The Use of Visual Imagery Strategy to Improve The Students’ Writing Skill of Recount Text at The Tenth Grade of Senior High School

This research was aimed to determine the impact of using Visual Imagery strategy in enhancing the students' writing skill. The subjects of this research were the students of class X MA. Laboratory UIN SU Medan for the 2020/2021 academic year, which consists of 40 students. This research was conducted by doing a classroom action research using two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The data obtained through quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data were obtained from tests which included pre-test, post-test I, and post-test II. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were obtained from interviews and observation sheets. The results of the data analysis showed that there was an enhancement on the students' writing achievements from each cycle. The results can be seen from the mean score of students in the pre-test 50.85 increased to 69.4 in the post-test I and increased to 79.3 in the post-test II. In the pre-test, 10% (4 of 40 students) scored > 75. In the first post-test there were 55% (22 of 44 students) who scored > 75. In the second post-test, there were 90% (36 of 40 students) who get a value > 75. To verify the hypothesis using the t-test formula, the results of the t-test obtained t observation (8.60) > t table (1.684). Thus, the alternative hypothesis (Hα) can be accepted. Based on these findings, the alternative hypothesis (Hα) states that the use of visual imagery strategies can improve students' ability to write recount text.

THE INFLUENCE OF DIRECTED READING THINKING ACTIVITY (DRTA) TOWARDS STUDENTS’ READING ABILITY

The research aimed to know the influence of using DRTA Strategy towards students’ reading ability at MTs Nurul Iman Pesawaran. The research was conducted at the eighth grade of MTs Nurul Iman Pesawaran in academic year 2020/2021. The writer took two clasess in the eighth grade as the samples. The population was 40 students’ in 2 clasess. The sample was taken by using cluster random sampling technique. 20 students’ were as experimental class and 20 students’ were as control class. The main technique in measuring students’ reading comprehension was multiple choice test that consisted of 40 test items. The score for each item was 2,5 for true and 0 for wrong. In analyzing the data, the writer used t-test formula. Based on the data analysis, The result showed that t-test was 2.9. From the distribution table at the significance level of 5% is known that t-table = t (1- ½ α) (df) = 2.00 and at the significance level of 1% is known that t-table = t (1- ½ α) (df) = 2.37. It means t-test > t-table as in (2.9> 2.00 > 2.37). Based on the calculation, Ha was accepted, it means that there was an influence of using DRTA (Directed Reading Thinking Activity) strategy towards the students’ reading ability at the eighth grade of MTs Nurul Iman Pesawaran in 2020/2021. Then the average score of students reading ability who learnt through DRTA (Direct Reading Thinking Activity) was higher than those who learnt reading throurgh conventional technique. It was 70.1 > 65.6. Based on the result above, it is clear that DRTA (Directed Reading Thinking Activity) can increase students’ reading ability at the eighth grade of MTs Nurul Iman Pesawaran in 2020/2021.
