Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of personal photographs on students writing quantity of descriptive text. The population of this study was all the students of the second year of SMAN 8 Bengkulu in academic year 2006/2007 with the total number of 200 students. The sample of this research was taken by random sampling. By using the cluster-sampling technique, 80 students were taken as the samples. The samples divided into two groups, experimental and control group. The instrument employed in this study was writing tests. The pre-test was conducted before giving treatments in order to know the degree of relevance of both groups. In the pre-test analysis, it was found that the t-count < t-table (0,12 < 2,000) for the analysis amount of words and t-count < t-table (0,26 < 2,000) for the analysis amount of sentences. It means that there were no significant difference between the two groups scores. Therefore, the two groups can be accepted as the samples of this study. After giving some treatments to the experimental group, the post-test was held to the both groups. Based on the data analysis of the post-test, it was found that t-count > t-table (3,76 > 2,000) for the analysis amount of words and t-count > t-table (4,1 > 2,000) for the 2,000) for the analysis amount of words and t-count > t-table (4,1 > 2,000) for the analysis amount of sentences. This finding indicated that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control group scores. It means that students’ personal photographs had a significant effect on their writing quantity. In the other words, it could increase students’ writing quantity especially in descriptive text. Therefore, this technique can be applied by teacher as a teaching aid in descriptive text’s writing
