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, Mind Mapping technique is used to teach them in developing their writing skill. This research has a purpose to find out the answer from the statement of the problem. The purpose is to find out whether or not there is any significant difference between the achievement of writing descriptive text of the eleventh grade students of SMK Taman Siswa Kudus in the academic year of 2012/2013 before and after being taught by using Mind Mapping Technique. 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 with one group. The numbers of the population that is used in this research is 76 students from 165 students coming from fourdepartment, those are Accounting, Secretary, Marketing and Multimedia, but the researcher only use 2 classes to be his population (XI Secretary 1 and XI Secretary 2), because these classes has a same English material background. The sample is taken one class from the population by using cluster random sampling. And the writer got XI Secretary II as a sample. The data were taken from the written test. After the students were given the pretest, they were given the treatment for five 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 achievement of writing descriptive text of the eleventh grade students of SMK Taman Siswa Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 before and after being taught by using Mind Mapping technique. The result of the research, the mean of pretest 53.13 and the mean of posttest is 73.97. It can be concluded that t-observation 5.49 in the level of significance α 0.05 and the degree of freedom (df) 33 which is gained from N-1, the t-table is 2.04. Thus, Ho is denied and Ha is confirmed. So, the hypothesis states, “there is a significant difference between the achievement of writing descriptive text of the eleventh grade students of SMK Taman Siswa Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 before and after being taught by using Mind Mapping technique †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 eleventh grade students, and also as a consideration for the teacher to choose Mind Mapping technique as an alternative to help the students to generate and expand the idea and make the students write descriptive text easily. The students can use the Mind Mapping technique to make their writing better.
