INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of The Study
Since English has been the gateway in globalization era, people are forced
to have to be able to use English. Especially to communication with others people
who has the best knowledge and high quality of education. Besides that, English
is the best one language in every country to get the information in the specific
area. All of the communication between the different country always use the
English language because the English language as an International language in the
world. So, in our country that is Indonesia also use the English language to know
the news from another country. In Indonesia, English itself has been familiar as
the best position International language. It can be well if all of the people in our
country have knowledge about English. So, the first manner to get it, we can start
from the generation in the educations system. In the education system, the teacher
has the major factor to be a model on learning process especially in the English
subject. After that the teacher must be able to make the students more active in
practice English.
In the process to practice English language, there are some language skills
to complete students’ needs. All language skills such as listening, speaking,
reading, and writing must be applied in teaching English. We can understand the
information through listening and reading. In addition, through speaking and
2
purpose of teaching language is the students are expected to master all the
language skills. All language skills cannot be separated due to they are related to
each other and integrated in teaching English, especially writing. Writing is one of
the productive skills that must be mastered by the students besides the other
language skills.
The purpose of teaching writing is to improve students’ ability to function
effectively in such written context. Besides that writing is a very important
In addition, students can convey their ideas in their mind organizing them
into a good text so that the others know them and they can think critically.
Therefore, learning is very important for improved writing in particularly learning
of English in Indonesia because the writing is a process of transformation of
thoughts and ideas into tangible forms of writing. In addition, many people choose
writing as a means of effective and efficient communication of information to be
conveyed in some ways like posting the letters, business letters and important information in company’s product.
In the curriculum of senior high school, the curriculum required students
3
descriptive, report, explanation, analytical exposition, hortatory exposition,
procedure, discussion, reviews, anecdote, spoof, and news item. Based on the
reason above, the descriptive text is one of genre that must be mastered by
students in learning English. And then the theoretically, according to Ervina
Evawina S (2010:7)descriptive paragraph is a paragraph vividly portrays a person,
place, or thing in such a way that the reader can visualize the topic and enter into
the writer’s experience.
In fact, not all students are able to write descriptive paragraph properly
and in accordance with the existing elements in the descriptive text. Based on the researcher’s observation at SMA N 2 Kisaran contained 75% of students who
were unable to write a descriptive paragraph although there is a media to describe
their mind. Because there is no the new media in writing process, the teacher
always gives some examples to describe something by using things or person as a
media before their describing something. So, there are some students will be
bored and still confused to write descriptive paragraph. Teacher of English also
already taught the material to students well but the students still had the problem
in writing descriptive text. Finally the researcher asked to the students about their
problem in writing descriptive text. One of the students said the media is not
attractive to them in getting the meaning of something before writing descriptive
text.
So, after this statement the researcher has new idea to attract their mood in
writing process. Because attractive media is very well to the students before they
4
is by proposing a teaching media that is interesting, easy, effective, suitable, fun,
and helpful to the students. As we know that some of the students are lazy to
learn. If the teacher has a good media so the students will be better in learning
process especially to write descriptive text.
Based on this situation, the researcher has a new media in writing process.
The media that is used in this study is a Song. In writing process also needed
attractive media to be success on writing process itself. As we know that song is
the familiar method in listening skill. But now the researcher will try to develop
song media in writing descriptive text. In this case, the researcher chooses some
titles of English song especially the song has a moral lesson to the students. Only
song is not enough to attract the students in writing descriptive text. So the
researcher will take the video clip of song itself. After choose some titles of
English song, arranged the lyric, arranged the music arrangement and then
included the video clip, the students will be easier to get the meaning of song and
then the students can write descriptive text. The students can hear the song and
then the students can see that the situation of video clip, so it can be well to
support their mind before describing the meaning of the song. After that, the
students will try to write descriptive text.
By Song with video clip, their mind of describing something will be expected to enhance students’ volition to write descriptive text. And then the
writing process will be running well and the students also happy in learning
English. Because besides the students can hear the song they also can see that the
5
is very suitable to the students with their hobby. As we know that the students like
music in every time to make them be enjoy. Based on the reason above, the
researcher also believes that song can be used as an alternative way in the
language learning.
B. The Problem of The Study
Based on the background of the study, the researcher makes the
identification of study as follow:
1. How is song media developed for better writing descriptive text in the
tenth grade students of SMA N 2 Kisaran?
C. The Objective of The Study
In relation to the problem, the objective of the study is to develop song
media in writing descriptive text especially in the tenth grade of Senior High
School.
D. The Scope of The Study

recount, narrative, procedure, descriptive, etc. Specifically this study focused on
developing song media in descriptive text. And then the song use video clip to
support media development in writing process. In other words, the study will be

E. The Significant of The Study
Findings of this study are expected to provide information which may
have theoretical as well as practical value for English teachers. Theoretically, the
findings of the study later will add some new theories and information in the area
of developing song media in descriptive text. Then, after the many information
and theory of English teacher, so the students also have a good changing. The
findings can motivate the students to be better on writing descriptive text because
there is a song as media to help them in writing process. Meanwhile practically,
the findings become source of reference for the English teachers especially in

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
A. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the research in the tenth grade students at SMA N 2 Kisaran, it can
be concluded that the students are easier to write descriptive text after they heard and
see the new media in writing process. After the researcher had been seen the syllabus
and students’ book which had the material about descriptive text in the tenth grade
student and see the result of need analysis, the researcher found that students often
find the difficulty in writing process especially in describing something, so the media
made by the researcher is helping for them. Using song and video clip as media is
really a good way to attract their imagination or idea before they began to writing
descriptive text. It happened because in this new media there are music, lyric of the
song, picture as appear in the video clip
In the general, students will be active in the learning process if there is an
interesting media which will teachers’ applied to get the best result of transferring the
material in the class room. So in this research, the new product as a media will makes
the students to be creative and perceptive. Then the researcher expects that the
developed media can be applied for teacher in teaching English writing descriptive
44
B. SUGGESTIONS
To be a good English teacher, the teacher should be able to create and use an
interesting way to stimulus the students to be affection in learning English, such as
the media. In teaching learning process especially teaching English, the teacher must
have the different media in every year to the students. So, English teacher are
suggested to apply this media to the students in order to motivate the students to be
interested to learn English, specifically writing. Because the students also need
teachers’ appreciation in the learning process.
On the other side, institution also have to take a part and support the
developing writing media for the students as writing is not difficult skill we do the
most but unfortunately the research about it is less than the other skills.
The researcher also suggests to the other researchers who are interested in this
topic to conduct further studies on developing media in writing descriptive text. The
other researchers are able to use this research as references, especially in the field of
