Abstract

Writing is the one of four skills that needs complex way to master. However, writing is very important for English learners, and it is essential for English teachers to encourage and improve their students in writing achievement. This final project mainly aims at determining the effectiveness of using audio- visual strategy in teaching writing narrative text and also finding out the significant difference of writing improvement between the students who taught by using audio-visual strategy and the ones who taught by using visual strategy. The subject of this study was the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 12 Semarang in the academic year of 2014/2015. The number of the subject was 70 students. The design of this study was experimental study. The data were gained by administering pre-test and post-test of writing test. By using purposive sampling, students of XI-IPA 3 were taken as the samples of the experimental group and the samples of control group were the students of XI-IPA 4. In the pre-test, the mean score of the experimental group was 51.54 and the control group was 49.20. The result of post-test of the experimental group was 80.22 while the control one was 71.71. There was an improvement between the results of pre-test and post-test’s score. That means that these strategies were effective enough to be used in teaching writing narrative text. The calculation of t- test by using SPSS, the result shows that the value of significant was 0.006. Since the value of significant was (0.006 < 0.05), it means in the H 0 rejection area, it is concluded that there was a significant difference on students’ writing achievement between the students who were taught narrative text by using audio-visual strategy and those who are taught narrative text by using visual strategy. I suggested that teachers should be creative in choosing strategy and media which are used in teaching learning process. It would make teaching learning process more interesting, enjoyable, and educative. For the students, audio-visual hopefully could be an interesting strategy or positive forces for obtaining higher achievement.
