Keywords: Writing, Teaching Writing, Descriptive Text, Flipped Classroom Writing is a conveying of thoughts and feelings that are put into words. Writing is an activity of communicating ones ideas in a structured written language, which the aims to build an understanding and inform the readers about what the author write. Based on fact on the ground, most of the students have problems in writing ability, especially in descriptive texts. Students have difficulty in developing descriptive texts and lack of time to practice writing in class, so students cannot write descriptive texts well. The objective of the study is to know whether the students who are taught writing descriptive text by using the flipped classroom method have better writing ability. The design of this research was quasi-experimental research with quantitative approach. This research design used to investigate whether teaching using the flipped classroom method is more effective than teaching writing using the direct instruction method. Subjects in this study were taken from two classes in class X SMKN 1 Grogol. First, the AKL 1 class as a control group consisted of 26 students by applying the direct instruction method. Furthermore, the AKL 2 class as the experimental group consisted of 27 students by applying the flipped classroom method. The data or scores were analyzed by ANCOVA using SPSS 21 version. Based on the results of the ANCOVA assumption, there is evidence that; (1) the data is normally distributed, (2) the variance between the experimental and control groups is homogeneous or same, (3) there is no interaction between the pre-test group and the post-test group, and (4) has a linear relationship between pre-test and post-test. From the end of the ANCOVA assumption results indicate that obtaining a significance value of 0.000 is less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). It means that it is quite clear that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. There is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The mean results prove that the experimental group using the flipped classroom method has a higher average than the control group. The results of the study, it can be concluded that the flipped classroom is effective in teaching writing descriptive text for the tenth grade students at SMKN 1 Grogol.
