CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

In this chapter, the researcher discusses the introduction of the study. This

chapter consists of eight parts. They are the background of the study, problem

statements, the objectives of the research, limitation of the research, the significance

of the research, hypothesis and success indicator, research methodology, and

graduating paper outline.

A. Background of the Study

Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of putting

ideas down on paper transform thought into words and given them structure

coherent organization (Brown, 2001, in Fitri et al., 2017: 2-3). As we know

that writing is one of the skills which must measure some aspect of writing

before we write, such as the organization, generic structure, language features,

and others. Therefore, writing is the most significant skill which must be

taught. On the other hand, students are interest in the active learning, it will

create the learning environment exciting. Thus, the material can be

accomplished and understood by the students deeply. There are needed the

effective strategy in teaching writing skill to get what the learning aimed.

Talak-Kiryk (2010: 4) in Wulandari (2016: 145) states that games are

fun activities that promote interaction, thinking, learning, and problem-

solving strategies. Therefore, the researcher will apply the wholesome

Page 17: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

scattering game which is one of the games that can be motivated by the

students to improve their writing skill, especially in descriptive text. The

implementation of wholesome scattering game is the three students will be

asked to write vocabularies which are dictated by the teachers on the board in

unusual shape. Both the teacher and students will correct the letter together

and the students will imitate what the teacher spelling of the vocabularies. The

students will discuss in a group. They will arrange and organize the

vocabularies to be a descriptive text. At least, the students present their task in

front of the class. After that, the teacher will give a feedback on the teaching-

learning process.

Seeing in the fact, according to the interview with English teacher in

SMP ―Plus‖ Assyafa‘ah Karanggede, she faced the problems of the language

teaching process in the eighth grade students. The students have less skill in

four aspects of English, especially writing skill. They not understand yet

about the spelling of words. So, they confused about how to write the English

vocabulary clearly and correctly. It can be measured from the students‘

written task score and the students‘ written exercise in the classroom.

Therefore, the teacher usually implemented imitation strategy in previous of

English teaching-learning. Method and technique of teaching are conditional

based on the materials which would be tough. Besides that, the students‘

response to English subject also is less enthusiastic. So, the researcher

suggested the teacher to implemented the wholesome scattering game in

Page 18: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

writing class. The researcher believe that it can improve the students‘ writing

skills. The students can know how to write and spell the keywords correctly

after implementing wholesome scattering game. Besides that, they also know

and understand the meaning of keywords. Then, they can produce many

sentences using the keywords. They will imagine and predict the content of

text about. So, the students can arrange and organize the sentences into a text.

Finally, both the teacher and the researcher make an agreement to

implementing wholesome scattering game in improve students‘ writing skill.

Based on the problems above, the researcher is very interested in

propose a study entitled, ―IMPROVING STUDENTS‘ WRITING SKILLS

THROUGH WHOLESOME SCATTERING GAME OF THE EIGHTH

GRADE STUDENTS OF SMP ―PLUS‖ ASSYAFA‘AH KARANGGEDE IN

Criteria of English subject (KKM) in the SMP ―Plus‖ Assyafa‘ah Karanggede

is 75. The researcher expects that there are at least 75% of the students who

pass the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM).

G. Research Methodology

1. Method of Research

According to Nunan (1991: 3) stated that an important aspect

of methodology is the development of teaching routines, materials, and

tasks in the classroom. In addition, McNiff (2002: 6) in Vaccarino et al

(2006: 7) mentioned that ―action research‖ refers to ―a practical way of

looking on your own work to check that it is as you would like it to

be‖. In addition, McKay (2006: 16) describing the same idea about

action research, as follows:

―Action research begins with teacher identifying a concrete

problem they have. They then gather data to help solve the

problem and, after carefully analysing this data, undertake

changes in their classroom to helpfully solve their initial

problem.‖

Page 22: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

According to Khasinah (2013: 113) explained that classroom

action research is a method of finding out what works best in own

classroom so that teacher can improve students learning. According to

Burns (2010: 2) stated that the central idea of the action part of Action

Research is to intervene in deliberate way in the problematic situation

in order to bring about changes and, even better, improvement in

practice. On the one hand, Borg, Gall, and Gall (1993: 391) in

Khasinah‘s journal (2013: 109) that state five purposes of classroom

action research. They are:

a. It supports the professional development of practitioners by

helping them become more competent in understanding and

utilizing research finding and carrying out research themselves

when appropriate.

b. It builds a collegial networking system for sometimes it involves

several educators, even students and parents, working together.

c. It helps practitioners identify problem and seek solution in a

systematic fashion.

d. It can be used at all levels and in all areas of education, such as a

mean of in-service training for principals.

In this research, the researcher used classroom action research

4. Research Procedure

According to Kemmis and McTaggart (1988), which are cites by

Burns (2010: 7-9), that there are four stages in the cycle of action research.

The stages of action research are planning, action, observation, and

refection, as explained later:

a. Planning

In this phase, the researcher identifies a problem or issue and develop

a plan of action in order to bring improvements in a specific area of

the research context.

b. Action

The plan is a carefully considered one which involves some deliberate

interventions in the researcher‘s teaching situation that the researcher

put into action an agreed period of time.

c. Observation

In this phase, the researcher involves systematically the effects of the

action and documenting the context, actions, and opinions of those

involved.

17

d. Reflection

At this section, researcher evaluates and describe the effect of the

action in order to make sense of what has happened and to understand

the issue the researcher explored more clearly.

