Abstract :
Writing is one of important skills which must be taught to senior high school students. However, many students have difficulties in writing. Students cannot write well because they have limited knowledge in English, grammar, and vocabulary. It makes them repeat the same mistakes in constructing a sentence and cannot express what they have in their mind. Therefore, the teacher should have alternative ways to teach in writing. One way to increase their creativity is invite the students to active in direct practice. To solve the students’ problem to share their idea on written, self-editing strategy is used to teach them in motivating their writing skill. This research has a purpose to find out the answer from the statement of the problem. The purpose as follows:1)to find out the ability of writing recount text of the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 before being taught by using self-editing strategy, 2)to find out the ability of writing recount text of the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 after being taught by using self-editing strategy, 3)to find out whether or not there is any significant difference between the ability of writing recount text of the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by using Self-Editing Strategy. This is quantitative research. The method of the research is experimental. This design of the research is the experimental method which uses pretest and posttest. The population is all the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012. The total number of population is 360 students. The sample is taken one class from the population by using cluster random sampling. The data were taken from the written test. After the students were given the pretest, they were given the treatment for four meeting. Giving of the treatment relies on the material that taken from the syllabus of the school. Then, the data were analyzed using the t-test method to find out whether or not there is any significant difference between the ability of writing recount text of the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by using self-editing strategy. The result of the research, the mean of pretest 62.95 and the mean of posttest is 70.85. It can be concluded that t-observation 10.26 in the level of significance α 0.05 and the degree of freedom (df) 39 which is gained from N-1, the t-table is 2.03. Thus, Ho is denied and Ha is confirmed. So, the hypothesis states, “there is any significant difference between the ability of writing recount text of the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Jekulo Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 before and after being taught by using self-editing strategy†is confirmed. I hope this study can be used by the teacher as one way to enrich the reference about improving the students’ writing skill in the tenth grade students, and also as a consideration for the teacher to choose self-editing strategy as an alternative to help and make the students write recount text easily. The students can use the self-editing strategy to make their writing better.
