The researcher selected the media which were comic strips to make the students interested in learning how to write narrative text. Before implementing the media, the researcher gave a test to know the students’ ability in writing narrative text. In the preliminary study, it was found that there were only 18 (72%) students passed the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM). It was categorized low since the minimum score was 75. In this study, the researcher used Classroom Action Research (CAR) which has four stages. They are planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. Scientific approach was used to make the learning process systematic. There are five steps while using comic strips through scientific approach in learning narrative text; (1) the observing step which lead the students to have a comprehension based on the comic strips that they have observed, (2) the questioning step which made the students tend to be curious about the comic strips, (3) the exploring step which could develop their ideas and creativity to create a narrative text based on the comic strips given and conclude what they have written, (4) the associating step which could develop the students’ critical thinking about the comic strips, and (5) the communicating step which let the students express their ideas and listen to their other students’ ideas about the comic strips. This study was conducted in one cycle consisting of 4 meetings. The researcher acted as the teacher while conducting this study. The subjects of this research were the eleventh grade students of Bahasa dan Budaya program of SMAN 9 Malang consisting of 25 students. Additionally, the implementation was considered to be successful when 80% or 20 out of 25 students passed the passing grade which was 75 in the total score. The researcher found that there was an improvement from the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM) to the last meeting which was the final test. The mean score in the final test was 82,1. It was categorized good. There were 23 (92%) students passed the Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM). Furthermore, most of the students gave positive responses toward the use of the comic strips.

Thesis, Departmen of English, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang. Advisors: (I) Prof. Bambang Yudi Cahyono, Ph.D. (II) Dr. Niamika El Khoiri, M.A. Keywords: Past Tense, Grammar, Recount Text, Language Use Writing, Correlation English plays important roles in international communication. In Indonesia, English is taught as the foreign language. There are four skills that the students have to learn, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing. On the other hand, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar are also taught to support the students to learn those four skills. In this study, the writer investigated the correlation between grammar and writing, specifically the students’ mastery of past tense and their ability in writing recount text. The study was conducted to 60 tenth graders students of SMA Negeri 8 Malang. The writer used two instruments which were multiple choice and completion test to measure the students’ understanding of past tense and their ability in writing recount text. After the test was conducted, the writer analyzed the validity and reliability so that the test could be used as the data. Then the data were calculated using Pearson’s formula to know the correlation between two variables. The results of analysis showed that the correlation coefficient (rxy) was 0.753. It then interpreted by rtabe using 5% of significance. The result was that the rxy 0.753 was higher than the rtable 0.2144. It meant that the null hypothesis was rejected. So, there is a significant correlation between students’ mastery of past tense and their ability in writing recount text. In addition, there was a significant correlation between students’ mastery of past tense and their scores in language use component in writing recount text. It can be concluded that the higher the students’ mastery of the past tense, the higher their ability in writing recount text and the higher the students’ mastery in past tense, the higher scores they get in language use component in writing recount text. It is then suggested that English teachers pay attention to grammar when teaching writing and hopefully they motivated to make better teaching strategy to teach grammar. And for the future researcher who wants to investigate the same topic, they are suggested combine grammar with the different aspects of writing
