Abstract

This final project is about developing media for teaching descriptive text.The objectives of this study are toprovide model of descriptive text in the form of Motion Pictures and to develop the Motion Pictures model of written descriptive text.The Research and Development (R & D) approach was adopted by conducting the preliminary survey, designing and developing the prototype of the product, conducting limited testing and product validation, having a revision process and describing the research result. The subjects of the study were the second grade students of SMPN 7 Tegal in the academic year of 2014/2015. The instruments used were questionnaires, interview guideline and test. I used the rating scale as proposed by Jacobs et al (1981) in Brown(2004:246) to score the students‟ result in writing test. The score ranges from 1 to 5. This rating scale measures the students‟ writing skills in some aspects : grammar, vocabulary, mechanics, content, and style. The results of the students‟ test by using Motion Pictures as the descriptive teaching media, and also the assessment from the experts were very good. It could be concluded that Motion Pictures has a good prospect to be used in the descriptive text teaching and learning process. As suggestion, the teachers shouldmaintain the writing practices on a regular frequent basisso that the students will not get difficulties every time they are asked towrite, and for the future researcher should maximize the use of media in the teaching and learning process. Realizing that media can work better with the help of any techniques, the future researcher should apply the interesting techniques in using Motion Pictures as media.