It will be continued from cycle I until that be achieved the clear

result of research. The stages of action research can be imagined as

follows:

Figure. 1.1 Kemmis‟ action research model (cited in Burns, 2010: 9).

In this research, the researcher used four stages in research

procedure which are consists of planning, action (implementation of

wholesome scattering game), observation, and reflection. Those stages are

implemented in every cycle, the cycle I and cycle II.

5. Technique of Data Collecting

Altrichter et al (1993: 77) in Somekh (2006: 11) states that the

data collected at this stage were used to identify problems and

hypothesize solutions based on the theoretical insight that could be tasted

by planning and implementing action strategy. In this research, the

researcher used some techniques in data collection. They are:

a. Observation

Observation will be used as long as teaching-learning activity

since the cycle I. It is aimed to know and appraised the activity and

condition of the research subject. The researcher used the students‘

observational sheet which is consist of students‘ answered greeting

the teacher, students‘ attendance, the students‘ attention, students‘

interest of the wholesome scattering game activity, etc.

b. Test

A test is a set of questions, each of which has a correct answer,

that examines usually answer orally or in writing (Ebel & Frisbie,

1991: 26). On beside that, Heaton (1988: 5) cites that tests may be

constructed primarily as devices to reinforce learning and motivate

the student or primarily as a means of assessing the student‘s

performance in the language. In this research researcher used pre-test

and post-test to measure the students‘ achievement in writing skill of

the eight grade students of SMP ―Plus‖ Assyafa‘ah before and after

Page 34: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

19

the treatment. The Pre-test is done before implemented of the

wholesome scattering game in the classroom. Whereas, a post-test is

implemented after the wholesome scattering game.

c. Documentation

The last technique of collecting data in this research is

documentation that searches the data which correlated with this

research. They are a field note, book, photos, video, etc. Therefore,

the researcher can know the condition and activity of teacher and

students as long as the teaching-learning process.

6. Instrument of Research

Based on the technique of data collecting, the researcher used

some research instrument. They are:

a. The teacher‘s and students‘ observational sheets

The instrument that used in this observation is an

observational sheet, which is consist of the teacher‘s and students‘

observational sheet. The teacher‘s and students‘ observational sheet

are a tool to observe the activities of implementing the wholesome

scattering game in the classroom. The teacher‘s sheet is used to

observe the teacher‘s activities. Besides that, the students‘ sheet is as

a tool to appraise the students‘ activity in the classroom during the

implementation of wholesome scattering game. This is directly

7. Technique of Data Analysis

a. Descriptive Technique (Qualitative)

A descriptive technique is used by the researcher in order to

analyze the students‘ motivation, interest, and behavior during the

teaching-learning process. This technique is supported by the

researcher observational sheet.

b. Statistical Technique (Quantitative)

1) Mean

According to Ebel & Frisbie (1991:60), the mean is the

average score, obtained by summing all the scores and dividing

that sum by the total of scores. The formula of the mean can be

represented as follows (Hadi, 1981: 246-258):

CHAPTER II

THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

In this chapter, the researcher writes the theories that have a correlation with this

research. They consist of previous research, writing skill, the genre of the text,

wholesome scattering game, and descriptive text.

A. Previous Research

The first research is entitled ―Improving Students’ Ability in Writing

Descriptive Text Through ‘Wholesome Scattering Game’ (A classroom action

research with the eighth grade students of MTs Patean Kendal in academic

year 2010/2011)‖. The research was written by Hami Widodo that is a student

of education faculty, Walisongo state institute for Islamic studies, Semarang.

This research is classroom action research that was done in two cycles, the

first cycle used wholesome scattering game as a media in teaching descriptive

text, the researcher of that research asked the students to describe their best

friend in the class using keywords had been given by the researcher of that

research. On the other hand, the score of the students‘ writing was 50.7 with

the total score of 1570 in the first cycle. Whereas the second cycle, the

researcher of that research asked students to describe beach which the score of

students‘ writing was 67.6 with the total score of 2095. The result of that

result showed that the students had improvement of their ability in writing

descriptive text that covers parts, qualities, and characteristics of the object.

Page 43: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

28

The second research is entitled ―Improving the Ability in Writing

Descriptive Text of the Seventh Grade Students of MTs Miftahul Falah Kayen

Pati in Academic Year 2013/2014 by Using Wholesome Scattering Game‖.

The research was written by Novi Khumaerotul Hidayah which was one of the

students in Universitas Muria Kudus. The research design was classroom

action research. The research subject is the seventh-grade students‘ A of MTs

Miftahul Falah Kayen Pati which consist of twenty-two students. The

researcher did this research in two cycles, the cycle I and the cycle II. The

students‘ average score of pre-test in writing descriptive text is 59.13%. While

the post-test of cycle I indicated that the students‘ average score in writing

descriptive text is 76.77%. In the cycle II, the students‘ average score is

83.54%. So, it can be concluded that there is an improvement of the students‘

writing ability in descriptive text in every cycle. On the besides that, the

classroom environment is more effective and the students are better

confidence, braver, and it creates a fun teaching-learning.

