N2  - Referring to the preliminary test that was held at the first year of SMPN 1 Sukoharjo
Pringsewu, the researcher found that many students could not express their idea smoothly in
written form, although they had been given the topic to write. It seems that they had
difficulties to express their ideas and expand their story even though they knew what would
be written. In addition, the English teacher still taught writing in conventional way and
seldom used appropriate media and technique in teaching writing. The fact proves that
writing is still difficult for the students besides other skills.
The objectives of this research were to find out whether chain card game technique can be
used to increase writing ability at the first year of SMPN 1 Sukoharjo Pringsewu. The
subjects of the research were the students of class VII.C in the academic year 2011/2012.This
classroom action research was done in two cycles. Each cycles consisted of 1) plan, 2) action,
3) observation and interpretation, 4) analysis and reflection. In this research, the researcher
used indicator dealing with learning process and learning product.
The result of the research shows that:
In cycle I, the students? activities could not achieve the target, there were only 23 students
(57.5%) who did 70% of the activities in cycle 1. And also the students? score could not
achieve the target (there were only 17 students (42.5%) who scored 70 or higher that was
70% should gain seventy (70) from the students? writing result.
In cycle II, the teacher had known the students weaknesses and automatically he could give
solution in teaching learning process. Consequently, the result of learning process and
learning product could achieve the target in cycle II. Students? activities there were 36
students (90%) who did 70% of the activities; it means that the indicator has been achieved.
Meanwhile in learning product, there were 30 students (75%) scored 70 or higher.
Referring to the result of this research, it indicates that the use of chain card game technique
could increase student?s writing ability and also students? activities in teaching writing at
SMPN 1 Sukoharjo Pringsewu.
