Abstract

The objective of this research is to describe whether or not using Realia is effective or not in teaching writing procedure text at the seventh grade of SMP N 33 Puworejo in the academic year 2015/2016. The researcher uses realia in teaching writing procedure text as a teaching media at the seventh grade of SMP N 33 Purworejo in the academic year of 2015/2016. The type of the research is quantitative research. In this research, the researcher takes 32 students from 128 students as population at the seventh grade of SMP N 33 Purworejo as the sample. Then, the researcher gives pre-test and post-test. The researcher teaches writing procedure text by using realia to the experimental class. The researcher then statistically analyze the data by using ztest separated variance bacause the data have abnormal distribution. After analyzing the data, the researcher concludes that using realia in teaching writing procedure text at the seventh grade students of SMP N 33 Purworejo in the academic year of 2015/2016 is effective. As the fact, the mean of the students’ writing procedure text ability in pre-test is 58.69 (sufficient) and the mean of the students’ writing ability in post-test is 79.91 (excellent). The result of z-value is 4.899. Based on the 0.05 significant level, the value of z-table is 1.96. The result of computation shows that z-value is higher than z-table, that is 4.899 > 1.96. Another fact shows that the media used is effective. Based on the result finding, the researcher concludes that using realia as a teaching media is effective in teaching writing procedure text at the seventh grade students of SMP N 33 Purworejo in the academic year of 2015/2016.
