Based on the results, the participants whose scores fell between 1 SD above and below the mean were chosen as the participants of the study and were then randomly assigned to one control and one experimental group. Those who were in the experimental group received productive strategies. The students in the control group were controlled by the traditional discipline strategy method. At the outset of the study, a pre-test was given to the participants to ensure that there were no significant difference between the experimental and control groups regarding the variable under investigation.  This study was carried out during a 40-hour course spread over 2 months. In addition, the participants were asked to fill a Second Language Anxiety Questionnaire (Howritzs, 1986) and also a 24-item questionnaire of classroom discipline (Lewis, 2001). At the end of term, all the participants were tested regarding their achievement in second language and reduction in their second language anxiety by a posttest similar to the pre-test.

Abstract

Today's senior high school pupils have difficulty learning to write. Students are expected to be able to express a variety of meanings (interpersonal, conceptual, textual) in interactional oral texts and monologue. Some researchers have demonstrated that using an effective strategy is one of the ways to solve problems; inquiry-based learning is one such strategy. This study aims to determine the significance of the effect of inquiry-based learning on students' narrative writing ability in tenth grade senior high school. Using a quasi-experimental design, thirty-one students in grade X-I and thirty-one students in grade X-II were studied. Using the purposive sample method, the experimental class X-I and the control class X-II were selected. The experimental class was taught using an inquiry-based learning strategy, while the control class was taught without such a strategy. In this investigation, essay tests were used for data collection. The examinations were administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the treatment. The result indicates that tobserve = 2,557, while ttable indicates 1,671 with df = 60 and a significance level of 0.05. Consequently, this Ha is approved while the H0 is rejected. In conclusion, inquiry-based learning is an effective strategy for the teaching and learning process because it allows students to engage in discussion to produce their finest writing product.Keywords: Inquiry-based learning, Narrative text, Teaching and learning Strategy, Writing skill