The third research is entitled ―Improving Students Ability in Writing

Procedure Text Through Wholesome Scattering Game of Tenth Grade Student

of SMA Muhammadiyah Kudus in Academic Year 2016/2017‖. This research

was written by Adha Umi Haryanti which is one of the students in Universitas

Muara Kudus. The design of the research was classroom action research

which was done in two cycles. Every cycle consists of four stages: planning,

acting, observing, and reflecting. According to the instruments of collecting

Page 44: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

29

data that are observation sheet and written test, the implementation of

wholesome scattering game can improve the students‘ ability in procedure

text. They could easily without consuming more time because they were

arranging and writing procedure text based on the key-words. It can be seen

from the improvement score of the cycle I and cycle II. The average of the

cycle I is 75% and the average score is 69.9. Fire while in cycle II the average

is 78% and the students‘ average score improved.

Based on some of the previous study above, there are differences

between this research and the others previous research, as mentioned. The

first and second research is most relevant with this research which is about the

improvement of students‘ writing through wholesome scattering game. The

differences between each other are the research subject, the data collection,

and the specific material. The last one, the differences of the third research are

the subject and the material which was given, it is a procedure text. While, the

material in this research is descriptive text.

B. Writing

1. Definition of Writing

Writing is widely used within foreign language courses as a

convenient means for engaging with aspects of language other than the

writing itself (Ur, 1991: 162). Therefore, writing is very important to teach

by the educator. It has to pass many stages to produce a good written. One

of them, the learners have to understand clearly the organization of the

Page 45: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

30

text in order to the arrangement of the paragraph will not out of the topics

sentences.

Writing is an extreme act of attention and memory; it pleads with

your brain cells to make a new connection (Morley 2007: 8). On the other

word, it needs a hard and smart work of thinking in the process of learning

writing skill. This occurs the students‘ assumption that learning writing

skill is very hard to learn. It is one of the difficulties for them. In addition,

the teacher applies inactive learning, so the students are bored and they

need a motivation to attend enthusiastically the learning process. Indeed,

there are theifferent reason for writing in the foreign language classroom,

as explained more of Wright et al (2006:58), they are:

a. We can see, very readily, the learners‘ proficiency level: what

language items the learners can use correctly and what

mistakes they make. This is the traditional and still useful role

for writing.

b. Many who are visual learners need to write in order to engage

their way of learning … they need to see the language. Writing

with this purpose means that it is relevant even for learners

who take no written examinations.

c. Learners can be made aware of the many different purposes

for writing in society: describing, narrating, advising, etc.

Page 46: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

31

Writing is one of the skills that need an understanding of grammar

and vocabularies mastery. It is aimed to produce the sentences or a text

effectively and well.

2. The purpose of Writing

According to Ur (1991: 163) the purpose of writing, in principle, is

the expression of ideas, the conveying of message to the reader; so the

ideas themselves should arguably be seen as the most important aspect of

the writing Difficulties of Writing. Since this will affect what language

they choose and how they use it (Harmer, 2004: 15). In addition, writing

skills provide step-by-step instruction in the foundational skills needed by

students to become good writers, including grammar, sentence structure,

paragraph composition, mechanics and usage, and transcription. Writing

skills help build fluency and confidence and provides a variety of

strategies and opportunities to apply them. It is ideal for differentiated

instruction and can serve as a comprehensive writing program is general

classrooms, inclusion classrooms, and specialized settings (EPS:2).

3. Process of Writing

As the explanation of a Hyland‘s book (2003: 10-13) that the

process approach to writing teaching emphasize the writer as an

independent producer of texts, but it goes further to address the issues of

what teacher should do to help learners perform a writing task. In addition,

the process of writing is a rich amalgam of elements of which cognition is

Page 47: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

32

only one. Process writing is a way of looking at what people do when they

compose written text. As we know that, there are some stages that will be

prepared. Harmer (2004: 4-5) cited that there are some stages in writing

skill as a follows:

a. Planning

Experienced writers plan want they are going to write. When

planning, writers have to think about three main issues. In the first

place, they have to consider the purpose of their writing since this will

influence (amongst other things) not only the type of the text they wish

to produce, but also the language they use, and the information they

choose to include. Secondly, experienced writers think of the audience

they are writing for, and also the choice of language, it is formal or

informal. Thirdly, writers have to consider the content structure of the

piece – that is, how best to sequence the fact, ideas, or arguments

which they have decided to include.

b. Drafting

As the writing process proceeds into editing, a number of the

draft may be produced on the way to the final version.

c. Editing (Reflecting and Revising)

More skilled writers tend to look at issues of general meaning

and overall structure before concentrating on detailed features such as

individual meaning and grammatical accuracy. Reflecting and revising

Page 48: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

33

are often helped by other readers (or editors) who comment and make

suggestions. Another reader‘s reaction to a piece of writing will help

the author to make appropriate revisions.

d. Final Version

Once writers have edited their draft, making the changes they

consider to be necessary, they produce their final version. This may

look considerably changed in the editing process. But the writer is now

ready to send the written text to its intended audience.

Brown (1991: 335-336) state some process approaches to writing

which are adapted from Shih (1986) as follows:

a. Focus on the process of writing that leads to the final written product.

b. Help student writes to understand their own composting process.

c. Help them to build repertoires of strategies for prewriting, drafting,

and rewriting.

d. Give students time to write and rewrite.

e. Place central importance on the process of revision.

f. Let students discover what they want to say as they write.

g. Give students feedback throughout the composing process (not just on

the final product) as they attempt to bring their expression closer to

intention.

h. Encourage feedback from both the instructor and peers.

