Abstract

Language learners usually find difficulties in writing. Students cannot write procedure text well because they lack knowledge of English grammar and vocabulary. They have limited memory so it is important for the teacher to create the activities before they express what they have in their mind. Due to their insufficient fluency and their boredom in learning English, teacher should have alternative ways to teach writing. This study is about teaching writing procedure text by using real things as the media to the seventh graders of SMP Negeri 1 Randudongkal in the academic year of 2008/2009.
