Lidya Utami
This research was intended to find whether teaching writing hortatory exposition
text through dictogloss technique could significantly increase students’ writing
ability or not. This research used quantitative method with pre test and post test.
Pre-experimental research design was used in this research. It was used to find out
whether there was an improving of using dictogloss technique in writing subject.
The data showed that there was an improvement in students’ writing ability after
having two times treatments through dictogloss technique. The T-test analysis was
applied on the data to see the significance of the improvement. It was gained that
the t-count value was analysis of t0 is 4.4. It can be said that (p= 0.00 < 0,005)
While the lowest pre test was 50.67 and the highest score was 76. The lowest post
test score was 66.67 and the highest was 80. It means that the null hypothesis (H 0)
is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Based on that T-test analysis,
the dictogloss technique is effective and applicable at class XI IPS 2 of SMA
Muhammadiyah 2 Bandar Lampung to increase the students writing ability of
hortatory exposition text.

I. INTRODUCTION
problem, objective of the problem, the use of the research, scope of the problems
One of standard competencies that should be achieved by the students are the
ability to communicate both in oral and written form by using appropriate, fluent,
exposition and hortatory exposition discourse. There are four skills in learning
language, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The ability of writing will help
them express their ideas, or share information through written language. Since
as means of ideas and emotional expression, because when they write ideas and
emotion creatively, they are communicating on paper in their very best way. The
work of writing is presented in the form of texts, usually known as genres, which
Genre can be defined both in terms of the intended form and the intended function
of the writing. By form was meant such written products as letter, laboratory
problems in writing were lack of vocabulary and had weaknesses in grammar and
writing activity as it was rarely practiced in the class. For that reason, teacher
should use effective teaching technique that encourages students to get involved
actively in the class. The teaching learning process has to be involved not only
teacher and students, but also between the students? Students, in every level of
oriented curriculum (KTSP 2006) in English subject syllabus of the second year
students in senior high school should be able to write hortatory exposition text.
In fact, many students thought that writing hortatory exposition text was the most
difficult activity to do. Why? Because it deal with arguing on some issues

and took time to think what they want to write. By writing the researcher hope the
students would have a development in English and writing as their ability and will
help them to understand what people say in English written text in the future.
The researcher used a technique to develop the students’ writing skill. Based on
some previous research that had been done by other researcher, in order to
minimize the problem above, therefore there should be some suitable techniques
As the researcher’s experience when she did teaching practice, most of students
were afraid to write and could not write freely because they do not had enough
vocabulary. Whereas, they had knowledge about the news out there. Easily they
Hence, the researcher tells that writing is not as scary as the students ever
imagined. Language was not just sitting and keeping silent in the class. Writing is
an active activity; it can be done in any places. They could exchange their

SMA MUHAMMADIYAH 2 Bandar Lampung. The teacher said that the students
were seldom to write in English in the class. As foreign language students are in
the process of learning especially in writing, the students would try to convey the
reserving and processing information. Although they had given a topic to write,
they could not automatically begin to do their writing tasks. Even they write
several lines, they mostly find difficulties on how to continue their writing. As the
result, they tend to stop their writing. Furthermore, writing is almost neglected
rarely had learning activities about writing English. Another factor that influenced
the students’ writing ability is about the process. The teaching learning is related
to classroom activity. For example discussing what they have seen on TV, internet,
newspaper, etc. the students can share their thought and find the new words and
topics.
In identifying the problem the researcher made a little interview with the teacher
and the students. There were many factors that influence why the students’ writing
achievement was relatively low than another skills. Based on the research back

reading are social activities. Graham (2016:1) Says, improving students’ writing
skills helps them succeed inside and outside the classroom. Effective writing is a
communication tool for students to convey thoughts and opinions, describe ideas
and events, and analyze information. Indeed, writing is a life-long skill that plays
increasingly important role in how students learn and practice writing in and out
practices. Writing is an activity which expresses the message through a text that
can be read by the reader. It can be understand since studying languages tend to

