TEACHING WRITTEN ANNOUNCEMENT THROUGH GALLERY WALK TECHNIQUE (An Experimental Study of Eighth Grade Students at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri,Kabupaten Kendal, in the Academic Year of 2013/2014)
ABSTRAK
This study was conducted due to the difficulties the students had in
writing English. According to the curriculum for junior high school,
announcement text was included in short functional text. For the eight
graders, announcement text was given in a form of writing competence.
The objective of this study was to find out whether there was
significant difference in the achievement of writing announcement text
between the eighth grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri in the
academic year of 2013/2014 who were taught by using Gallery Walk
technique and those who were taught by using conventional method. To
meet this objective, an experimental research design called
pretest-posttest control group design was applied. The research was
carried out at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Weleri. The subjects of the research
were two classes. The experimental group was the students of VIII-A
which consisted of 28 students and was taught by using Gallery Walk
technique. The control group was the students of VIII-B which consisted
of 28 students and was taught by using conventional method. The data of
the research were obtained from the writing test on pre-test and
post-test. Based on the pre-test analysis, the value of tvalue was 0.38,
while the value of ttable was 1.67. Since the value of tvalue was lower
than the ttable, it meant that there was no significant difference in
the students’ achievement of writing announcement text between
experimental and control groups on pre-test. Meanwhile, based on the
post-test analysis, the value of tvalue was 1.76. Compared with the
value of ttable, 1.67, the tvalue was higher than the ttable. It meant
that there was significant difference in the students’ achievement of
writing announcement text after the treatment was given where the
students’ achievement in experimental group was higher or better than
the control group. The result above indicates that the use of Gallery
Walk technique in teaching writing announcement text brought about
significant improvement. In addition, Gallery Walk technique also gave
some advantages in its application such as giving chance to move around
the classroom, directing students’ focus and interrupting the lethargy.
