Writing is usually considered the most difficult skill of English to master. In junior high school level students face some problems in writing. Most of the students perform poorly in their writing. Based on the researcher s interview with the students the major problems faced by them are how to generate ideas and how to organize the ideas well. To overcome the problems an outlining strategy in the form of word webs is proposed to be applied in teaching writing. The technique is chosen because it is simple and good for students in the junior high school level. To generate and organize their ideas well students have to answer WH-questions in the word webs. The objective of the study is to increase students writing ability in generating and organizing their ideas for writing recount compositions using outlining strategy. Classroom Action Research (CAR) is used in this study. The research is conducted in two cycles each cycle covers planning an action implementing the action observing the action and reflecting on the observation. The subjects were the students of class VIII.G of SMP 10 Malang which consisted of 35 students. There were three kinds of data gained the students scores the result of interviews and field notes. The data gained from the interviews were converted into a description of the students responses toward the implementation of the technique. The field notes were presented into an explanation describing the students attitudes and the condition of the classroom. The result of the research showed that the outlining strategy in the form of word webs effectively increased the students writing ability in generating and organizing ideas of writing recounts. The scores of the students writing in Cycle 2 significantly increased compared to the scores of the students writing in the preliminary study. The significant improvement of the students scores might also have been influenced by the following additional factors more time provided to think and practice writing recount compositions and an opportunity for students to choose their own topic. Based on the result of this study it is suggested that English teachers apply the outlining strategy in the form of word webs in the teaching of writing recount to increase students writing ability in generating and organizing their ideas well. In addition further researchers are suggested to use more respondents in different setting and conditions to see whether the technique can be implemented effectively.
