CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Research
Language is a tool to communicate human‟s thought and feeling to
others. Communication in this term means utilize of conventionalized
signs, sounds, gestures, or marks having understood meaning (Webster‟s
Third New International Dictionary of the English in Brown, 1996: 5).
Language is an instrument to transmit messages from speaker to
hearer, from addresser to addressee, from locutor to interlocutor. To
connect the countries all over the world, English has been chosen as the
international language. The current status of English as an international or
global language is underpinned by it‟s wide use in a range of fields such as
politics, diplomacy, international trade and industry, commerce, science
and technology, education, the media, information technology, and
popular culture (Allan, 2008: 12).
English is spoken by people from all over the world. Everybody
knows about English even though they cannot speak or write this language
well. There are four skills of English that should be mastered students such
as speaking, listening, reading and writing. Writing is productive skill in
English because students must be through a process that is full with
theoretical rules about grammar.English is a foreign language in
Indonesia. The importance of it in relation to our friendship with other
countries is to accelerate the development in our nation, English has been
2
a language of international communication and a language of modern
technology.
In language learning process there are some skills must be
mastered by students. They are writing, reading, listening and speaking
skill. Those skills are needed to the students to communicate both oral and
written form.
The learning process is based on the high interest and ability in
understanding science and information. Hodgson (Tarin, 1994: 7) says that
reading is a process that is carried and used by a reader to get a message to
be conveyed through written language writers. Based on some of the
above definition, it can be concluded that reading is a thinking process that
includes telling, interpret the meaning and symbols of written by involving
eyesight eye movement, inner speaker, and memory.
People need to communicate with others by a language because
language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols, which permits all people
ingiven culture to communicate or to interact. By language people are able
toconvey the messages, feeling and thought in their mind so that they
caninteract with other. Communication between the reader and the writer
will be better if the reader has a better ability. The progress of civilization
of a nation cannot be separated from a continuous learning process.
Writing is the most difficult language skills. It is also considered as
the most complicated language skill to be learned, compared to other
language skills. In writing process we always involve thinking skill and
3
creative skill. Not only that, but also it is supported by tight rules.
Mastering vocabularies and tenses become the main key to get a good
writing. We have to choose appropriate vocabularies to arrange words to
be a sentence and develop it to be paragraph. Besides that, we also have to
use a compatible tense to express an event in certain time. Writing skill is
the one of skill which has to be mastered by students.
Based the phenomenon above, the writer tries to find the method to
improve the students‟ ability in writing especially in writing descriptive
text. MTs Aswaja Tengaran is a school for the writer to conduct
anresearching study by Picture media. Picture is a visual media that
produced from photograph. It is everything that formed visually into two
dimensions as the outflow of various think. Picture is one of the media
used to create the game.
The writer thinks that the students are in need to develop in their
writing performance to write something especially in descriptive text. For
that purpose, the writer decided to conduct a research entitled “THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF USING PICTURE MEDIA TO IMPROVE
STUDENTS’ WRITING PERFORMANCE IN DESCRIPTIVE
TEXT” (A classroom action research of the Eight Grade Students of MTs
Aswaja Tengaran in the academic year 2015/2016).

G. The definition of the Key Terms
To avoid misinterpretation about the title of this research, the
writer would like to clarify and explain the terms used in this study as
follows:
8
1. Implementation
Implementation is geared to the activity, action, or to the
mechanism of a system. Implementation is not justactivity, but a
planned activity and to achieve destination activities "(Usman, 2002:
70). Understanding implementations described above, can besaid that
the implementation is not just the activities, butan activity that is
planned and carried out seriouslyby reference certain norms to achieve
the objectives of the activity. Therefore implementations do not stand
alone but is influenced by the next object.
2. Picture Media
Picture is a visual media that produced from photograph. It is
everything that formed visually into two dimensions as the outflow of
various think (Asnawir, 2002: 47). Picture is one of the media used to
create the game. Students can gather pictures about a variety of
subjects and give reports to the class. Help the pupils know how and
what to look for in a picture. A file of meaningful pictures should be
kept.
3. Improve
Improve is become or make better (Oxford Dictionary, 2003:
216). Some theories give the definition about improve as the activities
to raise more desirable or more excellent quality or condition or to
increase the productivity or value of land and property.
9
4. Writing Skill
The term of skill is defined as ability. Concisely, writing ability
is the skill to express idea, though, and feeling to other in writing
symbol to make other people or readers understand the idea conveyed.
Writing is a clearly systemof human intercomunication by
means of conventional visible marks, but it is evident from what has
been sain that what the primitives understood as writing is not the
same thing as what we do (Gelb, 1962:12).
5. Descriptive Text
Descriptive Text is a kind of text with a purpose to give
information. The context of this kind of text is the description of
particular thing, animal, person, or others, for instanceour pets or a
person we know well. It differs from report which describes things,
animals, persons, or others in general. The Social Function of
descriptive text is to describe a particular person, place, or thing.
(Depdiknas, 2004: 4)

CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Picture Media
1. The Definition of Picture Media
Picture is one of learning that can be used to explain the subject
matter. Picture is a flat visual representation of an object, person or
view and its main purpose is to draw attention to or emphasize a
certain think (Sharon, 1977: 78).
According to Asnawir (2002: 47), picture is a visual media that
produced from photograph. It is everything that formed visually into
two dimensions as the outflow of various think. Picture is one of the
media used to create the game.
Picture used almost for all levels of learning or intelligence. The
use of picture as a media or means of delivery of the lesson, not only
interesting but also can bind to the attention and clarify ideas or
information presented to the students of a teacher (Asnawir, 2002: 54).
2. Guidelines for Using Picture Media
Students can gather pictures about a variety of subjects and give
reports to the class. Help the pupils know how and what to look for in
a picture. A file of meaningful pictures should be kept.
Mounting, filing and careful storage is important if the file is to
be useful. Use fewer pictures rather than too many so they do not lose
12
their impact. Try to have a picture large enough for the entire class to
see rather than having to pass a small picture from person to person.
Select pictures appropriate for the age viewing them. Pictures can also
be purchased commercially for class use (Sharon, 1977: 78-79).
3. The Roles of Pictures Media
According to Andrew Wright (1989, 10) there are several roles
of picture media:

attention and want to take a part.

used. They bring the world into the classroom.

18
B. Writing Performance in Descriptive Text
1. The Definition of Writing
As Hornby states in Oxford Advance Learner‟s Dictionary,
Writing is the activity to make letters or number on a surface,
especially using pen or pencil. Generally, writing can be interpreted as
the act of forming or tracing a character on paper or other suitable
materials with a pen or pencil.
According to Gelb (1962: 12) Writing is a clearly system of
human intercommunication by means of conventional visible marks,
but it is evident from what has been saint that what the primitives
understood as writing is not the same thing as what we do.
From definitions above, it can be said that writing can be
distinguished from other skills as the most difficult one. There are
many factors influencing writing to be a good one such as
grammatical, vocabularies, punctuation, and spelling knowledge which
must be integrated to be a paragraph.
From the ideas previously, the writer conclude that writing is
more than a medium communication. It is a way of remembering and a
way of thinking. Because of that, writing is not easy. It needs a hard
work. In writing we have to produce words, phrase, sentences, and
paragraph at the same time. It is a way of learning. None of us can
19
write much of interest without first thinking, probing, observing,
asking question, experimenting, and reading.
2. Components of Good Writing
Some elements in good writing are content, form, grammar,
style and mechanic (Haris, 2001: 306). A good writing must express
good characteristics as follow:
a. Content: writing must convey the main idea or an attentive reader
should be able to grasp the writer purpose. The substances of the
writing; the idea expressed (Haris, 1969: 68).
b. Form: writing should contain logical or associative connection and
transition which clearly express the relationship of the idea
described. The organization of the content (Haris, 1969: 38).
c. Grammar: writing should adhere to the rules of grammar related to
the tenses with the sequence of time, the employment of
grammatical forms and syntactic pattern (Haris, 1969: 69).
d. Style: writing should engage its reader through original insight and
precise. Haris (1969: 69) say that style: the choice of structures and
lexical items to give a particular tone or flavor to the writing.
e. Mechanic: writing must use good spelling, punctuation, and tidy
and clean writing (Haris, 1969: 69).
3. The Types of Writing
20
Based on the competencies standard and basic competencies
recommended by the government, there are some types of writing
which have to be taught in senior high school, they are; procedure,
descriptive, recount, narrative, exposition, anecdote, news item, and
discussion.
a. Procedure
According to Mark Anderson (1998: 28) a procedure is a piece
of text that tells the reader or listener how to do something. Its
purpose is to provide instruction for making something, doing
something or getting somewhere. Example of procedure texts
include: recipes, itineraries, instruction manuals, directions.
1) Features of Procedure
a) Constructing of Procedure
procedure text usually has three sections. There is an
introductory statement or title that gives the aim or goal of
the procedure, followed by a list of materials that will be
needed to complete the procedure. The final section is a
sequence of steps, in the order they need to be completed,
to achieve this goal.
b) Grammatical feature of a procedure
- Sentences that begin with verbs and are started as
commands.
21
- Time words or numbers that show the order for carrying
out the procedure.
- Adverb to describe how the action should be performed.
- Precise terms and technical language.
2) Modals of Procedure
Table 2.1
Table of Procedure “Anzac biscuits”
You will need:
- 2 cups of rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups caster sugar
- 4 tablespoons golden syrup
- 2 tablespoon boiling water
- 1 cup plain flour
- 250 grams butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

