Abstract


This research aims to enhance students' skills in writing procedure texts using the Teams Games Tournament with Pictures Series. The subjects of this study were all 32 students in class IX D at SMPN 12 Pontianak.

Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the use of Teams Games Tournament and Pictures Series were able to improve students' writing skills. This can be seen from the increasement of the students’ mean scores from 76.3 in Cycle 1 to 84.9 in Cycle 2.
