<![CDATA[The objective of this research was to determine whether the use of the peer correction technique improved the writing ability of eleventh-grade students at SMK Negeri 2 Banawa. This research employed a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental group and a control group. The sample consisted of 48 students: 26 students from Class XI DKV as the experimental group and 22 students from Class XI PFI as the control group. The sample was selected using a cluster sampling technique. Data were collected through a writing test administered as a pre-test and post-test. The treatment was given only to the experimental group. The pre-test results showed that the experimental group's mean score was 29.80, while the control group's mean score was 40.80, indicating that the experimental group had lower initial writing ability. After the treatment, the post-test results showed that the experimental group's mean score increased to 75.13, whereas the control group's mean score reached 65.50. These findings indicated that the experimental group showed greater improvement in writing ability than the control group. Using 46 degrees of freedom (df) and a significance level of 0.05, the calculated t-value (3.76) was higher than the critical t-value (2.021).Therefore, the alternative hypothesis was accepted. In conclusion, the peer correction technique was effective in improving the writing ability of eleventh-grade students at SMK Negeri 2 Banawa.]]>
