Abstract:
This research dealt with the effect of using sequence picture technique on
students’ achievevement in writing. The objective of this research was to find out
the significant effect of using sequence picture technique on students’
achievement in writing. This research was conducted at SMA CITRA HARAPAN
of academic year 2017/2018 Jalan Medan Percut Km. 19.5 Kec. Percut Sei Tuan
Kab. Deli Serdang. The population of this study was the eleventh grade students,

class taught by using sequence picture technique and XI-2 as control class taught
without using sequence picture technique. The study was conducted by using an
experimental research design. Each group was given a pre-test, treatment, and
post-test. This data were acquired by administrating an written test which was
given in pre-test and post-test. After analyzing the data by using t test formula, it
was obtained that t-test was higher than t-table (4.92 >2.00) with (α = 0.05). and
the degree of freedom (df) 58. The finding showed that the students achievement
in writing by using sequence picture technique was more significant than those
without using sequence picture technique. Based on this research, it was revealed
that the percentage of the effect of using sequence picture techniquewas 64.20 %
and 35.8% was influenced by other factors
