Writing. Creativity INTRODUCTION 1 The Background of the Study Writing as a creative and productive activity is an ability to produce and deliver a language to other people in a text. Writing is an activity not only to express ideas of thinking result and putting them in written form, but also to make understandable writing by the reader. When someone writes something, he or she is required to be able to communicate with the reader without face-to-face In other word writing is an activity to communicate thought and idea using symbols and Through writing, people may know what the writer wants to share with the reader. For example when teacher asks student to write about their experiences during holidays, the students tries to express what he or she thinks into a text so that the reader or the teacher can understand and even relate to every story that he or she reads. The activity of expressing thought in a text is we called This of course requires expertise, skill and creativity so that the writing can be understood by the reader. By looking at the studentAos writing we also know how far they understand the language. Unfortunately in the case of students studying foreign languages, many find it difficult to create interesting and creative writing, they sometime encounter a series of obstacles in putting their thoughts into writing in a foreign language, these obstacle start from choosing the correct vocabulary until how to arrange them to the correct and understandable sentence. Therefore teachers need various methods to teach students how to write well and correctly in English. Teaching writing is not as easy as we think. We need a good skill and wide understanding of written language. Teaching to write is not like teaching to speak. Teaching to write needs to teach correct grammar to convey messages while speaking is commonly performed in face to face interaction. Based on the writerAos experience when This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License Bilingual: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Vol. 6 No. 2, 2024 DOI: 10. 36985/paw3vk76 e Ae ISSN: 2302 - 6596 teaching a first grade at SMP Negeri 4 Pematang siantar, the students are less interested in writing, they are face a difficulties in writing. From this problem we should give a solution on how to improving studentAos writing skills. So we have to make students interested in writing. Interest is one factor which to influence to study, especially to write. STAD method can be used as an alternative method for teaching writing at SMP Negeri 4 Pematang siantar and it could make students more active in interacting with their friends to solve kind of problems in teaching learning process. 2 The Problem of Study Based on the background of the study the writer identified the problem as: How STAD technique be applied to enhance the studentAos writing creativity? 3 The Objective of the Study Objective of study can be stated as: To describe how the application of STAD teaching technique in enhance studentAos writing creativity II. LITERATURE REVIEW 1 Definition of technique in Teaching Technique is the way or system to teach something. According to Jhon Mc Manama . technique is a conceptual composed of interconnected functions that work as an organic unity to achieve a desired result. According to L. James Harvery . technique is a logical and rational procedure for designing a series of components that are related to one another with the aim of function as a unit in an effort to achieve a predetermined goal. According to writer technique of teaching is the way or method used by someone which is arranged systematically to achieve the goal. Therefore Technique of teaching is a way or method that someoneAos use which aim to achieving a target of learning easily and optimally. In this study the writer using STAD technique as the way to achieve the goal which is to enhance studentAos writing creativity at SMP Negeri 4 Pematang Siantar. 2 Definition of StudentAos Team Achievement Division (STAD) STAD system is one of the simple and most flexible of the cooperative learning method, having been used in second grade up to twelve grades and in such diverse subject area as math, language art, social studies and science. In the cooperative learning techniques, students are assigned to four or five members in groups, with each mirroring the others to make up the class in terms of ability, background, and gender. Cooperative leaning using STAD technique consists of four steps cycle: teach, team, study, test and recognition. The teaching phase begins with presentation of material, students should be told what is they are going to learn and why it is important. In the team study, group members work cooperatively with teacher providing worksheet and answer sheet. Next, each student individually takes a quiz. Use a scoring system that ranges from 0 to 30 points and reflect degree of individual improvement over previous quiz. The criterion can be seen in improvement point table. According to Slavin . 5: . each team receive one of three recognition awards, depend on the average number point earned by them. The writer concluded that STAD is one of the easiest and simplest parts of cooperative In STAD students are asked to work in group consist of four until five students and they are trying together to solve the problem. This technique has been proven to improve studentAos social skill, self-esteem and self-confidence. 3 The Components of StudentAos Team Achievement Division (STAD) Classroom Presentation Material in STAD is introduced in a class presentation. In class presentation, most often direct instruction is conduct by the teacher, but could include audiovisual presentation. Team After the teacher presents the material, the team meets to study worksheet or other material. Sometimes the study involves studentAos discussion of the problem together, comparing answers and correction of any misconception if their teammates make mistakes. Quizzes After approximately one to two periods of teacher presentation and one to two periods of team practice, the students take individual quizzes.

