Detail Cantuman

The aim of this research is to determine whether or not there is a significant effect
in the use of photograph media on improving the writing skills of VIII grade
students of SMP Putra Negara Jakarta Barat. Studies on the use of English learning
media in the form of Photography have found significant results in improving
students' writing skills. This study uses quantitative methods using quasiexperimental research with non-equivalent control group design. The samples used
in this study were 29 students in the experimental class and 29 students in the
control class. The data was collected by conducting pre-test and post-test. Data
analysis using the Independent-Sample T-test showed that the value of Asymp.Sig
(2-tailed) was 0.428 > 0.05. It can be concluded that the working hypothesis (Ha)
is rejected, while the null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted. This means that the use of
Photographs and conventional has no effect on students' writing skills, but based on
the mean and total, it shows that the use of Photographs is greater than the
conventional method.
