The Effectiveness of Draw Label Caption Strategy in Teaching Writing for EFL Students

This research was aimed to find out whether or not the Draw Label Caption is effective toward students’ writing skill. The research was experimental research and the design used was pre-experimental with pretest-posttest design. The population of the study was the second year students of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram which consisted of one class (28 students). One class was chosen by using simple sampling technique and the result of test was distributed obtain the research data. In analyzing the data was used t-test formula. The findings showed that t-test was (4.875) > t-table (2.052) at the significant level = 0,05 (95%) and N=28 students. It means that, Alternative hypothesis (Ha) is using Draw Label Caption toward students’ writing skill at the second year students of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram in academic year 2019/2020 was accepted. It could be concluded that there was significant effect of Draw Label Caption toward student’s writing skill at second year student of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram.


INTRODUCTION
Writing is essential to be mastered by the learners because this is a form of result. It means writing is one of the language skills to express idea, thought, feeling and opinion in written form (Bull, 2008). Pardiyono,( 2007) said that writing is communicative act; it is a way of sharing information, thoughts, experiences, or ideas, between ourselves and others. Furthermore, according to Ghaitzh (2002), writing is a complex process that allows the writers to explore thoughts, and ideas, and make them visible concrete. Thereby, it is understandable that writing is supposed to be difficult language skill.
Writing is not a skill acquired naturally by a man just like speaking. It is culturally a specific learned behavior (Brown, 2009). In line with Brown's opinion, Harmer (2004) stated that "writing is not a skill that can be acquired by picking it up from exposure". In other words, the two experts assert that in order to acquire writing skill normally needs some forms of instruction from someone else.
Writing emerges in society because spoken language cannot fulfill communicative needs which resulted from cultural change. Sugianto (2008) stated that "one of successful writing in using grammatical system is to convey one's intended meaning. Barnet & Marcia ( 1990) said that writing is considered as the most difficult skill since it involves several components including contents, organization, vocabulary, grammar structure, and mechanic; Cohen (1994) also stated that "assessing of writing task such as content, organization, grammatical structure, vocabulary, and mechanic (spelling, punctuation, and capitalization)". Assessing writing means how teacher give score of writing to students. In this research, the researcher assessed the students' writing using Cohen's theory.
Writing skill becomes important because of the progress of knowledge, information and technology. Moreover, teaching writing is not easy. Besides, teachers must be creative to determine appropriate technique in teaching writing activity especially for many genres of the text such as narrative, descriptive, recount, procedure, news item, and report text. All of the texts have important position to be used as object of learning in every day. Descriptive text is one of texts that should be taught at school. A descriptive text is a genre of text that provides illustration about place, thing, and person in detail. In line with the problem above, Draw Label Caption strategy is offered as an alternative in teaching descriptive text.
According to Bull (2008) that Drawing is "art or skill of making pictures, plants, etc." Label is "a small piece of paper or put a label on something in a particular way. Caption is a short piece of text under a picture in a book, magazine or newspaper which describes the picture or explains what the people in it are doing or saying. That is a strategy which is used to make the students easier in writing the text in English especially descriptive text, so that Draw Label Caption strategy can help the students to do it. In this case, there are three stages of Draw Label Caption. Firstly, draw stage in which the students draw anything that they want. Secondly, label stage in which the students give name in every drawing in detail. The last is caption stage in which the students change names of the drawing to become a sentence. Finally, the students are demanded to cluster sentences to be a paragraph.
An observation is conducted by the present researcher at SMA Hang Tuah Mataram. When students follow English learning process especially writing, the researcher find that students in learning have a difficulty to write even the simple sentence or words, the students often do the simple mistake when the teacher asks to write simple short sentence or words; such as students have no an idea what to write and how to write in simple way. It problems occur because of the students are not accustomed and lack of interest so that is why the students hard to understand teacher instruction when they are in learning process. Some problems above are caused by two factors: the factor from a teachers and factor from the students themselves. Factor shortage of teachers in the learning process among others, lack of teachers' skills in teaching using media and technology education so that the learning process is not effective and efficient, delivery of a material is traditionally supposed to be changed by using the method or the new strategy so that students are interested and not bored during the learning process and the latter approach is the lack of teachers who have a good care to the students in learning so that teachers do not know the characteristics of their students.
The shortage of students comes from factor of internal and external. Internal factors such as factor physiological effect on the brain's ability of students and factors psychological effect on the feelings of the students, while factors external can come from social factors that influenced by the environment of parents and the community which have a major impact to the students that can not to be denied during the process of learning progress.
This occurs because of the way teachers in teaching do not interest for students, teachers have to be more creative and innovative in teaching by implementing a new method or strategy that can make students happy and suggested when learning. It can be concluded that the role of teachers and students in the process is important in order to achieve quality education as expected.
When the students learn English, they have to reduce a stress. The teacher may not give many difficult exercises that make them stress. The teacher should to make the class relax and not boring. In order to make the students interest when they learn English, there is some method to teach especially in Teaching Writing. As a teaching media, Draw Label Caption is needed and very essential to clarify information, especially in teaching vocabulary. Draw Label Caption is also used to help teacher to improve the effectiveness of teaching learning activity as well.
Based on the phenomenon above, the present researcher intends to investigate "the effectiveness of Draw-Label-Caption strategy in teaching writing of descriptive text to the students of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram.

Descriptive Analysis a. Mean
The formula is:

1.1. Descriptive Analysis
Dealing with the table score of the students score above it was obtained the total score of Pretest was Post-test was Deviation was and Deviation Square was .
After the total score both of the tests obtained,the work continued to the computation of the mean score of the tests.

Computation and Interpretation of Standard Deviation Score
The result was sum of deviation score (ΣD) was 544 and sum of quadrate deviation score (ΣD 2 ) was 12000.

Inferential Analysis
The researcher intended to analyze the data by using t-test formula as last step. The formula it as follows:

Discussion
In this term, the result of the value, it is needed consult t-table by using N-1 as the degree freedom (df). The df is N-1 = 28-1= 27, having known the value of df, the researcher needed to cheeked up the t-table of df 27.And the researcher found that the value was 4.875> 2.052 for confidence level of 0.05 (95%). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (H a ), which state: "Draw Label Caption" is still effective for teaching writing for EFL students of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram in academic year 2019/2020.

Conclusion
The statistical analysis of the data obtained showed that the figures of student's mean score of pre-test was 37.57 and 57 for pos-test. The student's mean score of post-test was higher than pre-test.
This was taken based on the result of the t-test, it was found that t-test was 4.875 and t-table at
