Abstract
The aims of this study are describe the implementation and analyze the effectiveness of mind mapping technique in teaching writing recount text. This study utilized a quasi-experimental research design. The population of this study was the tenth grade students of one Senior High School in Purwokerto, West Java which consists of 67 students. Two classes which comprise Class XA as the experimental group which received mind mapping technique and Class XC as the control group which was not provided with specific treatment. The data were collected through classroom observation and test. The data reveal that the experimental group’s mean score increases from 61 to 71 after the treatment. Additionally, the t-test analysis shows that the result was 2.957, which exceeds the t-table value of 2.037 at a significance level of 0.05. This shows that the use of mind mapping technique significantly affect students’ ability in writing a recount text. Based on classroom observation data, all points are checked which confirm the effectiveness of mind mapping in supporting students’ writing.
