Abstract
This study investigates how and why the reflective portfolio improves the tenth grade students’ writing skills of SMA N 2 Bantul in the academic year of 2011/2012. It focuses on solving the students’ problems on the five aspects of writing (content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics), the motivation, the interaction between the English teacher and the students, and the feedback. The study is categorized as collaborative action research, involving 32 students of Class X1 as the subjects, one English teacher as the collaborator, and the researcher herself. The data were in the forms of qualitative and quantitative ones. The qualitative data were in the forms of field notes, photos, interview transcripts which were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and data conclusion. The quantitative data were in the forms of writing scores which were analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics by employing the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test. The results of Cycle I showed that the implementation of reflective portfolio and other accompanying actions (i.e. free writing, pair work activities, and giving reward) made the students more confident in writing. Meanwhile, in Cycle II, the implementation of reflective portfolio, combined with the interesting media (i.e. video, picture, and game), made the students more motivated in the teaching and learning process of writing. By having reflective portfolio, the students’ attitude toward their writing works had also changed. Then, the portfolio conference held in the class improved the interaction between the students and the English teacher. The last, the reflective portfolio utilized with self-assessment and indirect feedback had improved the students’ writing skills. The findings were supported by the means of the students’ writing scores which had improved from 72.281 in the pre-test to 80.719 in the post-test.
