Abstract

In this final project, the objectives of the study was to find out whether there was any significant difference in the improvement of students‟ mastery in writing analytical exposition text using Indonesia Now video and without using National Geographic Channel video and to identify the effectiveness of Indonesia Now video as a media of teaching writing analytical exposition text. To achieve the objectives of the study, the writer conducted an experimental quantitative research. The experiment was held through pretest - posttest experimental and control group design. The population of the study was the eleventh grade students of SMA N 1 Tegal. The total number of sample in this study was 54 students. The data were collected through the writing test. In solving the problems, the writer carried out an experimental study using statistical method called t -test. The writer used two groups: experimental group and control group. In the control group the writer used written text, while in the experimental group, the writer used Indonesia Now video. The technique to analyze the data was t -test formula. It was used as a technique to determine whether there was any significant difference between the means of the score of the experimental and the control group or not. The mean score of pre-test data from experimental group was 68.85 and from the control group was 62.85. Further, the mean score of the post-test of the experimental group was 84.67, which was higher than the mean of post-test of the control group that was 74.0. The t-test result (9.809) was higher than the t-table (2.01) since the t -test was higher than the t -table, the working hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It means that there was significant difference of the written descriptive text score of the students who are taught using Indonesia Now video to the score of those taught without Indonesia Now video. The English teacher was expected to be creative in delivering material of learning. They should provide interesting media to attract students‟ interest such as videos related to the lesson.
