Abstract

This study aims to improve students' writing skills by using the Audio-Lingual Method on Semester Six students of the English Department of HKBP Nommensen University Medan. The main problem identified was the students' low writing ability, characterized by incorrect grammar, limited vocabulary, and poor sentence structure. To overcome these problems, this study used the Audio-Lingual Method approach which emphasizes repetition and intensive practice in listening before writing. This research uses the Classroom Action Research method by conducting tests to see the improvement of students' skills. The data collection technique in this research is by collecting results from Observation, Interview, Questionnaire, Documentation, Test and Evaluation, Statistical Analysis, and data analysis techniques conducting Observation, Interview, Documentation, Test, and Statistical Analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in students' writing skills after the application of the Audio-Lingual Method. Students showed improvement in the use of correct grammar, richer vocabulary, and better sentence structure. Audio Lingual is effective in improving student's writing skills and can be adopted as one of the methods of teaching writing in higher education.

Abstract

A Thesis The ability to use correct grammar in narrative writing is essential for students to express ideas clearly. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze errors in the use of action verbs based on the surface strategy taxonomy proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen. This research used descriptive qualitative design. The subjects of this study were fourteen eleventh-grade students of SMKS Immanuel Medan, and the instruments were students’ narrative writing tests and interviews. The data analysis followed Ellis’s theory of error analysis which includes identifying, describing, explaining, and evaluating. The findings showed that there were three types of errors, namely 226 (96.58%) misformation errors, 7 (2.99%) addition errors, and 1 (0.43%) misordering error, while no omission errors were found. Based on these results, it can be concluded that misformation was the most dominant type of error made by students in using action verbs. It is suggested that teachers provide more explicit instruction and practice in verb usage, while future researchers may use this study as a reference for further analysis in different text types.
