Abstract

This study aims to find out the effect of genre-based approach (GBA) towards students’ narrative writing. Quantitative study, especially the nonequivalent group design (NEGD) was employed in this study. The samples were two classes of tenth grade of Vocational High School 1 of Serang City (SMK PGRI 1 Kota Serang); one class was selected as the experimental class and the other one as the control class in. The experimental class was taught by using genre-based approach, and the control class was taught by using expository learning. Pre-test and post-test were employed in this research. In the tests the students were required to write a narrative text about a fairy tale. To analyze the data T-test was used by using IBM SPSS Statistic 22 version. The hypothesis testing analysis revealed that the value of t-count at 0.05 level of significance with 68 degree of freedom was 5.682.  It means that t-count was higher than the t-table which was 2.000. It can be inferred that genre-based approach affected students’ writing in narrative text.
