The first result showed that there was significant difference in students’ writing skill between experimental class who was taught by using SRSD method and control class who was taught using conventional method. It could be proven from the result of t- test independent with the value of t was 1.78 of pre-test and the value of t of post-test was 1.74. It was higher than t table (α 0.05) = 1.67. The second result showed that experimental group gets better achievement than control group. It was shown by the mean of post- test of experimental (73.61) was higher than the mean score of control class (70.57). In addition, the computation of t-test non independent showed that t value of SRSD method (10.37) was greater than t value of conventional method (9.05) with α = 0.05 and df = 26.
