Abstract

This final project is entitled Improving Students’ Ability in Writing Recount Text by Following the Procedure of Moodle Application Program (A Classroom Action Research on the Eighth Grade of SMP N 13 Semarang in the Academic Year of 2010/2011). It is an action research. The objective of the study was to find whether teaching writing report by following the procedure of Moodle application is able to improve the students’ achievement in writing recount text. The population of this study was the eight grade students of SMP N 13 Semarang. The subject of the study was 20 students. There were five meetings in the research. One meeting was for the pre-test, two meetings for cycle 1 and another two meetings for cycle 2. The post test was hold in the last meeting. In the pre-test, the students were asked to write a recount text. The average of the students’ score was 68.90%. In the first activity of cycle 1, the students were given material to be learnt. They had to do independent study because this is one of the characteristics of E-learning. In the second meeting, they were asked to write a recount text. This activity was considered as cycle 1 test. The average of the students’ score was 77.10%. In the first meeting of cycle 2, the students were asked to analyze the errors and mistakes of their recount texts. In the second meeting of cycle 2, the students were asked to revise their recount texts based on the worksheets. This activity was considered as the post test. The average of the students’ score in post test was 80.75%. It means that the students’ achievement in writing recount texts was improved because the post-test result was better than the pre-test result. The study demonstrates that teaching and learning by following the procedure of Moodle application program is considerably effective for improving the students’ ability in writing recount. I hope this medium can be used by other teachers to enable students to write recount texts.
