Learners should master writing skills as one of important language achievement,
however there are many learners who still face difficulty writing their ideas
appropriately. This research was aimed to investigate whether there is a
significant improvement of students? writing achievement in descriptive text and
to find out which aspect of writing improves the most after the students were
taught through picture series. The sample in this study was class 8C which
consisted of 28  students of SMPN 26 Bandar Lampung academic year
2021/2022. The researcher employed quantitative approach with pretest-posttest 
design which implemented writing tests as the instruments. Moreover, the
treatments were done by the researcher to deliver the teaching materials. The
collected data were analyzed by using Paired Sample T-Test. The mean of
students? score improves from 64.32 in the pre-test to 78.68 in the post-test with
the gain of 14.36. The result shows that there is a significant improvement on
students? writing after the implementation of picture series with a significant
value of 0.00 lower than 0.05. Pre test- post test also, the statistical calculation of
the students? score also shows that the t-value is higher than the t-table (11.470 {\ensuremath{>}}
2.0518). Therefore, it could be concluded that the H1 is accepted and the H0 is
rejected, which means that the use of picture series could assist students in
writing descriptive text. In addition, the aspect of writing that improves the most
is language use with the gain of the mean score at 4.3.