34

i. Include individual conferences between teacher and student during the

process of composition.

In this research, the researcher focuses on the students‘ process and

product of the writing. It involves the teacher to explains and guided the

students in teaching-learning process. In order to the students understand

the component of writing and can write what their idea effectively and

organizing.

4. Genre of Writing Text

Hyland explained that genre is social processes because members of

a culture interact to achieve them; they are goal-oriented because they

have evolved to achieve things; and stage because meanings are made in

steps and it usually takes writers more than one step to reach their goals.

He mentioned some factual genres in his book, they are a recount,

procedure, description, report, and explanation (Hyland, 2003: 19-20).

Table. 2.6 Some Factual Genres

Genre Purpose

Recount

To reconstruct past experiences by retelling

events in the original sequence.

Procedure

To show how processes or events are

accomplished – how something is done.

Report

To present factual information about a class

of things, usually by classifying them and

then describing their characteristics.

Explanation

To give reasons for a state of affairs or

judgment.

Source: Buttet al., 2000; Martin, 1989.

One of the genres above will be tough in the teaching-learning

process of this research, descriptive text. It is about describing something,

person, event, or place. It explains the characteristic of the object.

5. Assessment of Writing

According to PDST (2013:36) stated as a follows:

―Assessment is the process of generating, gathering, recording,

interpreting, using and reporting evidence of learning in

individuals, group or system, which relies upon a number of

instruments, one of which may be a test. Educational assessment

provides information about progress in learning‖

(assessment in the primary school curriculum, Guidelines for

school. NCCA, 2007, p. 4)

There are some criteria in the writing assessment which are needed

more attention by the teachers. According to Hamp-Lyons (1991b) in

Weigle‘s book (2002: 115) state that the assessment has had a positive

reception among students, faculty, advisor, and other community members

because it reflects the concerns of and is easily interpreted by these varied

constituencies. Besides on Fauziati, et al (2005: 73) mentioned two

Page 51: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

assessment of learning English, assessment of the process and outcome of

learning English. The assessment of process is appraised during the

teaching-learning process such as the students‘ attendance, the students‘

active participation and creativity in solving the problems in the process of

learning, etc. Whereas, the assessment outcome of learning English is

about the students‘ competence in understanding the material which is

given.

Harris (1996) in fauziati et al. (2005: 73) mentioned the component

of writing ability as follows:

a. Content : the substance of the writing, the ideas expressed.

b. Form : the organization of the contents.

c. Grammar : the employment of the syntactical patterns.

d. Style : the choice of structure and lexical items to give a

particular flavor for the writing.

e. Mechanics: the use of the graphics convention.

In addition, JB. Heaton (1988: 135) cites that there are five

components for writing good prose. They are:

a. Language uses: the ability to write correct and appropriate

sentences;

b. Mechanical skills: the ability to use correctly those conventions

peculiar to the written language – e.g. punctuation, spelling;

Page 52: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

37

c. Treatment of content: the ability to think creatively and develop

thoughts, excluding all irrelevant information;

d. Stylistic skills: the ability to manipulate sentences and

paragraphs, and use language effectively;

e. Judgement skills: the ability to write in an appropriate manner

for particular audience in mind, together with an ability to select,

organise and order relevant information.

Based on the explained, there are necessary arrange the scales and

rating scales in order to be easier for the teacher in appraising the students‘

writing skills. According to Weigle, et al. (109-116) states that rating scale

is of critical importance for the validity of the assessment. In this research

researcher used scale which consists of five criterion of scoring writing

skills assessment, it is described as below:

6. The Teachers‘ Role in Writing

Teaching is about teach and guidance the learners. Based on

explanation of Harmer (1998 :79) about one of the important reason of

teaching writing skill, as below:

Writing Skill: by far the most important reason for teaching

writing, of course, is that it is a basic language skill, just as

important as speaking, listening, and reading. Students need to

know how to write letters, how to put written reports together,

how to reply to advertisements – and increasingly, how to write

using electronic media. They need to know some of writing‘s

special conventions (punctuation, paragraph construction etc.) just

as they need to know how to pronounce spoken English

appropriately. Part of our job is give them that skill.

Teaching writing is not about how to teach the learners write clearly

in their product. But it must understand deeply of teaching writing skill

process. Writing skill need to be explicitly taught (Welsh Assembly

Government, 2010: 18). In addition, Hyland (2003: 1) cites that

Page 56: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

41

everything we do in the classroom, the methods and materials we adopt,

the teaching style we assume, the task we assign, are guided by both

practical and theoretical knowledge, and our decisions can be more

effective if that knowledge explicit.

Teacher‘s roles can change from one task to another or from one

stage of an activity to another, and an ability to be flexible in moving

between roles can contribute to the success of a class (Hyland, 2003: 119).

In addition, Harmer (2001: 57-62) mentioned that there are eight roles of

teachers in the classroom. They are controller, organizer, assessor,

prompter, participant, resource, tutor, and the last is observer. All of them,

the teacher just has three effective roles in teaching writing subject, as

Harmer (2001: 261-262) explained:

a. Teacher as Motivator

The teacher will motivate the students where they are involved

in creative writing activity it is usually the case that some find it

easier to generate ideas than others.

b. Teacher as Resource

In this teachers‘ roles should be ready to supply information and

language where necessary.

c. Teacher as Feedback Provider

Teachers give feedback on writing task special care, where is

that offering correction teachers should choose what and how

Page 57: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

42

much to focus on based on what students need at this particular

stage of their studies, and on the tasks they have undertaken.

