Abstract:
As a foreign language, English is not easy language to be learn. English has
four important skills to be mastered. To master the four skills, we have to master
the writting as the basic. Teaching writing especially narrative text will be nice if
there is a good media used. Animation film is a media that may be appropriate to
be used as a media. Based on the statement above, the objective of this study is to
find out whether there is any effectiveness of using animation film in teaching
students writting in narrative text at the eighth grade of SMP N 33 Purworejo in
the accademic year 2012/2013.
The type of this research is experimental research. Then the technique
sampling is cluster random sampling . The number of the population in this
research is 229 students. The number of the sample is 66. The instrument that
used to collect the data is a test. The test is essay that consist of orientation,
complication, and resolution.
The result of the research found that the highest score from the whole score
both control and experimental group and both pre-test and post-test, is 90.The
highest score was gotten by the student in experimental group after they get the
treatment. While the lowest score was 50, that is gotten by the student in control
group. After doing the test, the mean scores were found that the mean score of
pre-test in experimental group is 63.09 and the mean score of post-test is 82.74
While the mean score of pre-test in control group is 58.63 and the mean score of
post-test is 74.66. Then, the computation of t-test shows that the Ha is accepted.
The value of t-test is 10.044. Then the t-table is 1.998. If the value of t-test is
higher than t-table, the alternative hypothesis can be stated that the use of
animation film as a media is effective to improve writing narrative text.
