Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether the use of the Word Wall game can improve students' writing skills in learning English at 7th State Junior High School in Padang. The population and sample of this research were 33 students of class VIII. The type of research was quantitative. The method used was a pre-experimental method design, with one group. The data collection technique used in this research was tests, including a pre-test and post-test. The results of the data showed that the average student score on the post- test was (82,5), higher than the average score on the pre- test (39,75). From the t-test, the study showed that the t- test value (29,14) is higher than the t-table (1,697) at a significance level of 0.05 with degrees of freedom (df) = 32. This result meant that there was a significant difference. This indicated that the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. Hence, it can be concluded that the use of Word Wall significantly improves students' writing skills.

Abstract

This pre-experimental study examined the effectiveness of the Teams Game Tournament (TGT) in enhancing the writing abilities of second-grade English learners at 7th State Junior High School in Padang. The research involved 33 students from class VIII.5, employing a one-group pre-test/post-test design to measure the impact of TGT implementation. Quantitative data analysis revealed a substantial increase in students' writing scores following the intervention. Specifically, the post-test average score (89.45) significantly surpassed the pre-test average (60.24). A t-test analysis yielded a t-value of 11.54, which exceeded the t-table value of 1.697 at a 0.05 significance level, with 32 degrees of freedom. This statistically significant difference confirmed the study's hypothesis, indicating that TGT effectively improved students' English writing skills. The findings suggest that TGT is a valuable pedagogical strategy for enhancing writing proficiency in English language learning.
