Abstract This research attempts to improve students’ writing recount achievement by using Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM). The result showed the improvement of students’ writing recount achievement. It was found that the mean of the students’ scores in every test was improved. In the first test, the mean was 53.8 and there was 8.3% of the students who got up 70 points (Minimum Completeness Criteria), in the second test, it was 68.7 and 50% of the students who got up 70 points, and in the last one, the mean was 78.4 and there was 97.2% of the students who got up 70 points. The result of the research showed the progress of achievement scores. Based on the diary note, observation sheet, questionnaire sheet and interview sheet it shows that the students felt enthusiastic, enjoyable, and active in learning recount text through Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM). It can be concluded that Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) gives contribution to improve students’ writing recount achievement.

ABSTRACT This study deals with improving stuudents’ achievement in reading comprehension through natural approach. The objective of this study is to iinvestigate whether there is any significant improvement of the students’ achievement in reading comprehension when it is taught by using natural approach. The subject of the study was Grade XI students of Nasrani 3 Private Senior High School (Sekolah Menengah Atas Swasta Nasrani 3) Medan. There were thirty one students. They were taught by using Natural Approach. The instrument for data collection were teacher made test, observation sheet and questionaire. The techniques of data analysis applied were quantitative and qualitative. In analysing the data, the students were given three reading tests namely, Orientation Test, Test Cycle I and Test Cycle II. The mean of the students’ score for the first reading test as Orientation test was 51.61 the second reading test as Cycle I test was 66.61 and the third reading test as Cycle II test was 76.61. The total percentage of the improvement from the first reading test to the third was 77.41%. the conclusion is that the procedures of natural approach can improve the students’ achievement in reading comprehension. The qualitative data shows that the students were enthusiastic and interested in reading comprehension.
