students of the Social Science class and 22 students of the Language class with the
average level of ability. The data was gathered in the different time. The data was

Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD).
The result showed that the reading comprehension scores among the three
classes is different.
The result showed that the use of Writing Process and Cue Cards media
were effective to implement in teaching writing descriptive text. It showed that the
significant level of both pretest and posttest are .000, which mean it is smaller
than .05 (.000 ≤ .05). It means that there was enough evidence to reject the null
hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis is accepted which means there is a
significant difference between students’ pretest and posttest scores.
The research findings showed that using cue cards and writing process
approach were effective to implement in teaching writing skill, especially
descriptive text. The use of cue cards also motivates and encourages students to
write a text for the cards which were attractive. It contained a colorful picture and
some vocabulary that helped them to imagine what was the situation in the picture
so that the students were actively involved in learning and teaching process due to
the use of the media itself.

Kata Kunci: Writing Process, Cue Cards, Keterampilan Menulis

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui keefektifan pendekatan
Writing Process dengan menggunakan Cue Cards dalam pengajaran menulis teks
deskriptif siswa kelas tujuh.
Penelitian dilakukan di SMP Laboratorium Universitas Negeri Malang
pada bulan Januari 2018. Data kuantitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Metode
penelitiannya adalah desain pra eksperimental. Subjek yang digunakan dalam
penelitian ini adalah salah satu kelas di kelas tujuh yang terdiri dari 30 siswa
dengan tingkat kemampuan rata-rata. Data dikumpulkan dari nilai pretest dan
posttest. Selama tiga kali treatments, siswa diberikan beberapa tes menulis
deskriptif dengan menggunakan Cue Cards. Mereka juga diajar dengan
menggunakan pendekatan writing process. Data dianalisis dengan beberapa
langkah; memeriksa tulisan siswa dengan menggunakan rubrik penilaian,
menganalisis normalitas data menggunakan Shapiro-Wilk untuk memenuhi
asumsi statistik, menetapkan hipotesis statistik dengan menggunakan Uji beda dua
sampel berpasangan (Paired-Sample T-Test), dan menentukan bagaimana
hipotesis nol diterima atau ditolak. Data kuantitatif dianalisis dengan
membandingkan rata-rata nilai pretest dan posttest siswa.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan pendekatan Writing
Process dan media Cue Cards efektif untuk digunakan dalam pengajaran menulis
teks deskriptif. Ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat signifikan dari pretest dan posttest
adalah .000, yang berarti lebih kecil dari 0,05 (.000 ≤ 0,05). Hal tersebut berarti
adanya cukup bukti untuk menolak hipotesis nol sehingga hipotesis alternatif
diterima bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara skor pretest dan posttest
siswa. Singkatnya, hasil skor posttest siswa lebih tinggi dari skor pretest.
Hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan cue cards dan
pendekatan writing process efektif untuk dalam pengajaran keterampilan menulis,
khususnya teks deskriptif. Penggunaan cue cards juga dapat memotivasi dan
mendorong siswa untuk menulis teks untuk kartu yang menarik tersebut. Isi dari
kartu tersebut ialah gambar berwarna-warni dan beberapa kosakata yang dapat
membantu siswa untuk membayangkan situasi yang ada didalam gambar sehingga
para siswa secara aktif terlibat dalam proses belajar dan mengajar karena
penggunaan media itu sendiri.
