Students can express their idea through writing, for example in writing a recount text. They can tell their own experience. In writing a text, students may find some difficulties and make some mistakes. Teachers should help them to solve their problem so students can improve their writing ability. The writer found problem owned by the eighth grade students of MTs N Gembong in conducting writing. Peer reviewing can be used by students to respond their friend’s writing and give comment whether they make mistakes. The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is any significant difference between the ability of writing recount text of the eighth grade students of MTs N Gembong in academic year 2012/ 2013 before and after being taught by using Peer Reviewing. In this research, the writer uses experimental research design without control group.

The mean is 76 and standard deviation is 47,96. The calculation of t-test gets the result 15,48, t-table is 2,05. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the ability of writing recount text of the eight students of MTs N Gembong academic year 2012/2013 before and after being taught by using peer reviewing. Considering the process and the result of this research, the writer gives suggestions. For the English teachers, they can apply peer reviewing as alternative technique in teaching writing to improve their students’ ability in writing, especially in writing recount text. For the students, they should not be afraid when

they asked by the teacher to write a text. They can use peer reviewing with their friends to improve their ability in writing text. Hopefully, there will be further studies observing other advantages of writing recount text by using peer reviewing.

ABSTRAKSI
Triliasari , Novia Agustina, 2013. Kemampuan Menulis Teks Recount Siswa Kelas VIII MTs N Gembong Tahun Ajaran 2012/ 2013 Diajar Menggunakan Peer Reviewing. Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd, (2) Drs. Muh Syafei, M.Pd. Kata Kunci: Menulis, Teks Recount, Peer Reviewing. Menulis sebagai kemampuan yang produktif merupakan kemampuan yang sangat penting dalam Bahasa Inggris untuk para siswa karena menulis mempunyai beberapa keuntungan bagi mereka. Para siswa dapat mengekspresikan ide mereka melalui menulis, sebagai contohnya dalam menulis teks recount. Mereka dapat menceritakan pengalaman pribadi mereka. Dalam menulis sebuah teks, para siswa mungkin menemukan beberapa kesulitan dan membuat beberapa kesalahan. Para guru sebaiknya menolong mereka untuk menyelesaikan masalah mereka sehingga para siswa dapat meningkatkan kemampuan menulisnya. Penulis menemukan masalah yang dimiliki oleh siswa kelas delapan MTs N Gembong dalam menulis teks. Peer reviewing dapat digunakan oleh para siswa untuk menanggapi karangan teman meraka dan memberi ulasan apakah mereka membuat kesalahan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan apakah ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan menulis teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs N Gembong tahun ajaran 2012/2013 sebelum dan sesudah diajar menggunakan Peer Reviewing. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan desain penelitian eksperimen tanpa kelompok kontrol. Ada dua variabel dalam penelitian ini; yaitu Peer Reviewing sebagai independent variable dan kemampuan menulis teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs N Gembong tahun ajaran 2012/2013 sebagai dependent variable. Penulis menentukan siswa kelas MTs N Gembong tahun ajaran 2012/2013 sebagai populasi dan mengambil kelas VIII A sebagai sampel. Penulis menggunakan tes untuk mendapatkan data yang akurat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan menulis teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs N Gembong tahun ajaran 2012/2013 sebelum diajar dengan menggunakan peer reviewing dikategorikan cukup. Nilai rata- ratanya adalah 56 dan standar deviasinya adalah 76,20. Sedangkan, kemampuan menulis teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs N Gembong tahun ajaran 2012/2013 setelah diajar dengan menggunakan peer reviewing dikategorikan bagus. Nilai rataratanya adalah 76 dan standar deviasinya adalah 47,96. Perhitungan t-tes mendapat hasil 15,48, t-table adalah 2,05. Ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kemampuan menulis teks recount siswa kelas delapan MTs N Gembong tahun ajaran 2012/2013 sebelum dan sesudah diajar menggunakan peer reviewing. Dengan mempertimbangkan proses dan hasil dari penelitian ini, penulis memberikan saran. Untuk para guru Bahasa Inggris, mereka dapat menerapkan
xi
peer reviewing sebagai tekhnik alternative dalam mengajarkan menulis untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis para siswa mereka, khususnya dalm menulis teks recount. Untuk para siswa, mereka tidak perlu merasa takut ketika diminta oleh guru untuk menulis sebuah teks. Mereka dapat menggunakan peer reviewing dengan teman mereka untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam menulis teks. Semoga aka nada penelitian lebih lanjut yang mengamati keuntungankeuntungan lain dalam menulis teks recount dengan menggunakan peer reviewing.
