Writing in junior high schools is one of the four English skills the students have to learn. Teaching writing English in Indonesian junior high schools is not an easy task. In academic purposes, the students require not only able to speak but also to write in English. To get excellent achievement in writing, they had to master the five aspects such as; content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Moreover, based on the observation at SMPN 1 Rawajitu Timur, the researcher found out that the students’ writing skill was still low, because of the lack of students’ competence in writing sentences especially in grammar and mechanic and the low used of visual sources. Therefore, this research was aimed to find out the significant improvement of students’ writing skill and the aspect of writing that improved the most after being taught by using Visual Thinking Strategy at the first grade of SMPN 1 Rawajitu Timur. This research was a quantitative which used one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this research were 30 students of class VII B at SMPN 1 Rawajitu Timur in the academic year 2017/2018. Furthermore, the writing test was used as the instrument in this research. Additionally, there were two raters to assess students’ writing achievement in order to fulfill the reliability of the test. With the regards to construct validity, the students’ writing achievement were measured in only five aspects of writing, they are: content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanic. Moreover, the materials given were suitable with the curriculum to fulfill the content validity of the test. Thus, the data were analyzed using repeated measure t-test in which the significance was determined by p<0.05. The result of the research showed that, the significant level is 0.002, lower than 0.05. The mean score of posttest (70.5) was higher than the pretest (56.7) and the gain was 13.8. It means that there was a significant improvement in the students’ writing achievement after being taught using Visual Thinking Strategy (VTS). Overall, regarding to the results above, it can be stated that VTS is effective to improve students’ writing skill in describing people. Keywords: VTS, writing, describing people.
