This study aims to quantitatively investigate the effect of Critical Incidents Technique on students’ writing aspects, particularly vocabulary, language use, and mechanics. The design of this research is pre-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design. The sample of this study was taken through purposive sampling based on the students’ writing score in EFL class. The students’ writing aspect was successfully improved through Critical Incident Technique (CIT) based on the writing score. This can be seen on the students’ mean score in three aspects of writing in pre-test was 48,39, while the students’ mean score in post-test was 81,50. There were 33,11 points differences between the students’ mean score in pre-test and post-test. This implies that students’ writing in content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanic aspects can be improved using CIT. Although this research employs only quantitative design, it is recommended to have further investigation using qualitative study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
