The sample of this research was twenty-seven students of the XI.11 class at SMAN 7 Bandar Lampung. This research used quantitative research with one group pre-test and post-test design and the data was analyzed by using a paired sample t-test. The result showed a significant improvement in students’ writing between the pre-test and the post-test after the students were taught by using a blog in writing explanation text. The average score of the post-test (78.57) was higher than the pre-test (67.81). By using a t-test, it was found that the t-value (61.935) was higher than the t-table (1.7056).
