Abstract

Writing skills are one of the basic skills that help learners to develop critical and creative thinking. Writing anecdotal text, for example, can train learners to think creatively in determining the pattern of ideas in a humorous manner as well as inserting critical ideas. However, in writing anecdote texts there are still many learners who have difficulty (i) determining the theme, (ii) conveying ideas as a whole so that they tend to only provide humorous elements without any criticism, (iii) mastering the right anecdote text structure. The purpose of the study is to explore the application of a single comedy video media in an effort to improve students’ ability to write anecdote texts. A single comedy video was chosen because it is able to present elements of humour as well as satire, so that it can make it easier for learners to understand the structure and content of the text. The research design was a classroom action research (PTK) with two cycles. Each cycle involved planning, action, observation, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, interview, and text writing ability test. The source of the data was the students of class X Automotive of SMKN 12 Malang. The results of this study indicate that the anecdotal text writing skills of SMKN 12 Malang students after using a single comedy video media have increased. It can be seen from the average results of writing anecdotal text in cycle I was 74.37% and the average in cycle II was 86.31%. It can be concluded that a single comedy video media can improve students’ anecdote text writing ability.
