abstract: Writing is one of the language skill which expresses ideas, feelings, and thought
arranged in words, sentences and paragraph. Based on the researcher’s
experiences when doing PPL, although the students have been given a topic to
write, they cannot automatically start their writing assignment. The problems
always arise because the teachers have no specific technique to guide the students
in developing their ideas and put them in written form. Finding the fact above, the
researcher seeks to find a way on how to make students enjoy writing classes and
assignment. The researcher applied word cluster to develop their descriptive text
writing ability because it can help them generalize the ideas to be put in their
paragraph writing.
The objective of this research was to find out whether there is improvement of
students’ descriptive text writing ability in the second year students after being
taught through word cluster. This research was conducted based on experimental
method. It applied one group pre test post test design because there was only one
class in this research and the class was chosen by using purposive sampling. The
data were in the form of score which was taken from pre-test and post-test and
analyzed by using t-test.
By comparing the result of pre-test and post-test, it can be found that there is an
increase of the students ability in writing descriptive text. The total score of pretest was 2006.50 and the total score of post-test was 2431.50. It meant that the
total score of pre-test to post-test had increased 425 points. The aspect with the
highest increase was content (4.14). The second was grammar (2.66) then
vocabulary (2.31), organization (1.99), and mechanic (1.39). The result of the
computation shows that the value of two tailed significance is 0.00. It means that
H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected since 0.00 < 0.05. It proves that the treatments
which was given by the researcher had better effect to the students’ achievement
in writing descriptive text. In conclusion, the hypothesis was accepted.
