INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Writing helps the students develop their vocabulary, grammar, and other
skills. Students with good writing skills can speak and read texts more effectively.
Students need to understand how to write to prepare before. With these benefits,
writing is very important for every student (huy, 2020). The styles of valid text are

twelfth-grade college students should master. The researcher also found that
The students face several problems in writing explanatory text. Can categorize the
issues into several criteria. Most students have problems with simple, compound,
complex, and tense choices. Demonstrate that explanatory texts can describe the
events associated with socio-cultural life. The purpose of this explanation text is
to explain how and why anything may occur. According to Anderson and
Anderson (1997: 82), the goal of the explanatory text is to explain how a natural

have enough ability to write. The student did not know about the process of
writing explanation text. The student did not understand the generic structure of
the explanation text. The student had no ideas regarding the ideas of something to
write down or what happened in their writing, especially about how to deliver it in
English. On the other hand, students have difficulty using the correct word in the
appropriate context.

become much more active in the process of writing, particularly when it comes to
Theoretically, the researcher will contribute her research result to the English
teacher and the students. The researcher also contributes her research result for
further research.
The researcher hopes the teacher will get more references about the student's
problem in writing explanatory text with collaborative strategies. The teacher can

According to the findings of the study, the collaborative writing strategy seems to
be more successful than the standard method in the classroom when it comes to
teaching literacy. When their writing abilities were evaluated using post-test

Conversely, Brown asserts that written goods are often the consequence of
writing. Firstly, as in writing, students frequently have more time to think than in
the oral activity. Secondly, they can go through what they know in their minds
and even consult dictionaries, grammar books, or other reference material to help
them. Thirdly, writing also encourages students to focus on proper language use.
Because they think as they write, it may well provoke language development as
they resolve problems that the writer puts into their minds. Another importance of

It's a good idea to do some brainstorming before you start writing. Using this
method, we jot down everything and everything that comes to mind or enters our
consciousness.
b. Clustering
Another method for tying concepts together is clustering. Circles and lines
intertwined with one another help us picture our thoughts. On a piece of paper, the
topic is centred, and the rest of the studies are organized around it in concentric
circles. You can see how it works by looking at these three phases:
1. On a sheet of paper, draw a circle around our subject and write it
in the middle.
2. Writing
The writing process is the next phase. The pre-writing process results in a
guide for us to write a paragraph due to brainstorming or clustering. The pre-
writing ideas we came up with will serve as a guide when we compose the first
draft of your section. Always start your writing with a subject sentence outlining
your significant points, and use numerous phrases to back up your claims. Stick to

of the article. For the other concepts to make sense, arrange the phrases in a way

that makes sense. To assist the reader see the connections between your thoughts,
use signal phrases.
3. Revising
After we've written a rough draft, the last stage is to revise it. The
document's substance may be obscure, ambiguous, or confusing. Therefore we
need to examine it. If our paragraph is to flow smoothly, we must tighten the
grammatical details. At the end of this process, we may either add a new phrase to
support the thoughts of others or remove ones that aren't important.
It is almost impossible to write a perfect paragraph on the first try, so it
needs to be revised. The steps are:
a. Add new ideas to support the topic.
b. Cross out sentences that do not support the topic
c. Change the order of the sentences.

When researchers are collecting data, one of the tools or facilities they employ to
make the process simpler and more accurate is called a research instrument. The
data for this research was collected by assessing several aspects of the exam. The
measuring device was used for both the preliminary examination (pre-test) and the
test to collect data were administered. Then, the researchers did an analysis of the
outcomes of these two actions, which may be broken down into the following
categories:
1. Pre-test
The pre-test test was renamed the first treatment. It is carried out by
control and experimental classes were given a pre-test before the treatment to
evaluate their writing abilities within the exposition textual material. This was
completed earlier than the therapy became administered. Students are given

Those are :
a. Planning
Planning is an essential step in the writing process. In the planning stage, the
writer must consider three main issues. First, the writers have to consider about:

purpose of writing, someone can decide the most appropriate language style.

document.
b. Drafting

thoughts and decide what should come first, second, third, and so on, until the
last. Drafting helps the writers to connect their ideas so that the concepts
In the editing process, the writers read again what they have written as a
draft. Another reader’s comment will help the author to make the correct
revision. Here, the writer may change what the writer has written if they find
wrong, the diction is not appropriate, the sentence is not coherent, etc. The
d. Final Version
The final version is the last step of writing. This may look different from
the first draft that has been made before due to many changes in the editing
process. However, the writer is ready to send the written text to the readers.
From the explanation above, we can conclude that there are four steps of

