The Effect of Using Estafet Writing Technique to Enhance Students’ Compositional Efficiency

Abstract

The aim of this research is to learn the impact of the estafet writing technique on student compositional efficiency. Writing is one of the most critical skills students can learn. Yet, for a number of reasons, students often have trouble communicating their teaching. The students face difficulties in writing composition. They have spelling problems, grammar, punctuation, uninterested media, they don’t have enough vocabulary to repeat the same phrases, and they make grammatical mistakes as well. Estafet Writing is one of the active learning techniques and also a creative learning model where one of the students starts writing, which is continued again one after the other. This is one of the easy-to-learn approaches that can teach composition writing effectively.

To achieve the study objective, two parts of Al Noor Preparatory School for Boys (the research sample) were randomly selected to represent the experimental group (37 students) and control group (39 students). The study population includes the fifth year students in the center of the Baghdad Governorate (2019-2020) for the academic year at the Preparatory School for Boys. The researcher had planned evaluations of the performance to be used as pre- and post-test. A T-test formula for two independent samples is used for analysis of the data obtained.

The results of this study show that the performance of students in writing composition is improved, and the students give positive responses after being taught using Estafet Writing Technique.
