It is because as social creatures, people absolutely need to communicate in their everyday life in order to socialize or to express their thought, feeling, understanding, opinion, critic, and everything that they want to share to others. English becomes language that should be learn by all students in Indonesia. It has four language skills to be mastered; listening, speaking, reading and writing. However, during the time, most of students have difficulties in mastering writing skill. Those difficulties come because the process of writing requires an entirely different set of competencies and is fundamentally different from speaking (Douglas & Heekyeong, 2015). Therefore, regarding to those difficulties, this research offered one of the language teaching techniques which hopefully can be applied as one of alternatives way in teaching to improve students’ writing skill especially in writing narrative text.
