| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Think Talk Write (TTW) strategy in learning to write analytical exposition texts for students in grade XI of SMA Negeri 3 Medan. This study addresses the problem of students' difficulties in writing analytical exposition texts, particularly in organizing ideas and understanding text structures. The study employs a quantitative experimental method with a true experimental design, involving two groups: an experimental class taught using the TTW strategy and a control class taught through conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' writing performance. The findings show a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. The mean post-test score for the experimental group was 84.13, exceeding the control group's mean score of 71.2. In addition, the data collected for this study showed normal distribution. Based on the analysis conducted using the t-test, Tcount =
3.11 was obtained at a significant level of α = 5%, dk (n-1) = 14, so (15-1) = 14, so Ttable = 1.76. It can be concluded that Tcount > Ttable (3.11> 1.76). | en_US |