a pan.
- Mix baking soda and boiling
water in a cup.
- Add this mixture to melted
butter and golden syrup.
- Add this to the oats mixture in
the large bowl, mix together well.
- Rolls tablespoonfuls of the
mixture into balls. Put on tray 5
cm apart.
- Press lightly on top of each with
a fork.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
b. Descriptive
Descriptive presents the appearance of things that occupy
space, whether they are object, people, buildings, or cities. The
purpose of descriptive is to convey to the reader what something
looks like. It attempts to gain a picture with words. The
22
explanation about this term will be presented in the next session
(Elizabet, 1998: 148).
c. Recount
According to Mark Anderson and Kathy Anderson (1998:
48-49) recount is a piece of text that retells past events, usually in
the order which they happened. The aim of a recount is to give the
audience a description of what occurred and when it occurred.
Some example of recount text types are; newspaper, reports,
conversation, speeches, television interviews.
1) Feature in Recount
a) A first paragraph that gives background information about
who, what, where, and when called an orientation.
b) A series of paragraphs that retell the events in the order in
which they happened called events.
c) A concluding paragraph is called re-orientation, but it is not
necessary.
2) Language Feature in Recount
a) Proper noun and pronouns to identify those involved in the
text.
b) Action verb
23
c) Descriptive word to give details about who, what, what,
when, where, and how.
d) The use of the past tense to retell the events.
e) Conjunction and time connectives.
f) Adverb and adverbial phrase.
g) Words that show the order the events.
d. Narrative
According to Mark and Kathy (1998: 3) a narrative is most
generally described as a story told by the narrator. Narratives are
not as simple as that. They are construction of certain
characteristics that relate a tale through an organization of words.
The narrative text is type of written text that tells a story of
one character or more who face certain situation. Its purpose is to
present a view of the world that entertains or informs the reader or
listener. It is related to the recount type.
1) The Narrative Scaffold
a) Orientation
b) Complication
c) Sequence of Events
d) Resolution
e) Coda
2) Language Feature in Narrative
a) Noun
24
b) Adjective formed noun phrase; long black hair, two red
apples.
c) Time connectives; then, before, soon.
d) Adverb and adverbial phrase; here, in the mountain.
e) Action verb in past tense; stayed, dimed.
f) Saying verb and thinking verb; said, told, felt.
e. Anecdote
Anecdote is a story about funny or silly events that have
occurred in order to invite readers to share your emotions with the
reader. Because it is ridiculous, basically has a funny character.
(Pardiyono, 2008:104)
f. News Item
News item is a type of writing that has the main function or
communication purpose is to inform readers or listener about
events of the day that are considered newsworthy or important
(Pardiyono,2008:246).
g. Exposition
Exposition is a method that explain or clarifies some one
purpose by presenting examples. Exposition is the common
method of development whether of his evokes specific sensory
detail. For a description or complies pertinent evidence foe an
argument, he argument, he must provide example to illustrate the
purpose. (Pardiyono, 2008:86).
25
h. Discussion
Discussion is the type of writing that used to inform the
ideas or opinion of the writer. Through this discussion text, the
writer offer ideas neutrally and impartial to anyone but the side
with the accuracy of insight or idea itself (Pardiyono, 2008:185)
4. The Writing Process
Writing is a process that involves several steps. At least, there
are three steps in the writing process mentioned by Karen Blanchard,
and Christine Root (2003: 41) in their book, Ready to Write: A first
Composition Text.
If the writers follow the steps, and practice by writing often,
they will find it easier to write paragraphs and to improve their writing.
a. Pre-writing
Pre-writing is the thinking, talking, reading, and writing we
do about our topic before we write a first draft. Pre-writing is a
way of warming up our brain before we write, just as we warm up
our body before we exercise. On the other hand said that pre-
writing is any activity in the classroom that encourages students to
write. (Karen and Christine, 2003: 41)
There are several ways to warm up before start writing:
1) Brainstorming
26
Brainstorming is a quick way to generate a lot of ideas on a
subject. The purpose is to make a list of as many ideas as
possible without worrying about how you will use them.
To brainstorm, follow these steps:
a) Begin with a broad topic.
b) Write down as many ideas about the topic as you can in
five minutes.
c) Add more items to your list by answering the questions
what, how, when, where, why, and who.
d) Group similar items on the list together.
e) Cross out items that do not belong.
2) Clustering
Clustering is another prewriting technique. It is a visual
way of showing how your ideas are connected using circles and
lines. When you cluster, you draw a diagram of your ideas.
b. Writing
After we have spent some time thinking about our topic and
doing the necessary prewriting, we are ready for the next step in
the writing process: writing our paragraph. When we write the first
draft of our paragraph, use the ideas we generated from prewriting
as a guide.
As you write, remember to:
1) Begin with a topic sentence that states the main idea.
27
2) Include several sentences that support the main idea.
3) Stick to the topic.
4) Arrange the sentences so that the order of ideas makes sense
(Karen and Christine, 2003: 43).
c. Revising
It is almost impossible to write a perfect paragraph on the
first try. The first try is called the first draft. After you complete the
first draft, you must look for ways to improve it. This step is called
revising. When students revise, they review their text on the basis
of the feedback given in the previous stage. They reexamine what
was written to see how effectively they have communicated their
meanings to the reader (Karen and Christine, 2003: 44).
5. The Importance of Writing
According to Ramelan (1992: 10), writing is another means of
communicating ideas, which is more prevailing and more often used in
daily life. Written texts are more exposed as found in newspapers,
magazines or letters.19 So that the researcher can conclude that writing
is very important as one medium of communication. The importance
of writing can be seen in daily life and also in social life, like in
education and business aspect.
Writing, as one of the language skills, has given an important
contribution to human work. It is not only records spoken language,
28
but it also be used to preserve ideas of great thinkers in the past. There
are so many records of recent activities that people can read today,
which can also be read in the future. Writing can also be used to
convey massages over long distance.
From the statements above, the researcher can conclude that
writing is very important as one media of communication that can help
people to have a good socialization, can express idea, feeling, and
opinion so that they can have a good interaction with their society, for
example when they write letter, application letter or business
transaction.
6. Teaching Writing in Descriptive text
As one of the four language skills, writing like the other skills, is
taught in schools and is considered as the most difficult skill to be
mastered in learning English. In the realization, therefore, teaching
writing is not so easy as just asking students to write something. To
result a good product of writing, teaching writing needs to be oriented
not only to the product, but also to the process of writing. Harmer
(2004:5-6) explains that writing is a recursive process. It means that in
the process of planning, drafting, revising and editing, we will often re-
plan, re-draft and re-edit before we get the product of writing. It deals
with Meyer‟s opinion (2005:2-3) that:
Any good paragraph or essay goes through many stages before it
is finished. First you may simply explore ideas as you put them
29
in to word, lists or chard. At this point, you should not worry
about grammar and exact word choice. Afterward, you can write
a first draft. Then you can examine your ideas, rearrange them,
add to them, and probably rewrite the draft. Perhaps, you will
revise your ideas and wording in several drafts until you are
confident that your audience will understand and care about you
have to say.
From the explanation above, teachers need to insert classroom
activities which give opportunities for students to learn specific writing
skills, notably the skills of planning, drafting, revising and editing, in
