THE EFFECT OF USING PAIRWORK ACTIVITY TO IMPROVE STUDENTS ’ ABILITY IN WRITING PARAGRAPH

Writing skill can encourage the students’ vocabulary enrichment, achieve the ability of students’ feeling, ideas, opinion, and express anything in their mind. This research is conducted because of some problems, they were : the students had difficulty in composing a good paragraph, need a speciffic activity that can help the students’ to improve student’s English writing ability in MA.Miftahul Qulub Polagan Galis Pamekasan, exactly writing descriptive paragraph. The purpose of the study are: To know the students taught using pair work activity have higher achievement on writing paragraph of the grade x students of MA Miftahul Qulub Pamekasan and to measure the significant effect of pair work activity use on writing paragraph of the gradex students in MA Miftahul Qulub Polagan Galis Pamekasan. The reserach was analysed by using quantitative method of experimental reserach design, and is implemented some kind of instruments such as, test (pre-test and post-test), observation and documentation. The result of this research showed that the students are taught by pair work activity have higher achievement on the students’ writing at the X grade of MA Miftahul Qulub Polagan Galis Pamekasan. Besause t-observed 3.405 > t-table 2.009 so Ha is accepted. It has also significant effect of pairwork activity on writing paragraph of students at the X grade in MA Miftahul Qulub Polagan Galis Pamekasan. Because the significance is (0,001) < 0,05. It can concluded Ha is accepted.


INTRODUCTION
Hartono said some items like certain person, thing, or place as an object to be described as social function of Descriptive writing (Hartono, 2005).
Descriptive is a kind of writing that can describe everything in detail then the readers will see the real

c) The test validity
Latief stated that validity is the correctness of the assessment, and the evidence to support the correctness of the assessment is called validity evidence (Latief, 2012).The

d) Reliability of the Test
Creswel said that Reliability is achieved if the scores from an instrument are stable and consistent (Creswell, 2012).The holistic scoring was used to see reability of the test.It used two raters or it is called by interrater reliability to avoid the subjectively.In inter-rater reliability, the scoring of the students' writing was done by the first and the second rater, they were the English teacher and the researcher.

 Observation 1
The researchers visited to the

b. Correlation of Rater 1 and Rater 2
The consistency value between rater 1 and rater 2 is 0.969.It means that the measurement of students score from both raters on the post-test is highly consistent, and it could be seen in the previous table of criteria of reliability.Because of the result of the correlation between rater 1 and rater 2 is highly consistent,it could be stated that the test is reliable.

Homogenity Post-Test
The post-test homogenity of the data were analyzed by applying SPSS v.20, specially by using wilk in SPSS v.20 for windows with criteria P > 0.05.The data result of test of normality are presented as follow:

Application
The problem faced by students The second is for the further researcher.The researcher want to based schools, besides that, the education based school has been divided to formal education and non-formal education.For curriculum application, for the formal education curriculum has been designing by using MORA while non-formal has been designing of its own curriculum.The problem faced by students is they could not compose a paragraph well, it was very weak competence on developing writing ability, especially in writing descriptive paragraph.There were 77 % of students just had a little ability in explaining and describing certain thing in writting, eventhough the students hadsome opinion and material in their thought so it make them did not passed the KKM.According to Pavlina Bercikova, Pairwork is a kind of classroom activity that can encourage the students to work in pair for something like discussing and checking their work each other communicatively communicative (Berčíková, 2007).It can be seen that the teacher should have a good and suitable activities when teaching learning process.So that students have high spirit to the material especially in teaching writing paragraph.One of a good activity to motivate and help students is pair work activity that learners working together with their partners.It intend to encourage pairwork in the classroom is to increase the capability for learners in writing paragraph.The step of pairwork activities can be described as following figure : researcher used construct validity.In this case, the researcher would like to parameterize the writing skill of students.The researchers gave the test for students to write a text, exactly 105 descriptive text that suitable with the topic.Then, it could be said that the test has construct validity because the test and the purpose of measurement was match.Besides that, the researcher also used content validity.It means that in conducting test, the material would be test included the material that was taught by the teacher about writing.The test was used to parameterize the ability of students' writing in descriptive paragrah, so the researchers give the test in writing form.There are some writing elements used in vocabulary, language, and mechanic..The students were given 90 minutes to compose the text.Both of the groups were given the same instruction.
test , the researcher concludes the teaching learning process can run very well.The students could enjoy and be more active to make composition especially on descriptive text after implementing of pair work activity.
Activity.The students look like feel boring with their work because there is not attractive activity to motivated them, They just got the usual instruction from the teacher.So they get lower score than the experimental group.It means that pairwork activity can be applied to teach writing in the grade x students of MA Miftahul Qulub Pamekasan.because it help students to have better writing skill.CONCLUSSION From the result of analysis above, the conclusion is that they are taught by implementing pairwork activity get higher score on writing paragraph of the grade x students of MA Miftahul Qulub Pamekasan.It is proved by the hypothesis testing that t-observed 3.405 > t-table 2.009.It shows that Ho is rejected then Ha is accepted.And there is also effect in implementing of pairwork activity significantly on writing paragraph of the grade x students of MA Miftahul Qulub Pamekasan.It is because the significance is (0,001) < 0, 05.So, Ho is rejected then Ha is accepted.So pair work activity can be applied to teach writing in the grade x students of MA Miftahul Qulub Pamekasan because it help students to have better writing skill.So it prove the effectiveness of pairwork activity on students' teacher and the further researcher.The first is for the teacher.Pair activity is suitable for the teacher that want to teach writing for the tenth grade because it can motivate the students to develop their idea in writing and they can also share and express their idea with their partner .
