraphs better than in the first cycle. Besides, their post-test scores were better than their pre-test scores. The mean of the pre-test and the post-test was improved from 8.87 to 15.29. After having those two means, the researcher analyzed t-test. The result was 9.26 with a significance level of 0.05 and the standard deviation was 3.65. The use of animation video in improving students’ writing skills proved that animation video could stimulate students’ motivation and enthusiasm in the English class, especially in writing.
