Abstract

This study was aimed at finding out whether there was significant difference in writing competency of eleventh grade students of SMA N 4 Singaraja between those who were taught using Genre-based Approach and those who were taught using Conventional Writing Strategy. The research was designed by using posttest only control group design. The population of this study was the students of class XI. There were two groups of samples in this research, which were selected by cluster random sampling. Class XI MIA 6 was assigned as the experimental group and treated by using Genre-Based Approach. Another class, XI MIA 5 was assigned as the control group and treated by using Conventional Writing Strategy. The treatments were conducted sixth times for each. At the end of the treatments period, the posttest was administrated. The result of posttest IS analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The result of this study showed that the experimental group performed better competency in writing rather than the control group. It was proven by the result of their posttest. The descriptive analysis shows that the mean score of experimental group 77.9 was higher than the control group 68.4. The inferential analysis also shows that t_o was 4.865. It was higher than the value t_cv at 1.99 (P = 0.05). It could also be seen that the significance value of the two tailed independent sample t-test (equal variance assumed) showed the value of 0.000 (less than 0.05). On the basic result of the study above, it can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) used in this study was approved. It means that there was a significant difference in writing competency of grade eighth students of SMA N 4 Singaraja between those who were taught using Genre-Based Approach and those who were taught using Conventional Writing Strategy.
