Abstract

The topic of this final project is about using an animated film to help learners improve their ability in writing narratives. The statement of the problem was to what extent the use of an animated film can improve students' ability in writing narratives. The objectives of this study was to find out to what extent an animated film increases the ability of students in writing a narrative text. The participants of the study were the grade XI students of SMA N 11 Semarang in the academic year of 2008/2009. I took XI-IS 1 as the class research, which consists of 42 students. During the research, I observed, took notes, gave treatments, questionnaire and tests. There were four activities in the action research. They were pre-test, first cycle, second cycle, and post-test. I used animated film entitled "Kungfu Panda 2" as the media. To analyze students' writing, I used the scoring guidance for writing by Heaton's grid and categories. At the end of the research, students had shown their progress in writing narratives. It could be seen from their writing score. The difference of the score in pre-test and post-test at this research was visible enough. The percentage of students' writing score in pre-test was 62.19% and the post-test was 89.04%, it meant that the students' writing progress during the research increased 26.85%. Based on the result of this research, it can be inferred that students felt that using an animated film in teaching and learning activity helped them improve their ability in writing narratives. Therefore, teachers can use animated films as media to teach writing narratives because it can improve students' writing skill.
