ABSTRACT Doni Alfaruqy. S891302016. 2014. The Influence of Cooperative Writing Technique to Teach Writing Skill Viewed from Students Creativity (An Experimental Research at the Fourth Semester of English Department of Slamet Riyadi University in the Academic Year of 2013/2014). First Consultant: Dr. Ngadiso, M.Pd. Second Consultant: Dr. Sumardi, M.Hum. Thesis. Surakarta. English Education Department. Graduate School. Sebelas Maret University. This research aims at finding out whether: (1) Cooperative Writing is more effective than Guided Writing in teaching writing to the fourth semester students of Slamet Riyadi University; (2) the fourth semester students of Slamet Riyadi University having high creativity have better writing skill than those having low creativity; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching techniques and students creativity to teach writing. This experimental research was conducted at Slamet Riyadi University in the academic year of 2013/2014. The population of the research is the fourth semester students of Slamet Riyadi University. Two classes were taken by using cluster random sampling. The class B was used as the experimental class and class A as the control class. Each of classes consists of 24 students. In collecting the data, several steps were applied: (1) giving creativity test to know student s level of creativity; (2) conducting teaching techniques to teach the students; (3) carrying out post-test; (4) analyzing the students writing scores. The data were obtained from creativity test and writing test. Furthermore, to analyze the data, the researcher applied descriptive and inferential statistics using ANOVA. The findings of the research are: (1) the students who are taught using Cooperative Writing technique have better writing skills than those who are taught using Guided Writing technique. In other words, the use of Cooperative Writing technique is more effective than Guided Writing technique; (2) the students who have high creativity have better writing skills than those who have low creativity and; (3) There is no interaction between teaching techniques and students creativity to teach writing. Therefore, Cooperative Writing technique is an effective technique to teach writing skill both for students having high and low creativity. On the other hand, Guided Writing technique is not effective technique for teaching writing skill both for students having high and low creativity. Keywords: writing skill, cooperative writing technique, guided writing technique, creativity, and experimental study. v
