Abstract

This final project is a quasi-experimental study that aims to find out whether Id-en Line Translator is effective to be used in teaching writing recount text. A further concern of this study is to investigate the significant difference of writing achievement between the group that is taught using Id-en Line Translator and another group that is taught using a conventional technique. The population of this study was the tenth grade students of SMK 4 Kendal in the academic year of 2016/2017. Meanwhile, the sample consisted of 60 students from two classes. The study was started by giving pre-test, treatments, and post-test to both groups. The experimental group (X RPL 3) was taught using Id-en Line Translator, while the control group (X RPL 2) was taught using conventional technique. The data were gained by administering a pre-test and a post-test. In addition, the questionnaire was also given to the experimental group to obtain more data. In the pre-test, the mean score of the experimental group was 59.777 and the control group was 62.80. The result of post-test of the experimental group was 81.13, while the control group was 73.27. The result of the t-test also showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group. It was proven by t-value (3.413) which was higher than t-table (2.00). It can be concluded that Id-en Line Translator is effective for teaching writing recount text. It is suggested that the teacher should consider that Id-en Line Translator is a good media in teaching writing since it makes the students easier to develop their ideas in composing a text.
