THE EFFECT OF USING VIDEO TUTORIAL MEDIA ON STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL IN WRITING PROCEDURE TEXT AT THE TENTH GRADE OF SMA KAMPUS NOMMENSEN PEMATANGSIANTAR

Abstract

Writing is an essential skill in English learning as it enables students to express
ideas, thoughts, and feelings in a clear and meaningful way. However, many
students still face difficulties in writing procedure texts, particularly in
generating ideas, organizing steps, and using appropriate grammar and
vocabulary. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using video tutorial
media on students’ writing skills in procedure text at the tenth grade of SMA
Kampus Nommensen Pematangsiantar.This research employed a quantitative
method with a pre-experimental design using one-group pre-test and post-test.
The participants consisted of 23 students from class X-1 selected through
purposive sampling. Data were collected using writing tests and analyzed
through descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The results showed that
the students’ mean score increased from 56.5 in the pre-test to 76.9 in the posttest,
indicating a significant improvement in their writing performance after
being taught using video tutorial media.The findings suggest that video tutorial
media is effective in improving students’ understanding of text structure,
language features, and grammatical accuracy in writing procedure texts. In
addition, the use of video tutorials enhanced students’ motivation and
engagement during the learning process. Therefore, video tutorial media can be
considered an effective and practical instructional tool to enhance students’
writing skills, particularly in learning procedure texts.
