Main Article Content
Abstract
The main objective of this study was to improve students’ ability, in using past continuous tense formula by writing down their life experiences, and also to figure out if the project could be successful in managing the issues faced by the students when dealing with the past continuous tense sentence construction. The theories that were implemented in this research covered the theory about the past continuous tense and theory about the life experience narratives. The method that was implemented in this research was the CAR or Classroom Action Research, while the TaVery Low Based Learning was the approach applied in the teaching process. The results of this research showed that after writing down their personal life experiences for several times the students can significantly improve their level of writing ability in the past continuous tense forms, which can be clearly seen in the increasingly growing higher of their scores of writing tests that should use the past continuous tense.
