Abstract

The objective of this study was to find out whether or not there was a significant difference in descriptive writing achievement of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 14 Palembang between those who were taught by using tourism brochures and those who were not. This study was a quasi-experimental study which used pretest posttest control group design. The population was the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 14 Palembang with the total number 264 students. Then, 88 students were taken as the samples by using purposive sampling method from the total of the population. The data were obtained through a writing test. The writing test in this study consisted of the pretest and posttest. The tests were given in order to measure students’ descriptive writing achievement in pretest and posttest of experimental and control groups both in within and between groups. SPSS version 21 was used to analyze the data from the test. The findings of this study showed that both students in experimental and control groups improved significantly in writing descriptive text; however, the students who were taught by using tourism brochures in experimental group improved much better than the students in control group. The result of pair sample t-test in the experimental group showed that t-obtained (13.377) was higher than t-table (2.017), similarly, in the control group t-obtained (4.425) was also higher than t-table (2.017). Furthermore, statistical analyses in paired sample t-test showed that the mean difference in experimental group was higher than the mean difference in control group (24.181>8.636). In addition, statistical analyses in independent sample t-test also showed that the mean score in experimental group was higher than the mean score in control group (61.50>59.27). So, it could be concluded that there was a significant difference in descriptive writing achievement between the students who were taught by using tourism brochures in experimental group and those who were not taught in control group.
