The data of the test were collected by administering written test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis shows that the value of t-observed is higher than the value of t-table (2,3> 2,00 (α = 0.05)) with the degree of freedom (df) = N-2 = 58. It means that there is significant effect of applying Think-Talk-Write strategy on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. So the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

The instrument for collecting the data was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. After analyzing the data, it was found that the value of t0 (3,561) with the degree of freedom (df)=58 at the level of significance p (0,05) = 2,004. It means that t0 was considerably higher than tt (3,561 > 2,004). The result showed that Discussion Strategy had a significant effect on students’ writing achievement.

Thepercentages of each level were 35%, 45% and 20%.To obtain the reliability of thetest, the writer applied Kuder Richardson formula (KR-21). The result of thecalculation showed that the reliability of the test was 0.83, which means that thereliability of the test is very high. The data was analyzed by using t-test formula.The analysis showed that tobserved is exceeded than ttable (4.10 > 2.00) at the level ofsignificance of 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58.
