THE EFFECT OF PICTURE SEQUENCES STRATEGY ON STUDENTS’ WRITING PROCEDURE TEXT ABILITY AT THE ELEVENTH GRADE OF SMKS-1 DAERAH SEI BEJANGKAR IN 2022/2023 ACADEMIC YEAR

Abstract

The objective of the research is to find out whether the strategy picture sequences can effect is students ability in identifying the writing skill of procedure text. To achieve the objectives of the study. The writer conducted a field reseach in which a test simple present tense and that of generic structures of procedure text. The subjects of the study were the eleventh graders of SMKS-1 Daerah Sei Bejangkar. The population of eleventh grade SMKS-1 Daerah Sei Bejangkar are 50 students. The sampling technique used was simple sampling jenuh and the samples were all students at eleventh grade of SMKS-1 Daerah Sei Bejangkar. This research used two classes, namely the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group consisted of 25 students and the control group consisted of 25 students.

The data were collected by giving a picture sequences in simple present tense test item by asking the sample to write procedure text. The data are analyzed by applying the person product moment formula. Based on the calculation of the t-test is the score of product moment degree of freedom(df) N1+N2-2 or 25+25-2= 48, the critical value of the t-table with a significant 0.05 is 2,01 and the t-test is 9,21. The writer concludes that t-test 9,21 > t- table 2,01. It means that the alternative hypotesis (Ha) of the study is accepted and null Hypotesis (Ho) is rejected.
