Writing is one of the basic language skills that should be mastered by junior high school students. Unfortunately most teachers provide less portion of time for writing activities compared to the portion provided for learning the other skills. The difficulties of teaching writing and time limitation are the most popular reason why writing skill is mostly neglected in English classes. In the preliminary study the researcher found that 8th grade students of SMP Negeri I Singosari had difficulties in writing narrative text especially in terms of content and organization. The teacher usually asked the students to write and submitted it without giving any intervention during the process of writing. The teacher adopted the product oriented approach in teaching writing. It means the teacher didn t assist the students in the process of producing a text. Process writing represents a shift in emphasizing the teaching of writing from the writing product activities to ways in which text can be developed. This approach was chosen to improve students writing ability. Thus the research problem was formulated as follow How can the process writing approach improve the ability of the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri I Singosari in writing a narrative text This problem was more specifically elaborated in the improvement of content and organization of a narrative text. This study used a collaborative action research with one cycle and the cycle consisted of planning the action implementing the action observing and analyzing the action and reflecting of the action. In all the steps of this study the researcher worked collaboratively with the English teacher. The action research was conducted at SMP Negeri I Singosari which was located at Jl. Raya Singosari number 1. The 8H students of SMP Negeri I Singosari were chosen to be the research subjects because these students were the researcher s students in an extracurricular activity. The data of the students progress were taken from pre test writing and final writing which were in the form of narrative texts. The students texts were scored both by researcher and an independent rater who didn t know the students to get objective score. Scores from the researcher and rater were correlated by using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and were significantly correlated at 0.01 level. Based on the finding it can be concluded that through the implementation of process writing approach the writing ability of the 8th grade students in SMP Negeri I Singosari improved. The mean in terms of content improved from 1.91 to 2.37 and in terms of organization improved from 1.86 to 2.23.
