The use of a technique in the process of teaching writing as a complex skill has a
crucial role. This research, the integration of the two techniques; brain-writing and
small group discussion was applied in teaching writing descriptive text. The
objectives of the research were to find out (1) a significant difference of students?
writing ability before and after being taught by using the integration the two
techniques, (2) the aspect of writing which is affected the most by using the
integration of the two techniques, (3) the students? perception towards the
implementation of the integration of the two techniques. In the context of
methodology, the samples involved were 24 students in SMP Insan Mandiri
Bandar Lampung. The data were collected by using pre and post-test of writing
and perception questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using paired-sample t-
test. The results showed the students? writing achievement increased from 66.08
to 79.14. The p value is lower than 0.05, meaning that there is a significant
difference of students? writing ability between pretest and posttest. As for writing
aspects, the most affected one was content. The students? perception about the
implementation of technique showed a positive result. Thus, the integration of the
two techniques is effective to help students to generate and elaborate the ideas into