Based on explained, teachers should be a guide in teaching writing

and, on the contrary, students need more explanation what has to be

written and how they can write the sequences of ideas and can‘t come out

of the topics. In this research, the teacher combined the three roles, as

explained, in the teaching writing process.

C. Wholesome Scattering Game

1. Definition of Game

Wright et al (2006 :2) state that games also help the teacher to

create context in which the language is useful and meaningful. The

learners want to take part, and in order to do so must understand what

others are saying or have written, and they must speak or write in order to

express their own point of view or give information. Games provide one

way of helping learners to experience language rather than merely study it.

Sigríður Dögg Sigurðardóttir (2010: 15) cites that games can be a

good way to prevent this because not only are games fun but they can

provide writers with a reason to write and it is obvious that writing will

become easier when there is a clear reason instead of just having to write

because the teacher said so.

Page 58: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

43

The game is used in order to improve students‘ motivation in the

writing class. Besides that, the students were not bored to participate in the

in writing teaching-learning process.

2. Wholesome Scattering Game

Wholesome scattering game is one technique that was put forward

by Natalie Hess in one of his book that entitled Headstarts. He (1991: 39)

explained that in this activity, students, on occasion not only predict the

content of the passage they are about to read, but also almost duplicate

sentences which actually appear in it. The first of implementing of this

technique is arranging the words in weird and unusual ways is fun and

takes a quite a while. The teacher has to prepare before conducting this

activity. It is about choosing twelve to sixteen keywords from the text

which will read in the class. Based on Hess cites that there is some

procedure for implementing wholesome scattering, as follows:

a. Ask three to five students to come to the board. Their task is to write

down words you dictate. (in a good class, ask a student to dictate).

Each student writes each word do that each word is written as many

times as there are students at the board. They scatter these words at

random all over the board, and try to arrange the words in unusual

ways. Some will be written horizontally, other vertically, others in

shapes, others upside down. Do not comment on spelling at this stage.

Some students will change their spelling as they observe how the

Page 59: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

44

student next to them has spelt a word or as they are corrected by others

in the class.

b. While the students at the board are doing this, those their seats can

produce their own arrangements of the words either on paper or in

notebooks.

c. When you have finished dictating the words, the students who are at

the board return to their seats.

d. Ask if anyone in the class thinks they have produced a particularly

unusual arrangement of the words. If there are volunteers, ask them to

display their arrangements.

e. Go over the words on the board, eliciting correct spelling and

meaning.

f. Ask the students, in pairs, to write as many sentences as possible using

the words on the board. They should try to put more than one of the

words in each sentence. Tell them that they have only three minutes

for this.

g. Stop them when the time is up and ask pairs to tell you how many

sentences they have succeeded in writing.

h. Ask each pair to read out its best sentence.

i. Ask the class to predict the content of the text they are about to read.

D. Descriptive Text

1. Definition of Descriptive Text

Descriptive text is one of a genre of text which explain the

characteristic or condition about someone or something, it can be a place,

person, animals, etc. According to Kane (2000:7) description deals with

perceptions-most commonly visual perception. Its central problem is to

arrange what we see into a significance pattern. In addition, Gerot and

Wignell (1995:208) in Masitoh and Suprijadis‘ journal (2015: 40) define

―descriptive text is kind of text which is aimed to describe a particular

person, place or things‖.

2. The purpose of Descriptive Text

According to Mutiara in Rojiyah (2017) stated that the purpose of

descriptive writing is to make our readers see, feel and hear what we have

seen, felt, and heard. Whether we are describing a person, a place, or a

thing, our aim is to reveal a subject through vivid and carefully selected

details. In addition, Oshima & Hogue (2007: 61) state that the reader can

image the object, place, or person in his or her mind. Dietsch (2006: 140)

also explained in Mumtazati (2014: 15) that there are three general

purpose: First, to create imagery, a mood, or an aura of place. Second, to

stimulate understanding and convince, and Third, to urge the listener to

action. Its mean that the purpose of descriptive text is to describe or to

explain more about the characteristics of person, thing, place, and another

Page 61: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

46

which the readers can feel or imagine clearly what the writer described.

Thus, the purpose of the descriptive text is to describe or explain the

characteristic or identify the object which will give the real imagine to the

reader.

3. Types of Descriptive Text

There are some types of descriptive text. According to Jolly (1984:

470) in Siburian‘s journal (2013: 34) asserts there are types of descriptive

writing paragraph. They are:

a. Describing Process

Describing a process not only explains how something was

done and what was needed to complete the process.

b. Describing an event

To describe an event, a writer should be able to memorize and

remember what happened in the event. Supposed the writer will

write about Tsunami that was happened in Japan. In this case,

he/she has to explain all details related to the event, so that the

readers can imagine the real situation and condition.

c. Describing a personality

In describing person, the first thing that we do was recognizing

his/her individual characteristics. We need to describe people

occurs fairly areas of physical attribute (hair, eyes), emotional

Page 62: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

47

(warm, nervous), moral attributes (greedy, honest, worthy,

trust), and intellectual (cleverness, perception).

d. Describing a place

Presenting something concrete was the way to describe place,

for example: a home, a hospital, and school.

e. Describing an object

To describe an object accurately was done by providing the

physical characteristics of the object such as the color, form,

shape, and so on.