teaching writing. Certainly, it includes the process of re-plan, re-draft
and re-edit. The expectation is that students will be able to produce the
final products of writing which are appropriate to the purpose of
writing itself.
7. Strategy to Learn Writing
According to Lewin (2003) in the following there are some
techniques to write ideas:
a. If you have found the main idea, write it on the paper first. Exactly
in the beginning paragraph.
b. Write down any idea which thought in the marrow. Don‟t worry
about organization of idea. In this step we only require to write
relevant arguments or ideas which appropriate with main sentence.
30
c. If you have done, don‟t forget to reread what you produced. This
aim is to know if there are the incoherence sentences, inappropriate
vocabularies or to ascertain there are no jumping sentences.
d. Mark the wrong sentence; in order to you will not forget to
rearrange the sentences.
e. If you have rearranged the sentence you can write down the first
paragraph and the other paragraphs according to sequence you
make.
8. The Indicators of Students’ Writing Performance
A performance indicator indicates what concrete actions the
student should be able to perform as a result of participation in the
program (Rogers, 2010: 5). In the writing performance the indicator is
used to knowing the students outcome in their learning. Performance
indicator should be developing which identify the focus on instruction
and the level which students should demonstrate their writing
performance. There are some indicators the students writing
performance, they are:
a. Students consistently use the rules of standard English convention
in their writing (application level).
b. Students able in choosing appropriate words choices (evaluation
level).
c. Students can apply the writing process to compose text (application
level)
31
d. Students should use the logical organizational pattern in their
writing (application level).
9. The Definition of Descriptive text
Descriptive Text is a kind of text with a purpose to give
information. The context of this kind of text is the description of
particular thing, animal, person, or others, for instance: our pets or a
person we know well. It differs from Report which describes things,
animals, persons, or others in general. The Social Function of
descriptive text is to describe a particular person, place, or thing
(Depdiknas, 2004: 4).
Descriptive text is a part of factual genres. Its social function is
to describe a particular person, place or thing. Description in writing is
the process of creating visual images and sensory impression through
words. More often, description is a part of another piece of writing and
is used to inform an audience about how something or someone looked
or to persuade an audience to see something from the writer‟s point of
view (Dumais, 1988)
Descriptive paragraph is a set of a sentences related to each
other in which the writers draw their ideas and thoughts clearly based
on their senses on the object they see (Purnomo, 2014: 13)
10. The Purpose of Descriptive text
As social beings, we want to share our experience, so we write
to others to describe things such as vacations, childhood homes, and
32
people we encounter. We even use description to persuade others to
think or act in particular ways: advertisers describe products to
persuade us to buy them; travel agents describe locales to entice us to
visit them; and real estate agents describe properties to stimulate a
desire to see them. As the examples in the following chart show,
description enables us to entertain, express feelings, relate experience,
inform, and persuade.
Table 2.2
Table of Purposes for Descriptive Text
Purpose Description
To entertain An amusing description of a
teenager‟s bedroom
To express feelings A description of your favorite
outdoor retreat so your reader
understand why you enjoy it so
much
To relate experience A description of your
childhood
home to convey a sense of the
poverty you grew up in
To inform (for a
reader unfamiliar
with the subject)
A description of a newborn calf
for a reader who has never seen
one
To inform (to create a
fresh appreciation for
the familiar)
A description of an apple to
help the reader rediscover the
joys of this simple fruit
To persuade (to
convince the reader
A description of a degrading
music Video
33
that some music
videos degrade
woman)
11. The Generic Structure of Descriptive Text
The generic structure of descriptive text consists of:
a. Identification: is the part of paragraph that introduces the character.
b. Description: is the part of paragraph that describes the character.
(Purnomo, 2014: 13)
12. Kinds of Descriptive text
As we know that descriptive text is a text to describe something,
such as persons, places, or things. So, it normally takes on three forms,
they are:
a. Description of a people
People are different, and writing description of people is
different. You are probably already aware of some of the
complications because you have often been asked, “What‟s so-and-
like?” In replying, you might resort to identification, an
impression, or a character sketch, depending on the situation. Let‟s
examine each (Michael and Jean, 1976: 149)
b. Description of a place
34
In describing a place for example a room, what should you
describe first? The walls? The Floor? Unlike a chronologically
developed paragraph, there is no set pattern for arranging sentences
in descriptive paragraph. It is not necessary to begin with one area
and then proceed to another one. Nevertheless, the sentences
should not be randomly arranged.
The description must be organized so that the reader can vividly
imagine the scene being described. To make the paragraph more
interesting, you can add a controlling idea that states an attitude or
impression about the place being described. And the arrangement
of the details in your description depend on your subject and
Purpose (Regina and Mary, 1976: 69)
c. Description of a thing
According to Santi (2002: 267) to describe a thing the writer
must have a good imagination about that thing that will be
describe. Besides, to make our subjects as interesting and as vivid
to our readers as they are to us using proper nouns and effective
verbs.
1) Using proper noun
In addition to filling our descriptive writing with concrete
details and figures of speech, we might also want to include a
number of proper nouns, which, as we know, are the names of
particular persons, places, and things.
35
For example; Arizona, University of Tennessee. Including
proper nouns that readers recognize easily can make what we
are describing more familiar to them.
2) Using effective verb
We know how important verbs are to narration, but
effective verbs can also add much to a piece of description.
Writers use verbs to make descriptions more specific, accurate,
and interesting. For instance, “the wind had chiseled deep
grooves into the sides of the cliffs” is more specific than “the
wind had made deep grooves.” The verb chiseled also gives the
reader a more accurate picture of the wind‟s action than made
does.
13. Language Feature of Descriptive Text
According to Purnomo (2014: 13-14), language feature of
descriptive text consists of:
a. Using adjectives and compound adjectives.
Examples : A five hundred seated football stadium
b. Using Linking Verb/Relating Verb
Examples: The temple consists of five terraces.
c. Using Simple Present Tense
Example: the hotel provides 450 rooms and a large swimming pool
d. Using degree of comparison
Example: Bogor has the same weather as Ungaran.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
A. Research Method
1. Setting of the Research
This research was carried out at MTs Aswaja Tengaran. It is
located at Dusun Krajan RT 01 RW 02 or in Jalan Masjid Besar No. 32
Tengaran. This research started on January till February 2016. The
research was applied for the students of the second grade of MTs
Aswaja Tengaran. The place was chosen in consideration the students
had English ability, but most of them had difficulties in writing
because; a) they had a limited vocabulary in English, b) they had a
problem to express their ideas directly, so they were difficult to write,
c) they were confused in grammar, so felt difficult in writing using the
proper rules.
2. Subject of the Research
The subject of this research is the students of eight grade especially in
class A of MTs Aswaja Tengaran in the academic year 2015/2016. The
researcher chooses the eight grade students because the age level of
these students supposed to be able to write out the English language as
a means of communication. The researcher chooses this school
because she was ever there as a practice teacher. Many students have
interest to learn English better, but they got difficulty to understand the
38
materials and to write descriptive text in English. Therefore, the
researcher uses her media to solve the problem in class.

