Abstract

This research was aimed to investigate how significant the implementation of POEW model improved the studentsâ€™ writing ability. It was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with two pretest-posttest group design. It was implemented to the third semester students of English department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Parepare in academic year 2016/2017. At first, the researcher implemented POEW model to treat the students in teaching writing. After that, they were tested to find out their ability after being treated through POEW model. Data were analyzed quantitatively using 21.0 version of SPSS program.The result indicated that the students who were treated through POEW model have significant improvement in their writing ability than the students who were not. It is found that the significant value (0.000) was lower than the probability value (0.05). This means that there was a significant difference between the studentsâ€™ writing ability before and after being taught through POEW model where the studentsâ€™ writing ability improved significantly in posttest (after being taught through POEW model). The mean score of posttest of the students in experimental class (72.40) was higher than the students in control class (62.46) which indicated that the students ability in the experimental class was better than the students in control class. The students ability in experimental class was improved from 61.24 to 72.40 while in control class only from 61.36 to 62.46. Besides that, the standar deviation in experimental class (7.832) was also lower than in control class (8.364) which indicated that the students ability in experimental class was slightly similar to control classÂ

Summary

INTRODUCTION

This research was based on writing problem of the third semester students in English department, Universitas Muhammadiyah Parepare. 36) states that “it is important, considering that writing with concerning about certain types of text or genre oriented writing emphasizes the social aspect of language use” It means that the writer expects the product of writing can be read by public and can give useful information. Johnson adds that real writers edit their writing at the end and rely on editors, spell check, and grammar check He says that teaching students to approximate the writing process used by real writers means teach them to become authors and composers of authentic writing. It is to set up peer editing groups and to teach students how to use the grammar and spelling functions on a word processor. He says that publishing can involve putting together class books, collections of writing, school or class newspapers, school or class magazines, or displaying short samples of writing in the hall or out in the community
