The Application of SAVI Strategy to Improve Students’ Writing Skill at Second Grade of SMAN 3 Langsa

The study investigated SAVI strategy to improve students’ writing ability or not at the second grade students of SMAN 3 Langsa. In this research, the writer applied experimental study. The problem of study does students’ improve in writing skill after applying SAVI strategy. The writer taught two classes. They are; the experimental class, was taught writing by using SAVI strategy, and the control class, was taught by using non SAVI strategy. The writer gave both classes the pre-test, applied the treatments and gave the post-test to obtain the data. The data collected and analyzed by using t-test formula. According to the result of statistical calculation, the Mpre-test of experiment class was 57.70, Mpost-test was 71.66, and Mgained score was 13.6. While, the Mpre-test of control was 59.26, Mpost-test was 67.83, and Mgained score was 8.5. Besides, t-observation (to) was 5.520 and t-table (tt) at significance level of 5% is 2.000. So that, it shows that t-observation (to) was higher than t-table (tt) or 5.520 > 2.000. The result means that there were significant difference between students’ score in learning writing by using SAVI strategy and without using SAVI strategy. In conclusion, using SAVI strategy were effective and applicable for teaching writing at the second grade students of students’ SMAN 3 Langsa.
