<![CDATA[This study investigates the influence of Scrabble games on word formation in the writing ability of 11th-grade students at SMA PGRI Pekanbaru. The primary objective of this research is to determine whether the use of Scrabble as a learning tool can enhance students' ability to form words effectively and improve their overall writing skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two groups: an experimental group that utilized Scrabble games in their learning process and a control group that followed conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, focusing on students' word formation and writing performance. Based on research, it is observed that the average pre-test score in the experimental class was 62.17, while the average post test score was 72.00. In contrast, the average pre-test score in the control class was 62.88 with a post-test average of 67.96. This indicates an enhancement in the experimental class. The independent Sample T-test conducted using SPSS version 25 yielded a probability value or sig (2-tailed) of 0.043, which is less than 0.05. The results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group's ability to form words and construct coherent written texts compared to the control group. This suggests that Scrabble games can serve as an effective and engaging tool to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition and writing proficiency. The result of this study provides valuable insights for educators seeking innovative methods to improve writing ability in the classroom.]]>
