Abstract

There are so many media that can be used in teaching writing. Meme comic is one of them. Meme comic is a series of web comic that tells about real life story and ended with a humorous punch line. It has a similar characteristic with spoof text which has „twist‟ in the end of story. This final project is an experimental research aiming at investigating any significant difference of students‟ achievement in writing spoof texts which are taught by using meme comic and the one who are taught by using pictures with an assumption that these media can help them to interpret the content of the course. The subjects of the study were the eleventh graders of Kutowinangun State Senior High School 1 in the academic year of 2015/2016. In this study, there were two groups which were given different treatments. The first group was the experimental group consisting of 32 students that was taught by using “meme comic” as media and the second group was the control group consisting of 32 students that was taught by using “pictures”. In conducting experimental research, there were two classes that were used, XI MIA 3 as the experimental group and XI MIA 2 as the control group. Both groups were given pre test, treatments, and post test. In analyzing the data, normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test were used. The results of the study shows that the use of “meme comic” as media gave contribution to the teacher in teaching spoof texts. The data proved that there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control group achievement. Based on the statistical analysis, it could be seen that the students‟ post-test in the experimental group was higher than the control group. The mean of the experimental group improved than the control group. The t-value for two means of post-test was 10.704; meanwhile the t-table based on the degree of freedom (df) was 1.696. It proved that there is significant difference between the experimental group which was given “meme comic” media and the control group which was given “picture”. It can be concluded that the “meme comic” is more effective than “pictures” to help the students in writing spoof texts.
