Concerning the second criterion was if more than 80% the students achieve the score greater than or equal to 60 and the finding showed that 71.88% (in cycle I) 84.38% (in cycle II) of students already achieved scores greater than 60. Based on the findings it can be concluded that VSTF method is effective to improve the students grammatical competence in writing and the students involvement in the teaching-learning English. Therefore English teachers are suggested to implement this method in their English class particularly in the writing activity.