In addition, Siburian (2013: 35) also state that there are three part

of descriptive text, as follows:

a. Social Function

Describe the characteristics and conditions of the object person,

thing, place, or animal by using adjective and attribute.

b. Generic Structure

It was divided into two part they are a) identification was to

identify the phenomenon that was described, and b) description

was to describe the qualities, characteristics, condition, and part

of an object in detail.

c. Grammatical Feature

In description paragraph, it uses present tense as normally.

48

4. Language Feature of Descriptive Text

According to Knapp & Watkins (2005: 98-100) states that there are

some language features in the descriptive text as follows:

a. The present tense is predominantly used; for example, has, eats,

sings, lays, swim.

b. Although Present tense may be used in literary description; for

example, has, was, enjoy, seemed, sparkled.

c. Used relational verb (is, are, have, has) when classifying and

describing appearance or qualities and parts or functions of

phenomenon; for example,

Eric the Red is an old man. Eric the Red has a great coat.

d. Used action verb when describing behaviour or uses; for

example,

The queen ant lays the eggs.

e. used action verb to create effect metaphorically in literacy and

common sense descriptions; for example,

Mia bubbled with enthusiasm. Declan smashed the record.

f. Used adjective to add extra information to nouns and may be

technical, every day or literary, depending on the text; for

example;

Page 64: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

49

Possums are nocturnal Technical

It is grey and brown. Everyday

He appearance was majestic. literary

Adjective can use as part of noun group, as below:

Turtles are covered with hard, box-like shell. Technical

He has a cool hairstyle. Everyday

His luminous, dark coat gave him an eerie

quality.

Literary

g. Used adverb to add extra information to verb to provide more

detailed description and adverbial verb to add information about

the manner, place or time; for example,

Turtles swim slowly.

Walruses have hair on their lips. Place

The student only worked diligently just before

exams.

Time

h. Used personal description; for example, my favourite toy, my

house, my big bear.

In addition, Fuziati et.al. (2005: 121-122) also cite that the

language features of descriptive text include the following indicators:

a. Certain nouns, such as teacher, house, my cat, bridge, etc.

b. Simple Present Tense.

Page 65: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

50

c. Detailed noun phrase to give information about a subject, such as it

was a large open rowboat, a sweet young lady, the deaf person, etc.

d. Various adjective which are describing, numbering, classifying such as

two strong legs, sharp white fangs, her curly hair, etc.

e. Relating verb to give information about a subject, such as My mum is

really cool; it has very thick fur, the rest remains at home, etc.

f. Thinking verbs and feeling verbs to reveal the writer‘s view, such as

The police believe the suspect is armed; I think it is a clever animal,

etc.

g. Action verb, such as Our new puppy bites our shoes; it eats soft food,

etc.

h. Adverbs to give additional information about manner, such as fast,

gradually, at the tree house, etc.

i. Figurative language, such smile, metaphor, e.g. John is white as chalk,

sat tight, etc.

5. Generic Structure of Descriptive Text

In the writing skill, we have to find out one of the component in

writing, Generic structure. It is expected that the written can be the unity

arrangement. Every genre of text has a generic structure which different

with others. As the generic structure of descriptive text that will be more

explained latter.

51

According to Pardiyono (2007: 36-37) in Sibarani (2017: 36-37)

states that there are two elements in descriptive text, which is arranged

based on the model order placement (rhetorical structure) that standard

and very commonly recognized convention: Identification and

Description.

Table. 2.8 Generic Structure of descriptive Text

Text Element Function

Identification - It is a statement describing and illustrating about the

topic/ theme to be described.

- Statement must be interesting and is able to attract and

to provoke the reader so that the reader becomes

interested in reading the complete description.

- The use of adjective and degree of comparison is

advisable, for example:

- ―Yogyakarta, well known as Kota Pelajar, is one the

most interesting cities in Indonesia‖.

Description - It is a complete description about the condition of object

that can evaluated from several aspects: location, means

of transport, people, weather, size, etc.

Page 67: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

52

The example of descriptive text:

Title My Pet

Identification

I have a pet. It is a dog, and I call it Brownie. Brownie is a

Chinese breed.

Description

It is small, fluffy, and cute. It has got thick brown fur. When I

cuddle it, the fur fells soft. Brownie does not like bones.

Every day it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread.

Every morning I give her milk and bread. When I am at

school, Brownie plays with my cat. They get along well, and

never fight maybe because Brownie does not bark a lot. It

treats the other animals in our house gently, and it never eats

shoes. Brownie is really a sweet and friendly animal.

E. Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM)

According to Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (2017: 8-9)

cites that Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) is the standard setting

which is determined by the educational united that refers to the graduate

competence standard (SKL) and it is consideration of the students‘

characteristic, the subject characteristic, and the educational units.

There are three aspects to decide the Minimum Completeness Criteria

(KKM). They are:

1. Complexity aspects (competency)

The teachers have to understand the basic competency (KD)

accurately.

Page 68: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

53

2. Intake aspects (the learner quality)

It is based on the students‘ characteristic which can be measured

with National Examination, Post-test in the school before, and Raport.

3. Educators capacity

This aspect consists of the teachers‘ educational background, the

availability of teachers, subject, facility of teaching-learning process, the

foundation etc.

