ABSTRACT
Rifki Dwi Ananto Martono. X2210023, “IMPROVING STUDENTS‟ ABILITY IN
WRITING NARRATIVE TEXT THROUGH ANIMATION MOVIES (A
Classroom Action Research in the Eighth Grade Students of SMP Negeri 2 Klego in the
Academic Year of 2011/2012)”. A thesis. Surakarta:Teacher Training and Education
Faculty. Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta, 2012.
The objectives of the research are: (1) to identify whether or not animation
movies can improve the students‟ writing skill; and (2) to describe the class situation
when animation movies implemented.
The research was carried out at SMP Negeri 2 Klego. It was conducted from
April 2012 up to May 2012. The subject of the research was the students of class VIII D
of SMP Negeri 2 Klego in the academic year of 2011/2012. The research was conducted in
two cycles: four meetings in the first cycle and three meetings in the second cycle. It
was optimized the use of animation movies as the media for teaching writing.
There are two kinds of data: qualitative data and quantitative data. The
qualitative data are collected through observation, interview, and questionnaire. The
quantitative data are collected using test. The quantitative data are analyzed through
descriptive statistic technique including pretest, test in cycle 1, and post test.
The research findings show that the use of animation movies can improve
students‟ writing skill and class situation. The improvement of students‟ writing skill
includes: (1) the students organized their ideas coherently using appropriate generic
structure of narrative; (2) the students used more appropriate vocabularies; (3) the
students wrote their naratives in grammatically correct sentences; (4) the students used
spellings and punctuations correctly in their composition. The class situation also improves
which includes: (1) students were active and creative, they paid attention to the
teacher‟s explanation; (2) they did all exercises given by the teacher. In addition, the
students‟ mean score improved. It could be seen from their writing mean score of pre-test,
post test in cycle 1, and cycle 2, that is 68.91, 73.12, and 76.71 respectively the last mean
score is higher than KKM which is 74.00.
Finally, it could be concluded that the use of animation movies could improve the
students‟ writing skill and the class situation. Based on such findings as presented above,
the researcher expects that animation movies could be used in other writing classes.
Key words: writing comprehension, animation movies.
