Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana meningkatkan keterampilan menulis siswa dalam menulis teks deskriptif di kelas X SMA Islam Sultan Agung 1 Semarang melalui penggunaan gambar berseri. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahun ajaran 2023/2024 dengan subjek Bangunan Bersejarah/Tempat Wisata. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) sebagai pendekatan terstruktur dan kooperatif yang bertujuan untuk mengatasi tantangan di kelas, dengan penekanan khusus pada mendorong refleksi guru untuk mendapatkan wawasan tentang budaya belajar siswa. Tujuannya adalah untuk menentukan apakah teknik gambar berseri memiliki pengaruh positif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menulis teks deskriptif di kelas X-7. Lembar observasi dan hasil pre-test, post-test I, dan post-test II yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan gambar berseri secara signifikan meningkatkan kemampuan menulis bahasa Inggris siswa, khususnya dalam konteks teks deskriptif. Peningkatan yang terlihat antara post-test pertama dan kedua menunjukkan bahwa teknik pengajaran dan intervensi yang digunakan selama periode ini efektif. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat untuk memperkaya penelitian dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Menengah Atas, khususnya dalam keterampilan menulis deskriptif.