3. Method of the Research
The method to be used in making this research is Classroom
Action Research. Action research is trying out an idea in practice with
a view to improve or change something, try to have a real effect on the
situation (Kemmis: 1983 in Hopkins, 1993: 45). Classroom action
40
research is research organized by teacher in the class on the pressing of
completing or improvement process and learning practice.
Action research might be defined as the study of a social situation
with a view to improving the quality of action within it. It aims to feed
practical judgment in concrete situation, and the validity of the theories
or hypotheses it generates depends not so much on scientific tests or
truth, as on their usefulness in helping people to act more intelligently
and skillfully. In action research theories are not validated
independently and then applied to practice. They are validated through
practice, as quoted by Elliot (1991: 69) in Hopkins (1993: 45).
According to Arikunto (2006: 2), classroom action research is
coming from three words they are:
a. Research is in activity to find out accuracy some subject using
methodology which interest and important for the writer.
b. Action is some activities deliberately done by having several
aims.
c. Class is a group of students in the same time, have same
lesson from teacher.
According to Kunandar (2010: 45), there are three elements or
concepts of action research, they are: a) research is an activity to
observe the definite object through scientific methodology by
collecting data and analyzing to finish the problem. b) action is an
activity that does intentionally with certain purpose in the form of
41
cycle to increase quality of teaching learning process. c) class is a
group of students who get similar lesson from teacher in the same
time.
According to Arikunto (2009:6-9) there are some principles of
action research as follows:
a. The real activities in routine situation
b. The awareness for recondition work ability
c. SWOT as research foundation
SWOT is summary of Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and
Threat. Strength and weakness are used to identify researcher and
it is subject. The opportunity and threat are identified out of the
teacher or researcher and students.
d. Empiric and systematic endeavor
e. Using SMART principle in planning
The meaning of SMART is:
S = Specific
M = Manageable
A = Acceptable or Achievable
R = Realistic
T = Time-bound
From the definition above, the writer conclude that classroom
action research is research which is done by the teacher in teaching
42
learning process to understand the situation and to improve the skill of
the students in learning process.
The classroom action research conducted in MTs Aswaja
Tengaran which aims to the implementation of using picture media to
improve students‟ writing performance in descriptive text.
4. Procedure of the Research
According to Kemmis and McTaggart (1988) in Hopkins (2011:
92) there are four steps to do a Classroom Action Research (CAR).
Those were planning, action, observation, and reflection.
a. Planning
The activities in the planning session would be present below:
1) Preparing materials: making and designing the steps in doing
action.
2) Preparing list of the students‟ name and scoring.
3) Preparing teaching aids.
4) Preparing sheets for classroom observation (to know the
situation of teaching and learning process when the method,
technique or strategy is applied).
5) Preparing a test (to know whether the students‟ writing
performance improve or not).
b. Action
In action activities, as an implementation of the planning, the
researcher presents them in the following:
43
1) Giving pre-test
2) Explain the materials
3) Giving post-test
4) Giving occasion to the students to ask any difficulties or
problem.
c. Observation
Observation is one of the instruments in collecting data. As a
scientific method, observation could be systematically used to
observe and note the phenomena investigated like the students
felling, thinking, and something they do in teaching learning
process. So, the researcher was observed the students by analyzing
the results of field note which is made by the partner of researcher.
Moreover, the researcher was analyzed the result of pre-test and
post-test to know whether the students‟ vocabulary improves or
not.
d. Reflection
Based on the result of the observation, the researcher makes an
evaluation to the students during teaching learning process. It is
important action if the researcher finds the problem of the students
in first cycle. The researcher will do better in the next cycle like the
first cycle.
The model, which is used in implementation of this research, is
as follows:
44

