<![CDATA[This study intended to examine the use of caricature to improve students’ descriptive text writing by a quantitative approach of pretest-posttest group design. Fulya Yegen's (2013) study revealed that the caricature can facilitate the students in learning English since it can help the students understand or access the concept information about the subjects. It is obvious that caricature can be one of alternative media used by the teacher in teaching English particularly teaching writing in EFL class. It is supported by Smaldino et.al. (2007) who believed students can use caricature for attaining detail information and as useful resources for learning the subject. The researcher used caricature picture test as the instrument. The result showed that the mean score of the pretest was 50.25; meanwhile, the posttest was 79.03. It meant that there was an improvement on students’ ability in writing descriptive text after caricature was used. Therefore, it is essential for English teachers to give and provide the effective media that help the students elaborate and construct the idea for improving writing skill such as caricature.]]>