In addition, Fauziati et. al. (2005: 74) state also that the school has the

determination of the students‘ mastery level which determine by considering

the following aspects:

1. Students‘ intake

2. The complexity of indicators

3. Supporting factors (teacher, instruments, etc.)

They also explained that the criterion which is used for determining

the mastery level of each basic competence is 0% - 100% and the ideal one is

75%.

CHAPTER III

IMPLEMENTATION OF RESEARCH

In this research, the researcher use classroom action research. The researcher

conducted this research in two cycles, the cycle I and cycle II. It‘s consists of four

steps in every cycle: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The activities of

each cycle as follows:

A. CYCLE I

The researcher implemented wholesome scattering game in

improving students‘ writing skills of the eighth grade students which are

consists of twenty students. The researcher and the teacher corroborated in

conducting wholesome scattering game. The material is descriptive text.

The steps of the first cycle as explain later:

1. Planning

The first step in classroom action research is planning. In this

section, researcher make some agreement and prepare what anything

which is needed in this research such as the materials of teaching

learning process, the teaching aids, and pre-test and post-test. The

more details explanation of steps in the planning section as follows:

a. Makes some agreements with the headmaster and teacher that the

researcher will do an observation in the classroom.

Before the researcher conducting the research in the school, the

researcher asks permission to the headmaster. Then, the researcher

Page 70: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

55

interviews the English teacher about the problems and the previous

method who faced by in teaching-learning process.

In the last session of the interview, the researcher and the teacher

take same agreement to implementing the wholesome scattering

game in improving students‘ writing skills. Besides that, they

discussed about the time of the research, the arrangements of

lesson plan, syllabus, the instruments of research, and the

technique of data collecting.

b. Preparing the materials for teaching-learning process.

After the researcher interview with the English teacher. The

researcher arranged and prepared the materials which are needed in

teaching-learning process like the lesson plan, the validity of

research, designing the procedure in doing the action, descriptive

text material about describing place.

c. Preparing the teaching aids.

Before conducting the research, the researcher prepared the

teaching aids like the camera (it was used to take a pictures and

videos during the action) and field notes. It is aimed to know the

teacher‘s and students‘ activities in during implementing

wholesome scattering game in the classroom.

Page 71: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

56

d. Preparing pre-test and post-test in cycle I.

The researcher prepares pre-test and post-test in this research of

cycle I. Pre-test was used to measure the students‘ writing skills

before implementation wholesome scattering game in the writing

class. While, post-test was used to measure the students‘ writing

skills after implementing wholesome scattering game.

2. Action

The second step of action research is action. After the

researcher arranges the planning of research, researcher act in the

classroom. This is one of researcher role such as giving pre-test, ask

the teacher to act in the classroom (explain the descriptive text

materials, implemented the wholesome scattering game), and giving

post-test, as more explained.

In the cycle I, the researcher rolled as an observer and observed

teacher‘s and students‘ activity in teaching-learning process. The

researcher conducted the cycle I on Tuesday, 21th

August 2018 at

10.40 a.m. The researcher and the teacher entered the eighth class. The

teacher give greeting the students when she entered the classroom. She

would not continue before the students give response. The teacher

informed the students that a few days the class would be observed by

the researcher. The short conversation as follows:

Teacher : ―Assalamu’alaikum. Wr. Wb.‖

Page 72: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

57

Students : ―Wa’alaikumussalam. Wr. Wb., Miss.‖

Teacher : ―Good Morning, Students?‖

Students : ―Good Morning, Miss.‖

Teacher : ―We have guest today and few days later to observed

our class. Time is yours to introduce yourself.‖

Researcher : ―Thank you, Miss. Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.‖

Students : ―wa’alaikumussalam Wr.Wb. What your name Miss?‖

Researcher : ―Ok. I would introduce myself. My name is Ni’matul

Maula. Those are my friends, Miss Nurul and Miss

Ulfa. We would accompany u for few days later in.‖

Students : ―Ok, Miss.‖

Researcher : ―I think enough. Thank you.‖

The researcher give pre-test which was helped by the teacher. It used

to measure the students writing skills in descriptive text before the

action.

a. Giving pre-test to students.

The teacher explained the instruction in the pre-test before giving

the pre-test. The researcher and the teacher collaborated in giving

the pre-test. The students have fifteen minutes to doing the pre-test.

While, the teacher walked around the class to check the students in

doing the test. Two girl students ―Istiqomah and Zulia‖ who sit in

the front seat, asked about the instruction and how to write a

Page 73: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

58

descriptive text. The teacher re-explained the instruction in pre-test

and she said ―You can write what your idea of the topic as many

sentences as you knew and understood.‖. Two students (Laufa and

It is the last phase which is the researcher reflect on, evaluate

and describe the effect of the action. They are:

a. Analysing the result of students‘ and teacher‘s observational sheet.

In the second cycle, the teacher implemented wholesome scattering

game well. Besides that, the students‘ participation improved in

teaching-learning process. There are sixteen students‘ which

motivated and enthusiastic to writing text. So, the teacher‘s and the

students‘ activity in the second cycle was better than in the first

cycle.

b. Analysing the data of the second cycle.

Based on the data of the second cycle, it is fifteen students who

pass the passing grade after implementing wholesome scattering

game. Besides that, the mean score of pre-test was 66.15 and the

mean score of post-test is 73.95. T-table is 6.59.

c. Compare the result of the first and the second cycle.

The researcher compared the result of the data in the first and the

second cycle. It shown that the result of the data in second cycle

was higher than in the second cycle like the mean score of pre-test

and post-test, the T-test and the students‘ passing grade.

