Kata Kunci : Kemampuan Menulis, kelas IPS, kelas Bahasa
Kemampuan menulis adalah penyampaian dari penjelasan secara tertulis yang tentunya membutuhkan praktik atau mengekspresikan ide apa saja yang ada didalam pikiran kita dalam bentuk daftar, surat, esai, laporan atau novel. Hal itu sudah diajarkan oleh guru bahasa Inggris pada siswa kelas sebelas SMA 1 Mejobo Kudus yang belajar di kelas IPS dan Bahasa. Untuk itu, guru bahasa Inggris harus selalu membantu meningkatkan kemampuan menulis para siswa.
Kelas IPS adalah kelas yang mempelajari pelajaran tentang ilmu sosial itu sendiri dan hanya mempelajari bahasa Inggris secara terbatas.
Kelas Bahasa adalah kelas yang mempelajari pelajaran tentang bahasa, khususnya bahasa Inggris.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui perbedaan signifikan antara kemampuan menulis antara siswa kelas sebelas SMA 1 Mejobo Kudus yang belajar di kelas IPS dan Bahasa pada tahun ajaran 2012/2013.
Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian ex post facto. Populasi dari penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas sebelas SMA 1 Mejobo Kudus tahun ajaran 2012/2013.
