Fikri Asih Wigati

Abstract

Students with different levels of language proficiency face different writing problems. The lower levels’problems are mainly on their lack of vocabulary and their lack of capability in operating the English grammar. While the upper levels customarily have difficulties in organizing their ideas (Wigati,2014). This research, therefore, was conducted to investigate the use of Poster Presentation in improving the students’ ability in writing an exposition essay. The study was conducted at 3rd semester of English Education Program in one of universities in West Java, Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative research approach by embracing characteristics of a case study design. The data were gathered from several techniques, including classroom observations by the researcher and her colleague, writing assignments results, and interviews. The findings revealed that despite some limitations, the teaching program was successful to improve the students’ ability writing an exposition essay. It is finally suggested that the teachers use the Poster Presentation in teaching writing.
