The title of the final project is “The Use of Pictures as Media for Teaching Writing (A Case Study at the Eleventh Grade of SMA Negeri 3 Brebes)”. The aim of this study is to find out the difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control group. So, this is experimental research in which I studied two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was the XI IPA 3 class that was taught writing by using pictures and verbal guidance whereas the control group that was XI IPA 4 class that was taught writing without pictures as media. Those two groups belong to “SMA Negeri 3” Brebes.
I used a test to gather the data. The test was writing composition. The students were expected to make a descriptive composition. Besides I also gave the students the questionnaire to support the data I used the students’ result that was completed by the mean to know the difference between the two groups. The results showed the difference between the two groups that is 1.71. The analysis was done based on Product Moment formula to know whether the instruments were reliable or not.
Hopefully the results of the research can be used as consideration for teachers to make improvements and betterments of the teaching writing in that school.
The suggestion is that: the use of pictures can be done as one of the techniques to teach writing composition.
