Abstract

The objective of the study is to discover the effect of applying Discussion Strategy on students™ achievement in writing descriptive text. The study was conducted by using experimental research design. The samples were taken by using random technique through lottery and two out of 7 classes were taken into samples, X-1 as experimental group was taught Discussion Strategy and X-3 as control group was taught Conventional Strategy, each class has 30 students. The instrument for collecting the data was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. After analyzing the data, it was found that the value of t0 (3,561) with the degree of freedom (df)=58 at the level of significance p (0,05) = 2,004. It means that t0 was considerably higher than tt (3,561 > 2,004). The result showed that Discussion Strategy had a significant effect on students™ writing achievement. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
