Abstract

This final project is an experimental study to answer the question of how an animated film entitled “Garfield the Movie” is used in teaching writing narrative text. In the research, the subject of the study was the eleventh year students of SMA NU 01 Al-Hidayah Kendal in the academic year of 2008/2009. There were two groups used in the research; the experimental group and the control group. The two groups were given different treatments. The experimental group was taught by using an animated film entitled “Garfield the Movie” while the control group was taught without using an animated film entitled “Garfield the Movie”. The objective of this research is to describe the use of a film entitled “Garfield the Movie” in improving the students’ ability in writing narrative text. To achieve the objective of the study, a quantitative method was used. The result of the research showed that the mean score of pre-test from the two groups were nearly the same. The mean score of pre-test for the experimental group was 67.18, and the mean score of pre-test for the control group was 67.59. The very slight difference between the two groups indicated that the two groups were homogeneous. After both, the experimental and control groups were given the different treatments, the score of the two groups increased, where the mean score of post-test for the experimental group was 84.47, and for the control group was 72.69. Since t value > t table, it means there was a significant difference between experimental group and control group on the post-test. The mean score of experimental group was higher than the control group. The significant difference between the two groups showed that the use of an animated film entitled “Garfield the Movie” in teaching writing narrative text was effective. The conclusion taken from the research is that an animated film entitled “Garfield the Movie” give contribution in teaching writing narrative text to the year eleven students of SMA or Senior High School. The film can attract the students’ attention in learning something. The students also will not get bored in learning activity because they do not use a conventional way anymore. It is suggested that in teaching writing narrative text to the eleventh year students of Senior High School teachers use an animated film to attract the students’ attention.