(1993:48)
5. Technique of Collecting Data
a. Test
According to Madsen (1983: 9), test of language sub skill
measure the separate components of English, such as vocabulary,
grammar, and pronunciation. But communications skill test show
how well students can use the language in actually exchanging
ideas and information.
Test is used by the writer to examine the result of the subjects
by using questions or other instruments which measure the
students‟ result of the lesson that is researched. In this research, the
45
writer will use two times. It contains of pre-test and post-test in
each cycle.
To get the writing score, the writer used the table of scoring
writing.

b. Observation
Observation is the process of observe toward the subject of
observation by using all of sense (Suharsimi: 2002). Observation is
a way of gathering information about teaching, rather than a way of
evaluating teaching. It involves visiting class to observe different
aspects of teaching (Richard and Lockhart: 1994).
c. Documentation

activity to look for variable like notes, transcribes, books,
newspapers, magazines, etc. In this method, researcher holds a
check- list to look for the variable that had been decided.

6. Technique of Data Analysis
According to Hadi (1981: 246) the formula is:
a. Mean
Mean is formula to know the average of the students‟ score.
The formula is:
: Mean of students‟ score
: The sum score of students‟ writing test
: The total number of students
b. SD (Standard Deviation)
SD : Deviation Standart
: Difference between pre-test post-test
: Number of observation in T-test
c. T-test
To be able to know whether there is a significant improvement
or not between pre-test and post-test, researcher using t-test after
calculate the SD. The formula is:

CHAPTER IV
RESULT AND FINDINGS
In this chapter, the writer analyzed the data gathered from the action
research activities. The data was obtained from the teaching learning process and
evaluation. The aim of the analysis is to measure the improvement of fifteen
students‟ writing performance by the use of a picture of descriptive text. In the
research the data consist of 2 picture in descriptive text.
A. The Implementation of Classroom Action Research (CAR)
1. Cycle 1
In this part, the writer carried out series of action namely planning
the action and implementing the action which included two meetings.
a. Planning
The first activity in this research is planning. Planning phase of
using picture in writing performance in descriptive text was carried
out on November 23th
, 2015. It was done for two periods, each
periods was 40 minutes in the classroom.
Before conducting the research, the researcher prepared the
instruments of research, such as:
1) Making lesson plan (RPP), and designing the steps in doing
action using RPP,
2) List of students‟ name,
3) Preparing sheet for classroom observation,
4) Teaching aid (e.g. blank paper, camera),
57
5) Test Instrument ( pre-test and post-test),
6) Preparing Materials
b. The Implementation of Action
Action was the implementation of the activities that had
arranged before.
The first meeting was conducted on Monday, November 23th
,
2015. Maylia Suryani as a teacher (the writer) and the English
teacher Mr. Hafidz Zaen. The teacher (the writer) entered A class of
the eighth grade of MTs Aswaja Tengaran and greeted students‟,
introduced myself, than he checked attendance. The number in
attendance at the time 15 students‟, consisting 7 girls and 8 boys
students‟ attended to the class. It was the first meeting in cycle I.
There were three steps which were done to build the students‟
knowledge. There were pre activities, main activities, and post
activities. In the pre activities the teacher greeted the students‟, pray,
checked the students‟ attendance, explained the goals and benefits of
the lesson, and explained the activities that were going to do by the
students. In those pre activities students‟ give attention to the
explanation.
In this phase, the teacher conveyed the learning objectives,
and then teacher are did apperception of writing by giving students‟
question about their experience of writing. Some students‟ like to
read the story but did not like to writing a story because it was
58
difficult. Then the teacher asked again, why they had difficulty in
writing story. Some student responded that the most difficulty thing
in writing was to find ideas to make the story. There were also
difficulties in developing an idea.
After those the teacher gave pre-test to the students. When the
students‟ were doing the test, the teacher walked around the class to
check the students‟ task. After the students‟ finished the pre-test, she
collected the students‟ result and began to teach.
The next activity the teacher distributed a text to the students‟
about descriptive text with a familiar picture, it was cat and school.
All the students‟ paid attention and read the text by themselves.
After a few minutes, the teacher explained about descriptive text and
the generic structure of the text. There are some of students‟ who did
not know about the generic structure of descriptive text and then the
teacher explained more about the generic structure.
After giving some explanations about descriptive text to the
students, the teacher continued the lesson by explaining language
features that uses in descriptive text such as: Specific participant,
simple present tense, action verbs, conjunction of time and cause-
effect. Furthermore, the teacher asked the students to underline the
words that indicating the language features of the text. Then the
teacher explained the students how to make a descriptive text.
59
The second meeting of cycle I is implemented on Tuesday,
November 24th
, 2015. The first activity of the step was the teacher
explained about the social function, the generic structure and the
language feature of descriptive text. And then the teacher asked them
to determine the generic structure and language feature of the
example.
The teacher explained about the descriptive text clearly. She
made example from some picture like a familiar animals. After the
teacher finished to explain the material and the students understood
how to make an essay about descriptive text, the teacher asked the
students to describe an animal pet that given by the teacher. It was
also as the post-test in cycle 1.
c. Observation
In the first cycle, the researcher and her partner observed the
teaching process. By monitoring the students‟ activity and attention
during the action, we could see that most of the students are
enthusiastic in teaching learning process, but there were some
students who had a little difficulty to answer the question from the
teacher. Some students had difficulties to begin or to make the idea
because they had a limited vocabulary in English. The condition in
the classroom is so noisy but the researcher had handled it.
60
Furthermore, the researcher will analyze the students‟
improvement in learning writing by looking the result of pre test and
post test in cycle 1.

