The teaching of English includes four skills; they are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Writing skill is regarded as the most important one comparing with the other. The objective of this research is to know whether the students taught using CIRC have better writing skill than the students taught by non CIRC. In order to achieve the objective of research, the researcher designs an experimental research. The subject of the research is the students at the eighth grade of MTs Nurul Islam Kota Kediri. The research design is quasi-experimental design. It is done by comparing two groups, experimental and control groups. Every group consists of 30 students. The experimental class is conducted at 8C taught using CIRC and control class is conducted at 8B taught using non-CIRC. In this study, the researcher gave pre-test and post-test. Then, the result of the test was calculated by using ANCOVA through SPSS 21.0. In the result of pre-test, the mean score of experimental group is 48.17 and control group is 49.03. In the post-test, the mean score of experimental group is 61.70 while control group is 58.33. Then, in the result of ANCOVA shows that the distribution of dependent variable is normal that is p (0.357) > α (0.05). Then, the homogeneity variance of both groups is equal that is p (0.104) > α (0.05). There is no interaction between pre-test and group, as evidenced by p (0.473) > α (0.05) and there is relationship between post-test and pre-test, as evidenced by p (0.001) < α (0.05). In the test result of between-subject effect, the significant is 0.005 is less than 0.05, P (0.005) < α (0.05). From the result, we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. So, it can be concluded that using CIRC is effective in teaching writing to the eighth grade students of MTs Nurul Islam Kota Kediri.