CHAPTER IV
This chapter is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the study
findings, and the second part delves into the research debates. The results of the
study include a summary of the outcomes of the tests that were conducted to
gather the data that will be described in the next section.
. The data of this research were obtained from pre-test and post-test data on
the collaborative writing method. The data obtained from data collection were
then analyzed using the normality test, homogeneity test, paired sample t-test,
and independent sample t-test. The data analysis was carried out using the help
of the Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 22 program. The
effectiveness of learning can be reached. There were 3 (three) main parts that
were fulfilled, including 1) planning, 2) implementation, and 3) evaluation. The
following is an explanation of each of these sections.
1. Planning
The planned learning process involves students and learning
devices preparing learning objectives, commonly known as Learning
Implementation Plans (RPP). According to the lesson plan, collaborative
writing learning is used so that students understand better and students can
exchange ideas with one another. At this planning stage, an evaluation of
the learning activities that were carried out at the meeting before this
research was conducted.
2. Implementation
The implementation of learning is carried out in classes KI 1,2,3, A, and
B; the number of students in the overall research sample was 35.
34
35
Learning activities are carried out within 40 minutes. It's time to learn
to open and close. Each class is given learning materials, including
Explanation text material, for 40 minutes. The material is carried out in 1
(one) meeting, each session 1 (one) material. Research activities include
initial activities, core activities, and final activities. Students were invited to
pray at the beginning of the movement before the learning process began. In
the following action, the teacher opens the attendance book and sees
students who do not enter. At the pre-test stage, the teacher gives question
sheets to students in class, and the completed question sheets are returned to
the teacher. Unlike the post-test, after praying together and accompanying
the students, the teacher gives a question sheet and 60 minutes to do the test
in class. In this section, 35 students stated that the collaborative writing
method was interesting for students during the learning process.
3. Evaluation
After doing and collecting the work, the teacher invites students to tell
stories and explain what they do not understand. This activity is carried out
as a reflection or evaluation of learning, namely providing direction and
stating some things that are not following student statements. After the
learning evaluation, the teacher invites students to start learning activities
by praying together.
4.2 Finding
The findings of this study relate to the student's pre-test results, and post-
test results are classified. A test was administered not once but twice for the
researcher to collect enough data to respond to the issues raised in the research
presented in the last chapter. Before the students were given therapy, a pre-test
was provided to measure their writing abilities in analytical exposition texts. This
was done so that the treatment could be more effectively administered. The
36
students were given a post-test to assess their writing skills after they had finished
getting treatment, and the results of the post-test are reported in the next section,
which comes after the completion of treatment. Before and after the children
received therapy, they were given these two exams to measure how well they
could write. 4.2.1 The Students' Writing Abilities as Demonstrated in the SMKN
The researcher is aware of the findings of the pre-test that the students took based
on the evaluation rubric for the task of producing an analytical exposition text,
using the written scoring rubric, as seen in Table 4. According to the data, most
38
pupils had grades between 30 and 50, placing them in the very low or poor
category.

C : Content
O : Organization
V : Vocabulary
L : Language Use
M: Mechanics
a. Content
The content aspect has four criteria: mastering the topic of writing, being
topic discussed. The teacher did not determine the issues written in the pre-action

student has a problem that can be developed according to their knowledge. The

c. vocabulary
The third aspect assessed in the students' explanation writing is the vocabulary
aspect. This aspect refers to word ownership or word choice. In the vocabulary
aspect, there are still student errors in vocabulary. These errors can be seen in
using words that are not standard and do not match the enhanced spelling.
The fourth aspect is the aspect of language use. This aspect refers to sentence
construction and effectiveness. At the pre-action stage, there are still many errors
e. Mechanical
The last aspect of writing an explanation text is the mechanical aspect. This
aspect refers to word writing, related to writing rules, spelling punctuation, use of
capital letters, and paragraph arrangement. Many students still write errors using
According to the data shown in the table above, which represents the writing
scores of students before they underwent treatment with the collaborative writing
method, 35 of the students in the table receive scores that fall into one of three
categories: average, terrible, or wrong. There is not a single student who receives
scores that fall into the excellent and sound categories. The sum of all of your
answers on the preliminary exam is 1437. It is plain to observe that the students in
40
Based on the post-test results, the data shows that the average post-test
score is excellent. From the analysis, it can be seen that the writing ability of 35
students is classified as good because there is an increase in student scores.
Thirty-five students in the excellent classification, although there are students in
the moderate type, there are no students in the poor category, inferior.

When writing an exposition, one must consider the following five aspects: the
topic, the arrangement, the vocabulary, and the language usage. The rationale is as
follows.
a. Content
The content aspect has four criteria: mastering the topic of writing, being
topic discussed. The teacher did not determine the issues written in the pre-action.
This time, students were given the freedom to decide their cases. Therefore, each
student has a problem that can be developed according to their knowledge. The
criteria. Students still have not mastered the problems regarding the chosen topic,
b. Organizational
and cohesive. At this pre-action stage, students' writing was poorly organized, and
c. vocabulary
The third aspect assessed in the students' explanation writing is the vocabulary
aspect. This aspect refers to word ownership or word choice. In the vocabulary
aspect, there are still student errors in vocabulary. These errors can be seen in
using words that are not standard and do not match the enhanced spelling.
The fourth aspect is the aspect of language use. This aspect refers to
sentence construction and effectiveness. At the pre-action stage, there are still
e. Mechanical
The last aspect of writing explanation text is the mechanical aspect. This
aspect refers to word writing, related to writing rules, spelling punctuation, use of
capital letters, and paragraph arrangement. Many students still write errors using
The following table illustrates the progression of the pre-test and the
post-test.

