%X The objectives of the research were to find out whether or not the students’  achievement of descriptive writing significantly improved after the students were  taught through the guiding questions technique. A quantitative approach was used  to examine students' achievement through a one-group pre-test and post-test design.  The research was conducted in the second semester of seventh grade in the  academic year of 2023/2024. There were 30 students participating as the sample of  the research. Writing tests in the form of essays were given to collect the data. The  results showed that there was a statistical improvement with a significant level of  0.05 between the pre-test and the post-test after the students were taught through  the guiding questions technique. This suggests that the guiding questions technique  facilitates students to improve their descriptive writing achievement, with the  organization being the aspect of writing that has the highest improvement.
