Students' ability in writing reviews is one of the writing skills objectives as stated in the Standard-Based Curriculum and Assessment Document (DSKP) of the Malay language subject. The skills of writing reviews involve the process of transferring information that is heard, watched, or read in a form of a review. For some students, mastering the skills of writing a review is difficult because they lack of vocabulary, ideas, information transfer skills and paragraph arrangement skills. As a result, the reviews produced by students are too short, do not fulfil the requirements of the title and are unclear in terms of the descriptions of their main and supporting ideas. However, the failure of students in mastering it can be overcome by selecting effective learning methods to stimulate students' thinking skills. To overcome this, the learning method using the mnemonic technique, a process of remembering information more easily, can be implemented. The mnemonic technique implemented in this study is an acronym technique that can help students to quickly produce an outline and write a good review. In addition, the acronym technique used can also improve the skills of finding main ideas and processing supporting ideas of reviews among students.