It can be seen that the average score of students in each aspect of the
assessment of explanatory writing has decreased. In content, students are less able
to develop the topics or ideas they get. In the organizational part, students' writing
44
has also reduced. Students' writing includes three exposition structures: the
vocabulary aspect. This aspect refers to word mastery or word choice. In this
aspect of vocabulary, it shows that there has been an increase. Before being given
the action, the average score of the class in this aspect was 8.51 d. Furthermore,
after being given the first action cycle, the average score was 17.97.
The fourth aspect is the aspect of language use. Some students have not paid
This aspect refers to the writing of words, which are related to the rules of writing,
increasing. In language use, an average score of 8.11 was obtained, and after the
action in the first cycle, it rose to 17.06. It is proven that before being given the
action, the average score of students was only 3.49, and after being given the first
The data in the scoring table demonstrates that the post-test scores are
higher than the ones from the pre-test. The average score on the pre-test was
41.06, and after the exam, it climbed to 75.60. The pre-test has a standard
deviation of 4.95, but the post-test has a standard deviation of 9.05. Consequently,
the significance of the post-test mean score was significantly higher than the pre-
test mean score. It indicated that the student's writing abilities had improved as a
result of the teaching method that had been used in the class.

In the normality test section, there are 2 (two) tests to see the distribution of
pre-test and post-test data in class XI KI. The tests include a pre-test normality
test and a post-test normality test. The following table shows the pre-test and

4.4 Discussion
During the learning process, the author gathers specific information from
the students' actions. This study was carried out throughout five separate sessions.
The test and treatment results showed that implementing the collaborative writing
approach may enhance students' writing abilities in explanatory texts. The test
consisted of two sessions, while the treatment consisted of one meeting. The
writer tasked the students with composing an explanation text at the first
topic of global warming." After that, students hand over their finished work to the
50
writer. Its purpose is to evaluate the pupils' capacity to compose explanation texts
before administering any therapy. In this scenario, the writer uses the writing
evaluation rubric to provide a score for the pupils' work at home. The researcher
explained the explanation wording at the second meeting. The author requested
that the pupils organize themselves into groups. The author included some other

assignments to complete.
explanations during the pre-action stage fall within the "less" category. During the
some students were less passionate about practising writing. Students don't
accomplish any studying; instead, they spend their time joking around with one
another and distracting their peers who are working. Students have a hard time
coming up with projects to focus on. The following field notes provide evidence
of this conclusion.

E.Mechanics
The mechanical aspect of the A9 above at the time of the pre-test was still
low. There are still many errors in capital letters in the pre-action test. Not only
that, but punctuation is also still not noticed. Word abbreviations are still standard.
These methods stimulate students through the use of frequent visual components,
such as:
explanatory text, to evaluate the student's abilities to write and choose the
appropriate words (word choice) in various contexts and for multiple purposes
and functions. To broaden the kids' vocabulary, the instructor will ask the pupils
to clarify anything they are unsure about. The pupils can compose words or
phrases that adhere to the rules of good grammar. The evidence from the

observations made by pupils who can concentrate and pay attention to the
instructor while explaining something. Students do not waste time during the
lesson; they are motivated and enjoy writing class; they are active in asking when
they do not understand; they gather to work on assignments together, and they are
more engaged in class. Therefore, it has the potential to boost the motivation of
inspiration of the class's participants. When looking at the test results, the
information provided in the classification table based on the writing aspect makes
it abundantly clear that out of the pre-test group of thirty-five students, there was
not a single student who received excellent, good, or sufficient scores. This is
made abundantly clear by the fact that there was not a single student who received
excellent, good, or adequate scores. Instead, ten students (45.45%) received poor
results on the post-test, while none of the students received scores that were very
bad, poor, adequate, or very good. The author concludes from this data that the
pupils' writing abilities have improved from very bad to good, moving from not
good to excellent. A further point of interest is that the mean score on the pre-test
was 40.5, but the mean score on the post-test was 75.14. As a direct consequence
of this, the average value of the post-test, which came in at 75.14 points, is greater
than the average value of the pre-test, which came in at 67.08 points (40.5 points).
Even after taking into consideration the significance criterion of 5 per cent and the
total number of degrees of freedom (df), the value of the table is still 0.444. Still,
the result of the t-test is 3.00. The fact that the value of the t-test is greater than the
55
value of the t-table (65,54) leads one to conclude that the student's ability to

writing abilities, which included: writing to explore their thoughts, using the
appropriate words while writing, composing paragraphs using proper syntax, and
student's test scores provide further evidence to support the progress of their
writing abilities. According to the analysis of the just completed results, the

average score on the pre-test was 75.00, but it rose to 75.60 on the post-test. Since
