Abstrak

This research is held because of a problem i.e. the writing ability of the Eighth Grade students of SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 is unsatisfactory and under the criteria of minimum score. Writing is very important skill in English and it is considered as the most sophisticated skill rather than the three other skills of language. Nevertheless, the students do not have adequate abilty to produce English text. Besides, teaching technique can also influence, if the teacher does not use a good and appropriate technique or method in their learning process. Hence, I offer to use Cluster Diagramming to overcome the problems. Clustering helps the writer or learners to start the writing activity from the new expectation words and develop them in a bubbles or circles form. The objective of this research is to find out whether or not there is a significant difference between writing ability of the eighth grade students of SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 before and after being taught by using Cluster Diagramming method. The design of the research is experimental. It can be concluded that this research collect quantitative data and uses statistical formula to measure whether or not there is a significant difference between writing ability of the eighth grade students of SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2012/2012 before and after being taught by using Cluster Diagramming method. Meanwhile, the experiment research uses one group pre-test and post-test design. The result shows that In the level of significance 0.05 and degree of freedom 24, there is a significant difference between writing ability of the eighth grade students of SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2012/2012 before and after being taught by using Cluster Diagramming method because (to 11.67 > tt 2.07) and the t-observation falls in the critical region. The mean of Writing score of the Eighth Grade students of SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 after being taught by using Cluster Diagramming is higher than the mean of the Writing score of the Eighth Grade students of SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus in academic year 2013/2014 before being taught by Cluster Diagramming (mean after treatment 73.56> mean before treatment 60.78) Finally, I address my suggestion to the teacher and next researchers. For the teacher: I suggest the teacher to use Cluster Diagramming to teach writing since it has been proved that it is effective to improve students’ ability to develop and manage their ideas into composition. Also, I suggest the teacher to always guide the students who have lower writing ability to create their diagram and help them to develop ideas. For the next researchers: They should develop and experiment for the upper level with some improvement so that the formula can be applied in different learning level in the accordance with the learning needs especially the educational system in Indonesia.