2. The calculation of mean and standard deviation
a) Mean of Pre-test 1
M =
M =
M = 56
b) Mean of Post-test 1
M =
M =
M = 72
Mean of pre-test = 56
Mean of post-test = 72
Mean of pre-test < than mean of post-test
There is an improvement of writing ability through
the use of picture media in writing descriptive text between
pre test 1 (before the action) and the post test 1 (after the
action).
c) Calculating of Standard Deviation
62
SD =
SD =
SD =
SD = 16,45
d) T-test calculation
T =
T =
T =
T =
T =
T = 2,52
T calculation is 2,52
T-table < t-calculation = 2,14 < 2,52
The calculation result of t-test = 2,52 and t-table with
DF= N-1, DF=14, level of signification 5% in t-table = 2,14.
The result of t-test is 2,52 > 2,14. So, t-test calculating is
greater than t-table.
Based on the result, it means that there is a significant
difference between pre test and post test.
63
The improvement is also can be calculated in
percentage by calculating students‟ pre-test and post-test
score. The calculation can be shown below:
P= x 100%
P= x 100%
P= x 100%
P= 14,84 %
The calculation which shows the class percentage of
students who pass the KKM (the minimum of passing criteria)
is:
P= x 100%
P= x 100%
P= 80%
It means there are 80% of students‟ who pass the
standardized score (the minimum of passing criteria). Only 12
students who pass the KKM. It indicates that the successful of
cycle I should be improved. Finally, the researcher will take the
second cycle so that 85% students are able to pass the KKM.

d. Reflection
Based on the result of cycle 1, the researcher found the
improvement after applying picture as a media in teaching
learning. The first was the improvement of writing descriptive text.
65
It happened in the process of writing, especially in writing
descriptive text by used a picture. The second, the improvement of
students‟ participation could be seen in during of process teaching
and learning in the classroom.
Based on the observation, there‟s improvement on students
writing score, but it still did not pass the passing grade of 65. So,
researcher conducted the cycle 2. In next cycle 2, the researcher
emphasized the grammar, generic structure and language feature
more deeply.
The weaknesses found in cycle I, they are some of students
were still passive in shearing ideas in the learning process, they
were confuse to make a paragraph, the students relied on the
dictionary too much and some of the students still hesitated on
exploring their idea.
2. Cycle II
Based on the result of cycle I, it is necessary for the researcher to
continue the next level:
a. Planning
In cycle 2 the teacher would only emphasize the generic
structure, language feature and grammar more deeply to solve the
weaknesses occurred in cycle I, in cycle 2 the teacher would stimulate
students to be more active in exploring their idea.
66
The researcher prepared the instruments of research, such as:
1) Making lesson plan (RPP), and designing the steps in doing action
using RPP,
2) List of students‟ name,
3) Preparing sheet for classroom observation,
4) Teaching aid (e.g. blank paper, camera),
5) Test Instrument ( pre-test and post-test),
6) Preparing Materials
b. Action
The first meeting in cycle 2 was conducted on Monday,
November 30th
2015. The steps were still the same with the cycle I.
There were pre activities, main activities, and post activities. In the
pre activities the teacher greeted the students‟, pray, checked the
students‟ attendance, reviewed the previous lesson, and explained the
activities that were going to do by the students‟.
The next activity the teacher distributed a text to the students‟
about descriptive text especially about place with a familiar picture, it
was like a mosque and school. All the students‟ paid attention and
read the text by themselves. After a few minutes, the teacher
explained about descriptive text again and the generic structure of the
text. There are some of students‟ who did not know about generic
structure of descriptive text and then the teacher explained more about
the generic structure.
67
After giving some explanations about descriptive text to the
students‟, the teacher continued the lesson by explaining language
features that uses in descriptive text such as; specific participant,
simple present tense, action verbs, conjunction of time, and cause
effect. Furthermore, the teacher asked the students to underline the
words that indicating the language feature of the text. Then the teacher
explained the students how to make a descriptive text.
At every meeting the teacher discusses descriptive text theme
picture pets or place they have visited. Through of explanation or a
picture of animals that they understand, they will be easier to
understand what the descriptive text and a detailed explanation of the
object is described. The description of the text they will also
understood what is the generic structure and the language feature.
The second meeting of cycle 2 is implemented, the teacher
began the class with the same activities. On Tuesday, December 01,
2015. The teacher gave the students motivation by gave them
brainstorm and brain gym activities to make their brain balance and
ready to study.
She continued the lesson with the same material but different
theme. Before learning process began, the teacher made asking to
students about a favorite place. Every student had different a favorite
place. In this time was used by teacher to give pre-test before the
teacher started the lesson. After pre-test, she began to teach.
68
The teacher gave explanation clearly to the students. Before
the teacher gave post-test, she showed the favorite place again to make
the students remember it. After the students understood how to make
an essay about descriptive text, the teacher asked the students to
describe a place that given by the teacher. It was also as the post-test
in cycle 2. During the students did their work, the teacher walked
around the class to know if there were students who still had
difficulties and guidance them to compose text well.
c. Observation
In the second cycle, such as in the first cycle, the researcher get
field note from the partner which has been written in above. By
monitoring the student‟s activity in the action, the teacher can see that
the students could understand the descriptive text using popular
picture, it show with some of students have no difficulty in
understanding the text that has been learned.