Team Recognition Team may earn certificates or other reward if their average score exceed certain criterion. StudentAos team score also be used to determine up to twenty percent of their grade. 4 The Advantages and Limitation of Student Team Achievement Division The Advantages of Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) . Developing and using critical thinking and group cooperation . Improving the positive relation among the student from different social background implementing the counseling of team . Building the respect and self-esteem in this process Limitation Of Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) . Some students might be confused because they are not accustomed to this treatment . At the beginning the teacher will make some mistakes in managing the class, otherwise the hard and continuous effort will be able to apply this method competently. The Characteristics of Junior High School Students The characteristics of adolescent learner according to Harmer . 1:38,. are : . They seem to be less lively and humorous than adults, . Identity has to be forged among classmates and friends: peer approval may be considerably more important for the students that attention of the teacher, . They would be much happier if such problem did not exist, . They may be disruptive in class, . They have great capacity to learn, have great potential for creativity and a passionate commitment to things that interest them. 6 General Concept of Writing Writing is one language skills that cannot be separated from human beings because every day human being are faced with writing, such as a text on paper, text on computer and even text on short message service (SMS) .

If the students want to deliver their message they have to understand well the communicative purpose. Generic Structure Identification Description Text Source: https://w. Function Identify phenomenon to be described. Describe parts, qualities and characteristics The following are significant lexicogrammatical features of descriptive text: Focus on specific participants Use of attributive and identifying process Use of simple present tense 8 Simple Present Tense Simple present tense is formed by using the simple form of the verb that is form which is listed in the dictionary or it is called infinitive without to. Brewton . 2: . states that the present tense express an action or a state of being in the present. According to Marcella Frank . 2: . simple present tense could be used as follow: This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International License Bilingual: Jurnal Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Vol. 6 No. 2, 2024 DOI: 10. 36985/paw3vk76 e Ae ISSN: 2302 - 6596 To express a habitual action, with adverb like usually, always or often. To state general truth. To express future action, especially with verb of movement or travel such as AocomeAo. AogoAo. AoleaveAo. AostayAo or AoarriveAo. Thomson and Martinet . 9: . state that the simple present tense have the same form as the infinitive but added an AosAo for the third person singular, e. I / You / We / They sing. He / She / It sings. The negative is formed with the present tense negative of the verb, do not the infinitive without do of the main verb. I / You / We / They do not sing. He / She / It does sing. 9 STAD as Applied in Teaching Descriptive Text Being a foreign language learner, many students spend more time to be good writers especially in writing descriptive text as a kind of genre. Students with a good knowledge can be classified as accurate and efficient writers, so as to get the maximum information or idea to write a text, but it is different with student with medium knowledge because sometimes they cannot develop their ideas. Thus to anticipate those problems, the writer gives an alternative teaching technique. Using STAD teaching technique, students are involved in discussing problem together, sharing the difficulties in writing the descriptive text and providing them with knowledge. STAD technique in teaching descriptive text begins with presentation. So it is clear that to teach writing using presentation makes students clear what they should write and easier for the students to 10 Procedure of Conducting Action Research There are some steps in conducting action research. According to Kemmis and Taggart as quated by Mc. Niff . the steps in action research are: Identifying problems and planning the action Acting and observing Reflecting the result of the observation Revision of the planning improvement 11 The Use of Action Research for Teacher As the fundamental aim of action research is to improve practice rather than to produce knowledge Elliot . 1: . this research can be one of the effective ways for English teachers to repair and improve their educational action through cycles of the activities. Based on the explanation above, it is clear that out of the various factors which affect the learning process, the teacher is the most important factor. Teaching Steps Step Prepare Giving the material Team building Action In this step teacher prepares the material that will be delivered to students which will relate to how to write well and correctly, how to write creatively and also look for the material about STAD technique that will be used delivered to students. After the material has been prepared the teacher explains to the students about the materials and also explain in more detail about what is STAD technique. achieve at the end of the learning process A good team in the class is four or five person that half male and half female. The team would also have the higher performer, a low performer and two average performer. 1 Definition of Variables Conclusions drawn (Sugiyono, 2019: .
