It means writing is one of the language skills to express idea, thought, feeling and opinion in written form (Bull, 2. Pardiyono,( 2. said that writing is communicative act. it is a way of sharing information, thoughts, experiences, or ideas, between ourselves and others. Furthermore, according to Ghaitzh . , writing is a complex process that allows the writers to explore thoughts, and ideas, and make them visible concrete. Thereby, it is understandable that writing is supposed to be difficult language skill. Writing is not a skill acquired naturally by a man just like speaking. It is culturally a specific learned behavior (Brown, 2. In line with BrownAos opinion. Harmer . stated that Auwriting is not a skill that can be acquired by picking it up from exposureAy. In other words, the two experts assert Online at https://journal. id/index. php/humanitatis/ DOI : https://doi. org/10. 30812/humanitatis.

ISSN (Onlin. : 2338-9362 : 2477-2267 that in order to acquire writing skill normally needs some forms of instruction from someone else. Writing emerges in society because spoken language cannot fulfill communicative needs which resulted from cultural change. Sugianto . stated that Auone of successful writing in using grammatical system is to convey oneAos intended meaning. Barnet & Marcia ( 1. said that writing is considered as the most difficult skill since it involves several components including contents, organization, vocabulary, grammar structure, and mechanic. Cohen . also stated that Auassessing of writing task such as content, organization, grammatical structure, vocabulary, and mechanic . pelling, punctuation, and capitalizatio. Ay. Assessing writing means how teacher give score of writing to students. In this research, the researcher assessed the studentsAo writing using CohenAos theory. Writing skill becomes important because of the progress of knowledge, information and Moreover, teaching writing is not easy. Besides, teachers must be creative to determine appropriate technique in teaching writing activity especially for many genres of the text such as narrative, descriptive, recount, procedure, news item, and report text. All of the texts have important position to be used as object of learning in every day. Descriptive text is one of texts that should be taught at school. A descriptive text is a genre of text that provides illustration about place, thing, and person in detail. In line with the problem above. Draw Label Caption strategy is offered as an alternative in teaching descriptive text. According to Bull . that Drawing is Auart or skill of making pictures, plants, etc. Ay Label is Aua small piece of paper or put a label on something in a particular way. Caption is a short piece of text under a picture in a book, magazine or newspaper which describes the picture or explains what the people in it are doing or saying. That is a strategy which is used to make the students easier in writing the text in English especially descriptive text, so that Draw Label Caption strategy can help the students to do it. In this case, there are three stages of Draw Label Caption. Firstly, draw stage in which the students draw anything that they want. Secondly, label stage in which the students give name in every drawing in detail. The last is caption stage in which the students change names of the drawing to become a sentence. Finally, the students are demanded to cluster sentences to be a An observation is conducted by the present researcher at SMA Hang Tuah Mataram. When students follow English learning process especially writing, the researcher find that students in learning have a difficulty to write even the simple sentence or words, the students often do the simple mistake when the teacher asks to write simple short sentence or words. such as students have no an idea what to write and how to write in simple way. It problems occur because of the students are not accustomed and lack of interest so that is why the students hard to understand teacher instruction when they are in learning process.

ISSN (Onlin. : 2338-9362 : 2477-2267 Some problems above are caused by two factors: the factor from a teachers and factor from the students themselves. Factor shortage of teachers in the learning process among others, lack of teachers' skills in teaching using media and technology education so that the learning process is not effective and efficient, delivery of a material is traditionally supposed to be changed by using the method or the new strategy so that students are interested and not bored during the learning process and the latter approach is the lack of teachers who have a good care to the students in learning so that teachers do not know the characteristics of their students. The shortage of students comes from factor of internal and external. Internal factors such as factor physiological effect on the brain's ability of students and factors psychological effect on the feelings of the students, while factors external can come from social factors that influenced by the environment of parents and the community which have a major impact to the students that can not to be denied during the process of learning progress. This occurs because of the way teachers in teaching do not interest for students, teachers have to be more creative and innovative in teaching by implementing a new method or strategy that can make students happy and suggested when learning. It can be concluded that the role of teachers and students in the process is important in order to achieve quality education as expected. When the students learn English, they have to reduce a stress. The teacher may not give many difficult exercises that make them stress. The teacher should to make the class relax and not boring. order to make the students interest when they learn English, there is some method to teach especially in Teaching Writing. As a teaching media. Draw Label Caption is needed and very essential to clarify information, especially in teaching vocabulary. Draw Label Caption is also used to help teacher to improve the effectiveness of teaching learning activity as well. Based on the phenomenon above, the present researcher intends to investigate Authe effectiveness of Draw-Label-Caption strategy in teaching writing of descriptive text to the students of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram. RESEARCH METHOD Research Design Sugiyono . divides experimental research design into four, namely pre-experimental, true experimental, factorial experimental and quasi experimental. In this research, the present researcher chose pre-experimental design by using one group experiment which is called one-group pretest-posttest design. In this case, the present researcher investigates the difference both in pre-test and post-test result before and after giving treatment by using Draw Label Caption strategy. This research belongs to experimental. The present researcher chose pre-experimental design by using one group experiment which is called one-group pretest-posttest design.

In class 2A consist of 28 students and in class 2B consist of 20 students, it means that total of the population there are 48 students. In this research, the present researchers take one class (Class 2A) which consists of 28 students at the second grade students of SMA Hang Tuah Mataram as the sample of this research. The instrument of this research uses two tests . re-test post-tes. , the test is used to find out whether or not Draw Label Caption is effective in teaching writing of descriptive text. The test is given in the beginning and in the end of the treatments. The test is in form of writing test.
