Studies on the use of English learning media in the form of Using Diary have found
positive results in improving students' writing skill. This study used quantitative
methods using quasi-experimental research with non-equivalent control group
design. The samples used in this study were 37 students in the experimental class
and 38 students in the control class. Data was collected by conducting pre-test and
post-test. In this research used non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon) because the data
were not normally distributed. Then the result of the hypothesis should be <0.05.
based on the result from the hypothesis were the data analysis showed that the value
of Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) was 0.000 <0.05. It can be concluded that the working
hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, while the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. This means
that the use of Using Diary had a significant effect on students' writing skill
compared to conventional teaching.
