Abstract


Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana rangkaian gambar paling baik diimplementasikan dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan tulisan siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris dan untuk menggambarkan masalah yang dihadapi selama proses pembelajaran menggunakan seri gambar di kelas. Data dikumpulkan dengan mengamati proses belajar mengajar selama pelaksanaan tindakan, mewawancarai siswa dan guru bahasa Inggris dan dan melakukan diskusi dengan guru bahasa Inggris sebagai kolaborator. Hasil dari dua siklus menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan seri gambar efektif untuk meningkatkan proses belajar mengajar dan kemampuan siswa untuk menulis teks naratif. Serial gambar sangat berguna dalam mengarahkan siswa untuk menulis di organisasi yang benar, menghasilkan ide-ide siswa dan memperkaya kosa kata siswa.

This research is aimed to describe how picture series are best implemented in the English teaching and learning process to enhance students’ writing in learning English and to describe the problems encountered during the process of learning using picture series in the class. The data were collected by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the action, interviewing the students and the English teacher and and conducting discussions with the English teacher as collaborator. The result of the two cycles showed that the use of picture series was effective to improve the teaching learning process and the students’ ability to write narrative texts.
