Abstract

This final project dealt with teaching recount texts by using brainstorming technique. The researcher used brainstorming technique and the aims was to find out the effectiveness of that technique for teaching recount texts. The researcher did a quasi-experimental research to achieve the goal. The subjects of this research were the tenth graders of SMA Negeri 1 Singorojo Kabupaten Kendal in academic year of 2014/2015. There were two classes observed for this research. X 3 class took a role as the experimental group, and X 4 class acted as the control group. Different treatments were given to both groups. The experimental group was taught by using brainstorming technique while the control group was taught without using brainstorming technique. In order to find out the difference of the mean score between the pre-test and post-test, the researcher used paired sample ttest. The result of the t-test was 2.88 and t-table was 2.02. It means that t-value is higher than t-table (2.88 >2.02). It means that the technique was effective enough to be used in teaching recount texts. The result of this study shows that teaching recount texts by using brainstorming technique gives significant improvement. The average score of the pre-test for the experimental group was 58.00, and for the control group was 59.32. The average score of the post-test for the experimental group was 71.33 while for the control group was 63.95. It can be seen that the experimental group improved higher than the control group. The higher achievement in the experimental group showed that using brainstorming technique for teaching writing recount texts on the tenth graders of SMA Negeri 1 Singorojo Kabupaten Kendal in the academic year of 2014/2015 was effective. Therefore, the researcher suggests English teacher to use brainstorming technique as an alternative technique for teaching recount texts or any other technique that supports for teaching recount texts.
