Abstract

Understanding grammar is an important reason for writing success in writing class. Through a good understanding of grammar, the reader can understand the message in the writing, and communication can run well. Meanwhile, effective learning can be assessed from students' positive attitude. The problem with teaching writing is students` difficulties in writing English due to a lack of understanding and knowledge of grammar. Teachers are encouraged to adopt effective strategies to develop students' positive attitude in learning grammar in writing classroom.
The researcher took STAD as cooperative learning because there are cooperative writing activities in groups to help each other understand grammar and collaborate in writing using grammar. Although previous research has explored the STAD cooperative learning model in grammar and writing learning, only a few have examined students' attitude. To achieve the research goal, the research focused on examining how the impact of cooperative grammar learning through STAD learning model on students` attitude in writing classroom. .
This research used a qualitative approach with a case study as the research design. This research project was carried out at one of the high schools in Jember. The participants were taken from class X5 students, with an age range of 16-17 years. The data collected was obtained from three techniques, which included semi-structured interviews supported by audio recordings (which were presented in transcript form), document analysis involving student learning artifacts, and classroom observations supported by several recordings of important events. These data were processed and analyzed using thematic analysis adopted from Braun and Clarke (2006). Overall, there are three findings of this research which are developments of the main findings. These findings include 1) rewards and variations in STAD developing students' motivation and self-confidence, 2) increasing grammar comprehension and retention through STAD cooperative learning and 3) student's active role in group writing activities.
In conclusion, this research showed that the use of STAD grammar cooperative learning in writing classroom can achieve students' positive attitude including motivation and self-confidence through STAD learning steps, increased student retention and understanding of grammar, as well as students' active role in writing groups.
