ABSTRACT Febriyani Andri Pai, NIM 2201140125, 2026. Thesis titled “The Effect of the Dictation Method on the Ability to Write Simple Sentences Among First-Grade Class 1B Students at UPTD SD Negeri Oebobo 2.” Supervised by Markus Sampe, S.Pd., M.M and Rista Apriliya Devi, M.Pd. This study was motivated by the low ability of Grade 1B students at UPTD SD Negeri Oebobo 2 in writing simple sentences, indicated by spelling errors, letter reversals, and difficulties in arranging words into sentences. The study aimed to determine the effect of the dictation method on students’ simple sentence writing ability. A quantitative approach with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design was employed. The sample consisted of 18 students. Data were collected through observation, tests, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis included validity and reliability tests, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and hypothesis testing using the Paired Sample t-Test with SPSS version 27. The results showed that the instrument was valid and reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.710. The normality test indicated that all data were normally distributed. Hypothesis testing showed that the simple sentence structure variable (Y1) had a significance value of 0.215 (>0.05), indicating no significant effect. In contrast, the accuracy variable (Y2) obtained a significance value of 0.048 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect. Therefore, the dictation method was more effective in improving students’ accuracy in writing simple sentences than in developing sentence structure skills.