Based on the reflection, wholesome scattering game can improve

students‘ writing skills of the eighth grade students, especially in

descriptive text. Besides that, the result of the data achieved a satisfactory

outcome for the researcher in the second cycle. So, the researcher finished

this research in the second cycle.

CHAPTER IV

RESEARCH DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION

In this chapter, the researcher presents the analysis of the data which have been

collected from four sources: observation, test, and documentation. There were two

cycles in this research, the cycle I and the cycle II. Every cycle consisted of four

stages: planning, action (implementing of wholesome scattering game), observation,

and reflection.

A. Data Analysis

In this stage, the researcher would like to analyse the improvement of

students by using t-test calculation from the result of pre-test and post-test.

B. Discussion

Based on the result of the research, the implementation of wholesome

scattering game in teaching-learning process (was taught and) the instrument

validated by Miss. Anis, S.Pd as an English teacher in SMP ‗Plus‘ Assyafa‘ah

Karanggede. The research used two cycles which consisted of planning,

action, observation, and reflection.

The score of post-test in cycle I is higher than the score of pre-test

(63.3 > 50.6). Meanwhile, the score of post-test in cycle II is higher than the

score of pre-test (78 > 66.15). Besides that, the students stimulated to

produce sentences based on the vocabularies which was written. Then they

have an idea to arrange the sentence to be a text.

Based on the field note and observational sheet when the wholesome

scattering game was implemented in the classroom, the researcher analysis

that there are improvements in students‘ writing skills in descriptive text.

One of the improvements is the general structure and language features.

Based on the t-test in the cycle I and cycle II, wholesome scattering

game is very significant to improve students‘ writing skills, especially in

descriptive text. It can be seen by the t-test in cycle I and t-test in cycle II,

5.99 and 7.09. The t-test in two cycles is higher than t-table (5.99 > 2.09 in

cycle I and 7.09 > 2.09 in cycle II).

Wholesome scattering game can improve the students‘ writing skills,

especially in descriptive text. It can be examined from the students‘ result of

the pre-test and post-test. Most of students confused to write descriptive text

in the pre-test, especially in the cycle I. They do not know yet anything

about a descriptive text, the aimed, the generic structure, and the language

feature. In contrast, the students understand and know how to write a

descriptive text based on the vocabularies which was known through

implementing the wholesome scattering game. Therefore, they can arrange a

sentence into a descriptive text organizing.

scattering game is a simple to be applied in the classroom. It is more simple

of wholesome scattering game to improve students‘ writing skills in descriptive text

of the eighth grade students of SMP ‗Plus‘ Assyafa‘ah Karanggede in the academic

year of 2018/2019.

A. Conclusions

After concluding the research of teaching writing in a descriptive text

through implementing wholesome scattering game, the researcher

concludes of the result, as follows:

1. The implementation of wholesome scattering game can improve students‘

writing skills especially in descriptive text for the eighth grade students of

SMP ‗Plus‘ Assyafa‘ah Karanggede in the academic year of 2018/2019.

There was some procedure in implementing wholesome scattering game,

as would be described:

The teacher asks three students to come in front of the class. The students

will write in unusual ways in the board what the teacher dictated of

keywords. The teacher asks to other students on their seats to observe and

write of keywords on their paper or book. When the three of students

done their task, the teacher asks them to come back on their seats. Then,

the teacher asks students to display in front of the class if they have

different idea in arranging the keywords. And then, the teacher asks

Page 119: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

104

students, in pairs, to write as many sentences as possible using the

keywords. When time is up, the teacher stops them in doing their tasks.

Next, the teacher asks two pairs to presents their result of discussion. The

last one, the teacher ask students to predict the content of the text.

Wholesome scattering game was implemented better in the second cycle

than in the first cycle. In the second cycle, the teacher doing all activities

of the lesson plan. But the teacher forgot to doing some activities in the

first cycle. The students also could response well in the second cycle.

Besides that, the students‘ writing skills improved after implementing

wholesome scattering game. The students‘ improvement can be proved by

the students‘ score in pre-test and post-test. The score of post-test is more

than pre-test. In cycle I, it shows that the students‘ pre-test is 50.6 and the

students‘ post-test is 63.3. Besides that, in cycle II, the students‘ pre-test

is 66.15 and the students‘ post-test is 78. It means that there is a

difference between pre-test and post-test. Because (

).

2. The wholesome scattering game is significant to improve students‘ writing

skills for the eighth grade students of SMP ‗Plus‘ Assyafa‘ah Karanggede

in the academic year of 2018/2019. It can be seen by the t-test that is

higher than t-table in two cycles. In the first cycle, a t-test is 5.99 that

higher than t-table, 2.09. Besides that, a t-test in the second cycle is also

Page 120: IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ WRITING SKILLS THROUGHe-repository.perpus.iainsalatiga.ac.id/4345/1/skripsi nikmatul maula... · Writing is thinking process, because writing is a process of

105

higher than t-table (7.09 > 2.09). Therefore, the researcher concludes that

wholesome scattering game is significant to improve students‘ writing

skills.

B. Suggestion

process of implementation wholesome scattering game do enough good. In the phase

of post-test, the students good enough understand about the materials of descriptive

text. They are easier to write and to arrange the sentences because they know some of

vocabularies who correlated the object which will be described. The students‘ do the
