Data collection methods used are learning outcomes tests and documentation. The data analysis technique used is the first by using a descriptive statistical approach and linear regression. The results showed that 1) The mastery of sentence structure was based on the results of the categorization of mastery of sentence structure in students, it was found that they were still in the category of scores of 14-20, scores of 26-30, and at scores of 14-20 whose mastery of sentence structure had not increased like the others. While in the posttest, 14 people were found to be moderate and there was 1 person whose mastery of sentence structure got better who was in the high category. 2) The results of data analysis obtained a probability value (p-value) of 0.042. Because the probability value (p-value) is less than 0.050, it means that the regression model in this study can be said that X (mastery of sentence structure) is dependent on Y (ability to write expository essays).
