Abstract

Writing is one of the important skills in learning English. Writing is a means to express ideas about something or a means to communicate with others. Writing can be interpreted as an expression of someone who is written with the use of grammar and punctuation. In english writing texts can be assessed with good grammar and appropriate vocabulary. While, one of the students' obstacles in writing is the lack of vocabulary, grammar and mechanics when writing. Therefore, This research uses the Project Based Learning (PjBL) method to solve student problems.
Based on the background above, the aim of this study is to describe how can teacher enhance the second grade student's writing greeting cards using Project Based Learning (PjBL) method of SMPN 1 Jember.
This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) collaboration with 2 learning cycles. This study was conducted with the researcher acting as a teacher who became a facilitator, while the english teacher controls the situation of the teaching process from start to finish behind the class. Research subjects were class VIII students of SMPN 1 Jember. The class consists of 32 students. Based on preliminary observation, this class was chosen because the students' writing skill were still low, they had some problems in writing such as lack of vocabulary, lack of knowledge about grammar and their lack of mechanics in writing English texts, so this research was expected to be able improve students' writing skill.
The results of the students' writing tests on the pre-test showed that the average student scores is 45,8 and the percentage of students who pass the pre-test is 21,2%. This means that there are 7 students who pass the success criteria and 26 other students did not pass the success criteria. While in post-test I showed that the average student score was 56,2, which means that the average student scores is still low and under the target score, namely 70. The percentage student who pass the post-test 1 is 42,4% which shows that the percentage of student scores still has not reached the target, namely 70%, that means that only 14 students achieved the target score of 75. Meanwhile, the students' average score in post-test II was 81,6 and the percentage students who pass the post-test II is 78,7%, which means that the student scores is above the target score and thats mean the students' written test scores had increased. There were 26 students who passed the success criteria, thus it can be concluded that there is an increase in students' writing skills after applying the Project Based Learning method.
