4 Abstrak The study is about the effectiveness of pictures as teaching aids in improving descriptive writing skill of the eighth grade of SMP Negeri 26 Semarang in the academic year of 2008-2009. The objective of this research is to examine to what extent pictures as teaching aids can be applied effectively in the teaching of writing a descriptive paragraph. The population of the research was the eighth grade students. The research methodology was an experiment research, which was conducted in two classes, the experimental (VIII A) and control class (VIII B) as the sample. The VIII A was taught by using pictures, while the VIII B class was not taught by using pictures. The writer gave writing test to gather the data. The test had been tried out before it was used. The main purpose of conducting the try-out was to find out the validity, reliability, difficulty level and discriminating power. The technique used in analyzing the data was t-test formula. It was used to determine whether there was a significance difference between the means of the experimental and control group. The mean of pre test of the experimental group is 68 and control group is 69,4. The mean of post-test of the experimental group is 82.33 and control group is 76.06. The obtained t-test is 4.816, whereas the t-table is 2.00 for α = 5%. The t-test value is higher than the ttable (4.816 > 2.00). Based on the result, pictures are effective as media in improving descriptive writing skill in SMP N 26 Semarang. Finally, the writer suggests to the teachers that they should use pictures as one of the media in teaching descriptive writing.