A note to a cousin is not like a business report, which is different again from a

can also vary widely, from the quick email to a friend to the careful drafting and

c. Recommendation
A lot of people, especially teenagers, who do not smoke always, want to try smoking.
They know it is bad for them and all, but it is just something they want to try. So they ask
one of their smoker friends for a cigarette. Admittedly, they firstly cannot light it on their
own so they ask his friend to do it. Then they inhale that cigarette and smoke
occasionally.
ARGUMENT 1
Apparently that makes them the born smokers. Now they do smoke fairly regularly. They
cannot avoid smoking and they enjoy too. They have smoker friends. Every day they
bring a pack in their pocket. For them, a pack of cigarette is as important as a wallet for
their money.
ARGUMENT 2
Suddenly, for certain reason, they realize the fact that tobacco is the cause of a long list of
nasty diseases. It is not only heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease but also
bladder, lung, and pancreatic cancer. Even it was reported that around 400,000 Americans
died each year. It was one every 80 seconds from tobacco-related illnesses.
ARGUMENT 3
Then they decide it is stupid to harm selves. They want to quit smoking. Unfortunately, they
find that quitting smoking is so difficult. “Why can’t I stop smoking? I really want to
21
stop it”. It is hard to quit because nicotine is powerfully addictive. Cigarette is one of the
most efficient drug-delivery devices ever devised. As result, when people try to quit
smoking, they often experience classic nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety,
irritability, headache, depression, and restlessness.
RECOMMENDATION
Well, still want to try smoke? Think the facts before trying! If you are not smoker, you
should never and never try to smoke.

stages of the task were all important for language learning. They were: first, read
the dictogloss through once at a normal speed, asking students to listen carefully.
Second, read the dictogloss a second time, and encourage students to jot down
notes. Third, review difficult or possibly unknown vocabulary that appears in the
dictogloss. The last, create short passage that embeds a particular grammatical
form you wish to emphasize. It should be a form that the students know well but
Wajnryb (1990:18) explains that the foundation stone of dictogloss is the concept
of text: “Text provides the point of departure from which the procedure begins
(the dictation); it was the goal towards which the learners direct their energies (the
reconstruction); and it was the framework within which their efforts were
measured (the analysis).” It may be said, then, that the basic premise of the whole
procedure was the value placed on text as the semantic unit of language. This
means that textual considerations, such as textual cohesion, were brought into
(reconstruction). Wajnryb adds that there was the sense of the text as culture-
specific, in this case to English. What this means was that each text offers a

writer will use one group pretest-post test design. The students was be given the
pretest before the treatment and post test after the learning process.
The researcher used pre-experimental class by using one class which was taken
from the teacher’s suggestion and it was proper to the research design. Therefore,
this research used one group of pre-test and post-test design. The researcher gave a
pre-test before a treatment and post test after the treatment. The variables were

A test was considered valid if the test measure the object to be measured and
suitable with the criteria. According to the Hatch and Farhady (1982; 281) there
are two basic types of validity: content validity and construct validity of the test.
The writer adopts the test based on the students’ handbook and the curriculum
used to get the content validity of the test. Content validity was concerned
with the test which was sufficiently representative and comprehensive. In the
content validity and the material were given suitable related to the curriculum.
It meant that the materials were suitable to the students. Content validity was

The data from the writing test were arranged from the highest until the lowest one.
The data from the pre-test and posttest will be analyzed to find out whether the
result of the test similar or not. The researcher uses pretest-posttest design to

This chapter presents of the conclusion that the researcher does in her research.
The conclusion is based on the result implementation and the discussion of the
findings from the previous chapter. The recommendations offer some suggestions
for the teachers and further researcher who want to conduct further study
5.1 Conclusion
Based on the result of the data analysis, it can be concluded that dictogloss can be
students’ score of pretest and post test. The students of the school know how to
make a good writing and it is very useful for them when they write something.
Therefore they can make a hortatory exposition text better than before. Referring
to the discussion of the research findings on the previous chapter, the writer
supported by the significant result of the pre-test that is 61.23, than the
post-test is 71.96.

According to a small interview that the researcher did to the teacher; the teacher
rarely gave the writing activity when she teaches English in a class to the students.
5.2 Suggestion
After conducting this research, the researcher offers several recommendations for
the English teachers and other researchers. They are followed below:
