ABSTRACT
This
experimental study is aimed at finding out whether there is any significant
influence of learning technique, self-concept, and vocabulary mastery towards students’
writing ability. Two kinds of learning techniques, Mind Map and Conventional,
were implemented on 173 English Education Study Program students of STKIP PGRI
Bandar Lampung. The data of this 2x2x2 factorial design research were analyzed
by using three-way ANOVA technique. From the research results it can be
concluded that there is a significant influence of learning technique towards
students’ writing ability. The students taught by using the Mind Map technique
have higher writing ability compared to those taught by the Conventional
technique. Furthermore, there is an interaction effect between learning
technique, self-concept, and vocabulary mastery towards students’ writing
ability. Based on the whole conclusions, it can be implied that Mind Map
technique is most appropriate to be implemented on the students with positive
self-concept and high vocabulary mastery.
