SKRIPSI USING BUZZ GROUP TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE WRITING SKILL IN NARRATIVE TEXT FOR THE TENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMAN 2 MAGELANG
Writing is one of the important language skills that enables individuals to express ideas, feelings, and opinions. However, many students still perceive writing as a difficult skill to master. Its complex aspects often lead to various difficulties in developing writing proficiency. The use of engaging learning techniques can enhance students’ motivation, interest, and writing skills while reducing these difficulties. The first objective of this study was to determine whether the Buzz Group technique can improve students’ learning motivation in writing narrative texts for the tenth grade of SMAN 2 Magelang. The second objective was to investigate how the Buzz Group technique can improve the students’ narrative text writing skill in the tenth grade of SMAN 2 Magelang. The research was conducted through Classroom Action Research (CAR), which consisted of a Pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. The participants were 36 students from class X1 of SMAN 2 Magelang. Data were collected using qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data included observations, questionnaires, and documentation, while the quantitative data consisted of students’ test scores. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques were employed to analyze the data. The results showed an improvement in students’ motivation to learn writing narrative text. Observation results showed that the average students’ motivation increased from 50.56% to 78.89%. Furthermore, students’ writing skill showed notable progress, as evidenced by the increase in the average test score from 63.29 in the pre-test to 78.34 in the post-test. Moreover, the majority of students achieved the minimum standard score of 75. The results of this study suggest that the implementation of the Buzz Group technique can improve students’ motivation in learning English writing, with more than 75% of students demonstrating high motivation. The technique also proved successful in improving students’ writing skill, as over 75% of the students achieved scores above the minimum standard of 75. Across the two cycles, a consistent improvement was observed in both motivation and writing performance. These results suggest that the Buzz Group technique can serve as an alternative technique for developing students’ writing skill and may provide valuable insights for teachers and future researchers in the field of writing instruction
