The Post-test Only Control Group Design was used as the research design. The population for this study was seventh grade students in SMP Negeri 1 Mengwi. One intact group cluster random sampling technique was used in selecting the sample for the study. There were two groups of sample for this study, namely experimental group which was taught by using Movie Clips and control group which was not taught by using Movie Clips. The data for this study were gathered through the post-test which conducted after those two groups were given different treatment for nine meetings. After that, the research data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The result of descriptive statistical analysis showed that the experimental group had better performance in writing where the experimental group’s mean score was 79.26 while the control group’s mean score was 76.02. Furthermore, based on the hypothesis testing in inferential statistical analysis, it was found that the t observed of 2.032 (tobs) was higher than the t critical value of 1.996 (tcv) at standard alpha level (α = .05). It means the null hypothesis was rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
