Abstract

The action research was implemented at the sixth grade students of Paramount School Palembang in the academic year of 2020-2021. The study’s aim was to see whether using a group discussion approach could increase the interest and ability of sixth-grade students in writing recount texts. The issue with this study is that the majority of students did not gain basic writing skills competence. The analysis was split into two cycles, each of which included preparation, intervention, observation, and reflection. The results showed that students’ scores improved from pre-cycle to cycle 2. There was only 10% of the class passed the minimum score or KKM in pre-cycle. There were 73% in cycle 1, and 100% passed in cycle 2. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that using Group Discussion Technique to boost students’ writing interest and ability on recount texts from pre-cycle to cycle 2 is a good idea.
