The objectives of this study were: to find out the students’ achievement in using adjective, their ability in writing descriptive text, and whether there was any significant correlation between those two variables. The total number of sample was 24 students. The findings of this study showed that the students’ achievement in using adjective was categorized into good criteria. It could be seen from the result of the mean score of students’ achievement in using adjective, it was 76.96. For the students’ ability in writing descriptive text, the findings of the study showed that the result of the mean score was 76.75. Then, the findings for the correlation between students’ achievement in using adjective and students’ ability in writing descriptive text was 0.860 and the p-value (Sig. (2- tailed)) was 0.000. Meanwhile, the critical value in the table at significant (2- tailed) level 5% was 0.404. It meant that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. Therefore, there was a positive correlation between students’ achievement in using adjective and students’ ability in writing descriptive text.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to describe the implementation of Wholesome Scattering Game in improving students’ writing skills on descriptive text and to find out whether there is a significant difference between students who were taught by using Wholesome Scattering Game and the students who were not. This research used quantitative approach focusing on experimental research which was conducted at SMAN 2 Sungaiselan in academic year 2019/2020. The researcher used purposive sampling technique and two classes were taken as samples, with 69 students (35 students for the control group and 34 students for the experimental). The result of the test was analyzed by using statistical analysis of Paired sample t-test and Independent sample t-test. The finding showed that the students who were taught by using Wholesome Scattering Game got higher score than those who were taught by using non-Wholesome Scattering Game. It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, while the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. It could be concluded that there was a significant difference between students who were taught by using Wholesome Scattering Game and the students who were taught without using Wholesome Scattering Game.

The subject of this study were the students of eighth grade students of a state high school in Kelapa district, Bangka Belitung province. In this study, the researcher used quantitative approach with quasi-experimental design.the findings showed that the result of mean score of post-test in the experimental group was higher (71.11) than the mean score in control group (60.29). Meanwhile, the result of independent samples test of students’ post–test between experimental and control group, the t-otained in equal variances assumed was 3.40 and the significant (2- tailed) was.001. Since the t-obtained was higher than t-table ((3.40>2.05)) and the significant (2-tailed) was lower than computation with level significant (.001<0.05). It could be concluded that there was a significant difference between the samples significantly, and RCRR Strategy improved the students’ skill in reading comprehension of narrative text. Therefore, the result of this study is expected to contribute to the development of the process of English teaching and learning, epecially for teaching and learning reading comprehension.
