Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in improving students’ ability to write narrative texts at Grade XII of SMA Negeri 1 Siantar. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles, each involving planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. The participants were 32 students of Class XII-Science 2 in the academic year 2024/2025. Data were collected through writing tests, observation sheets, and field notes. Quantitative data were obtained from pre-test and post-tests to measure students’ writing performance, while qualitative data were used to examine students’ participation, motivation, and classroom interaction during the implementation of CLT. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students’ narrative writing skills, particularly in content development, organization, vocabulary use, grammatical accuracy, and mechanics. In addition, students showed higher engagement, confidence, and collaboration during communicative writing activities such as group discussions, storytelling, and peer feedback. The results suggest that Communicative Language Teaching is an effective and meaningful approach for enhancing students’ narrative writing ability and creating a more interactive learning environment. Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers apply CLT-based strategies in writing instruction to improve students’ communicative competence and writing proficiency.

Abstract

This study explores the use of Google Docs as a collaborative tool to support the revision process in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) academic writing. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study involved six EFL university students enrolled in an academic writing course at a private university in Indonesia. Data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that Google Docs facilitated continuous and multi-stage revision through features such as commenting, suggestion mode, and real-time editing. Peer feedback played a central role in shaping students’ revisions, particularly in improving clarity, organization, and language accuracy. Students also perceived several benefits, including increased awareness of writing weaknesses, greater participation, and reduced anxiety during revision. However, challenges such as unclear feedback, unequal participation, and technical issues were also identified. The study concludes that Google Docs supports a process-oriented and interactive approach to revision and has the potential to enhance collaborative academic writing when accompanied by appropriate pedagogical guidance
