INTRODUCTION

Crawford (2002) states that the use of existing materials has been considered to have some weaknesses. Authentic material does not present the real language models in real context, it also reduces teachers role in classroom from the classroom managers to the teachers who rely on other people’s ideas (Crawford, 2002). In addition, it does accommodate local materials and brings about local culture.

Martinez (2002) and Jacobson et al (2003) mention that the existing materials have burdened students and teachers due to the difficult vocabularies covered and the preparation could be time consuming. They rarely offer real language examples used in real life context (Jacobson et al, 2003). At the meantime, authentic materials support EFL learning environment in which exposure to the target language is needed as in the first language acquisition (Krashen, 1986). Furthermore, authentic material can make the students feel interested with the topic given by the teacher (Jacobson et al, 2003).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

RESULT

The researcher conducted four meetings. In the first meeting the researcher gave pretest to see the basic writing skill of the students. And in the second and third meeting, the researcher gave treatments by using authentic material. In the last meeting the researcher gave posttest to find out the improvement in students’ procedure text writing by using authentic material.

The statistical computation using independent t-test showed that there was improvement of students’ procedure writing achievement. We could see that from the mean in pretest was 60.48 up to 78.17 in posttest. The improvement was 17.69.

DISCUSSION

At the beginning of this research, the researcher conducted the pretest as the first activity. It was administered to find out students’ achievement in procedure text writing. During the time on which the researcher administered the pretest, the researcher could know that most of students were really confused to start writing and they took longer time to finish their writing for more than 60 minutes.

When doing the pretest most of the students were really busy by asking each other about what should they wrote and some students rather frequently asked the researcher to help them instead. This implies that they had difficulty in writing and had a problem in developing the idea.
