The sample consisted of 40 students chosen from two classes by using purposive sampling technique then were divided into two groups, namely experimental and control group. The difference between experimental and control class was based on the teaching technique used during the treatment. While the experimental class was taught by using systemic approach, control class was taught by using the conventional method.The instruments of this research were adjective tests. The data was analyzed by using statistical analysis on SPSS for Windows 20.0 program. As per data, experimental group experienced improvement on their understanding on adjectives in terms of use, usage, meaning, spelling, pronunciation, synonym, antonym, collocation, and order indicated by the post-test mean score (77.1) which was significantly higher than that of the control class (59.7) and the gain of experimental group (31.2) which was higher than control group (17.4). Another supporting indicator is the t-test value which was higher than the t-table value (4.022 > 1.75). Furthermore, the researcher found that the element of adjective which experienced most significant increase on its mastery happened on the usage, while the lowest one was the collocation. The result of this research indicated that there was significant improvement between experimental and control class. It means that systemic approach that was applied in experimental group can improve the students’ mastery on adjectives material.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate whether the application of the Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy could enhance the writing ability of second-year students at MAN Polman. This research employed a quasi-experimental design. The population consisted of second-year students at MAN Polman in the academic year 2012/2013. A sample of 40 students was selected from two classes using a cluster random sampling technique, and was then divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The primary difference between the two groups lay in the teaching techniques used during the treatment. While the experimental group was taught using the TTW strategy, the control group received instruction through conventional methods. The instrument used in this study was a narrative writing test. Based on the data collected, the results showed that the post-test scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. This was demonstrated by the mean post-test score of the experimental group (77.85), which was higher than that of the control group (51.65). Moreover, the t-test value (3.58) exceeded the critical value of the t-table (2.042), indicating a statistically significant difference.
