ABSTRACT Wulandari, Dewi. 2011. The Ability of Writing Analytical Exposition Text of the Eleventh Grade Students of SMA N 2 Kudus in the Academic Year 2011/2012 Taught by Using LEET (Label, Explanation, Example and Tie-back). Skripsi. English Education Department. Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (i) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M. Pd. (ii) Mutohhar, S. Pd, M. Pd. Keywords: Writing, Analytical Exposition Text, LEET Writing is usually considered as the most difficult skill to master for the students who are learning English. It has many complex processes such as prewriting, drafting, editing, and revising. Based on the KTSP (school based curriculum), the most recent curriculum used in schools in Indonesia, takes the genre approach. One of the genres introduced in the eleventh year of senior high school is analytical exposition. In fact, the writer found some problems in conveying the English material to the students. Besides structure and vocabulary, the students get difficulties in generating idea. Because of those, an effort done to solve the problem is by using LEET. LEET can help the students to organize their thoughts. It is effective way to improve the ability in writing analytical exposition text. The purposes of this study are to find out, first, the ability in writing analytical exposition text of the eleventh grade students of SMA N 2 Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 who are before being taught by using LEET. The second, the ability in writing analytical exposition text of the eleventh grade students of SMA N 2 Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 who are taught by using LEET. The third is to find out whether there is significant difference between the ability in writing analytical exposition text of the eleventh grade students of SMA N 2 Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 who are before and after being taught by using LEET. Subject of this research were eleventh grade students of SMA N 2 Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012 with the number of students was 32 students from the population 298 students chosen randomly. The design of this research is experimental research. The instrument used to collect the data is written test. The result of this study shows that the students’ ability in writing analytical exposition text before being taught by using LEET is fair (Mean 69.53 and Standard deviation 5.4). Meanwhile, the students’ ability in writing analytical exposition text after being taught by using LEET is good (Mean 77.97 and Standard deviation 5.82). From this data result, it can be shown that the score of post test is higher than pretest. The result of t-observation is higher than t-table that uses level of significant 5% (11.43>2.04). Based on the findings some recommendations are proposed. English teacher should use LEET as prewriting technique in process of learning English. The writer also recommends the students to apply LEET to help them improving their writing ability.

ABSTRAKSI Wulandari, Dewi. 2011.Kemampuan Menulis Teks Analytical Exposition pada siswa kelas XI SMA N 2 Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012 Diajar Menggunakan LEET (Label, Explanation, Example dan Tie-back). Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M. Pd. (ii) Mutohhar, S. Pd, M. Pd. Kata Kunci: Menulis, Teks analytical Exposition, LEET Menulis dianggap sebagai kemampuan yang paling sulit dikuasai oleh siswa yang belajar bahasa inggris. Terdapat banyak proses yang kompleks dalam menulis seperti tahapan sebelum menulis, draf, edit dan revisi. Berdasarkan KTSP (Kurikulul Tingkat Satuan pendidikan), kurikulum yang baru-baru ini paling banyak digunakan di sekolah-seekolah di Indonesia yang memakai pendekatan jenis teks. Salah satu jenis teks yang diajarkan di kelas XI adalah analytical exposition. Pada kenyataanya, penulis menemukan beberapa masalah dalam penyampaian materi kepada siswa. Selain tata bahasa dan kosakata, siswa kesulitan mengembangkan ide. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan usaha untuk mengatasi masalah ini yakni dengan menggunakan LEET. LEET dapat digunakan untuk mebantu siswa mengorganisasikan pemikiran mereka. LEET merupakan cara yang efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis teks analytical exposition. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui: pertama, kemampuan menulis teks analytical exposition siswa kelas XI SMA N 2 Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 yang diajar sebelum menggunakan LEET. Kedua adalah kemampuan menulis teks analytical exposition siswa kelas XI SMA N 2 Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 yang diajar menggunakan LEET. Ketiga adalah apakah ada perbedeaan yang signifiksn antara kemampuan menulis teks analytical exposition siswa kelas XI SMA N 2 Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 yang diajar sebelum menggunakan LEET dan setelah menggunakan LEET. Subjek dari penelitian ini adalahsiswa kelas XI SMA N 2 Kudus tahaun pelajaran 2011/2012 dengan jumlah siswa 32 dari 298 siswa yang dipilih secara acak. Desain dari penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental. Alat yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data adalah tes tertulis. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks analytical exposition sebelum menggunakan LEET adalah cukup (Mean 69,53 and Standard deviation 5,4). sedangkan hasil kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks analytical exposition setelah menggunakan LEET adalah bagus (Mean 77,97 and Standard deviation 5,82). berdasarkan hasil data, dapat di ketahui bahwa nilai posttest lebih tinggi daripada pretest. Hasil dari t-observasi lebih tinggi daripada t-tabel dengan taraf signifikan 5% (11,43>2,04). Berdasarkan hasil yang telah dibahas, beberapa rekomendasi disarankan.
