Abstract

Andriani, Dhea Viollita. 2024. An Analysis of the Tenth Grade Students’s Ability to Write Descriptive Text Based on Picture at SMAN 2 Sawahlunto Advisor: Drs. Khairul, M. Sc. The purpose of this research was to describe the tenth grade students’ ability in writing descriptive text based on picture at SMAN 2 Sawahlunto. The researcher used descriptive method for this research. The population of this research was the tenth grade students at SMAN 2 Sawahlunto. The researcher used cluster random sampling technique to select the sample, and the number of sample was 32 students. The instrument for collecting the data in this research was a writing test in the form of writing a descriptive text. To make the test reliable the researcher used inter-rater method. The result of analysis showed that the test was reliable. It was supported by the fact that the coefficient correlation was 0.86. The test was valid because it had covered the material that the students had learnt. Mostly, the students had low ability in writing descriptive text. It was supported by the data analysis that 7 students (21.87%) had high ability and 25 students (78.13%) had low ability in writing descriptive text based on picture. In organizing a descriptive text, 3 students (9.37%) had high ability and 29 students (90.63%) had low ability. In expressing content in writing a descriptive text based on picture, 9 students (28.125%) had high ability and 23 students (71.875%) had low ability. In applying grammar in writing a descriptive text based on picture, 10 students (31.25%) had high ability and 22 students (68.75%) had low ability. In using vocabulary in writing a descriptive text based on picture, 28 students (87.5%) had high ability and 4 students (12.5%) had low ability. In using mechanics in writing a decriptive text based on picture, 10 students (31.25%) had high ability and 22 students (68.75%) had low ability. Considering that the students had low ability in writing a descriptive text based on picture, the researcher gives some suggestions to English teachers, students, and future researchers. English teachers are suggested to explain more about how to organize a descriptive text, express the content, apply correct grammar, and apply correct mechanics in writing descriptive text. The students should study more about how to write a descriptive text and do more exercises to improve their ability in writing. The future researchers are suggested to use this research as reference, and find reasons why the students had low ability.