In the second cycle, the result shows that the students‟ writing
ability increase significantly. The calculation result of t-test = 11,39
and t-table with Df = N-1, Df = 14, level of signification 5% in t-
table = 2,14. The result of t-test is 11,39 > 2, 14. So, arithmetical t-
test was greater than t-table. Based on the result, it means that there
is a significant difference between pre test and post pest in cycle 2.
71
From analysis above, the researcher concluded that score mean
of pre-test and post-test was a significantly difference, by which
post-test (73) was greater than pre-test (45,33). It shows that using
picture media gave improvement to the students‟ writing ability
especially in writing descriptive text.
The improvement is also can be calculated in percentage by
calculating students‟ pre-test and post-test score. The calculation
can be shown below:
P= x 100%
P= x 100%
P= x 100%
P= 23,39 %
The calculation which shows the class percentage of students
who pass the KKM (the minimum of passing criteria) is:
P= x 100%
P= x 100%
P= 93,33%
It means that 93,33% students pass the KKM. There are 14
students who pass the KKM. Meanwhile, 1 students do not pass the
KKM. It concludes that the improvement of students‟ writing
performance in descriptive text is good enough.

d. Reflection
After analyzing the result of cycle 1 and 2, it can be concluded
that using picture as learning media could improve students to active
in learning writing in the classroom. They could practice language
optimally especially in writing descriptive text and express their idea
through writing directly, even though there were many limited
vocabularies and error grammatical. But now, they could express their
idea, increased their vocabulary and wrote their idea directly.
B. Discussions
From the result of analyzing in cycle I and cycle II. There is
significant improvement on the students‟ writing ability. That will be
explained in the table below:

Table 4.6
The Students’ Mean Score in Percentage

There are 93,33% who pass KKM (the minimum of passing criteria)
and 6,67% students who not pass on it. The score of pre test cycle II is
45,33 which is less than pre test of cycle I, i.e 56. Meanwhile, the score of
post test cycle II is 73 which is higher than post test cycle I, i.e 72. In
addition, the students look more confident and have a good idea to write
English in the class.
Based on the field note and short interview conducted when the
media was applied, the researcher analyzed that there were many
improvement in many aspect, they are the improvement of students
mastery of writing descriptive text using picture media, other improvement
was grammar and vocabulary.
Based on the result among T-test of cycle 1 and cycle 2, the
implementation of picture media on writing performance is successful to
improve students‟ writing ability especially in descriptive text. It can be
seen from the table, that shows that T-test of cycle 1 is 2.52 and cycle 2 is
11,39.
75
In addition, the mean of pre test and post test of each cycle increases
significantly. The table above displays that the mean of cycle 1 improves;
the mean of pre test is 56 and the mean of post test is 72. In cycle 2, the
mean of pre test and post test also increase. In cycle 2, the mean of pre test
is 45,33 and post test 73.
The implementation of using picture media can improve the students
understanding in learning writing descriptive text. The improvement can
be examined from the results of the students answers tests in the pre-test
and post-test. Before the strategy was implemented, the students
encountered many difficulties in understanding of descriptive text and
have difficulties on express their ideas. They could not tell the generic
structure of the text correctly and confused to determine the language
feature of the text. Trained with using picture media helped the students to
understand descriptive text that was comprehensible.
From the finding research above, it can be seen that the using of
picture media can improve the students understanding in learning
descriptive text. Because the function of picture media itself is to give a
certain illustration in the whole and details, so the students were helped in
learning writing descriptive text. By the other word, this research proves
that the students understanding can be improved through using picture
media in learning.
Briefly, the writing achievement in the research class has proven that a
picture can be good media in developing writing descriptive text. In addition,

suggest as follows:
1. For the English Teacher
a) Writing mostly known as difficult subject. English teacher
should be able to develop their technique to teach the students in
79
order to make them interest in learning the subject. The use of
picture in teaching and learning process is interesting media
because it can attract students‟ interest and motivation in
teaching and learning process.
b) The use of picture media will influence the students‟ attention to
learn. They will pay more attention to the fact that students are
encouraged to improve the teaching learning process.
2. For the Students‟
a) The students have to give more attention, keep their attitudes
when the teacher explained the lesson and teach them. In
addition, students have to study English harder to reduce their
difficulties of English learning.
b) To improve writing ability, students have to develop their
knowledge and do many exercises in order to get a better
achievement in producing written text.
3. For the Other Researcher
It has been known that the using of picture media can
improve students writing performance, so that the other researchers
or the readers could use the picture media when they are want to
develop their writing ability. They should read this research clearly,
so they can understand how to practice picture media to improve
their writing ability especially in writing descriptive text.
