Abstract
The aim of this research is to improve the students’ writing skill of the tenth grade students at SMA N 1 Pleret by using the mind mapping technique. The study was action research. In conducting the study, the researcher involved the English teacher, the school principal and the students of Grade XB. The subjects of the study were 32 students of Grade XB of SMA N 1 Pleret in the academic year of 2011/2012. The data of this study were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching-learning process during the implementation of the actions and interviewing the students and the collaborator about the implemented actions. The qualitative data were in the form of field notes and interview transcripts. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were gained by assessing the students’ writing skill through the pre-test and the post-test. Therefore, the quantitative data were in the form of students’ writing scores in the pre-test and the post-test. The results of this study showed that the use of the mind mapping was effective to improve the students’ writing skill. The use of colorful pictures of mind mapping in the BKOF and MOT stages was effective to make the students more enthusiastic in the writing activities. All students could understand and respond to the researcher’ instruction and explanations. The activities in the JCOT stage for using the mind mapping as a pre-writing planning strategy were successful to help the students generate or organize their ideas. They could also use the appropriate words they learnt to make the mind mapping. The activities in the ICOT stage to write the recount text were effective through the mind mapping. The students could imagine and generate their ideas using the mind mapping and they could produce the recount text with the correct generic structure.
