Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of audio visual media in teaching recount text writing to high school students. Writing is often considered one of the most challenging language skills to master, especially for EFL learners. The integration of multimedia, particularly audio-visual media, is believed to enhance students‟ engagement and facilitate their understanding of text structures, ideas, and vocabulary. Therefore, this research explores whether the use of audio-visual media can significantly improve students‟ ability to write recount texts effectively. The study employs a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group taught using audio-visual media and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, focusing on key components of writing: organization, content, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Prior to hypothesis testing, tests for normality and homogeneity were conducted. The results showed that the experimental groups data were normally distributed, while the control groups were not; however, both groups were homogeneous. Given the non-normal distribution in one group, the Mann-Whitney U test was applied to analyze the significance of differences between the groups. The analysis revealed a significance value (p-value) of 0.000, which is lower than the alpha level of 0.05. This result leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis, indicating a significant difference in writing performance between the experimental and control groups. Students in the experimental group showed greater improvements in their writing scores and demonstrated enhanced motivation, engagement, and idea development. These findings justify the effectiveness of audio-visual media as a teaching tool that not only improves writing skills but also fosters a more dynamic and interactive learning environment. Keywords: Audio-Visual Media, Recount Text, Writing Skills.
