This study aims to determine the level of students' ability to write expository texts through a constructivism approach. The class that was used as the experimental class was class X MIPA A, which amounted to 35 students with a sample that would be used as many as 30 students. The data of this research is an essay test instrument which is carried out at the time of the pre-test before the learning process is carried out, and the post-test which is carried out after the learning process is carried out. From the results of the study, the average pre-test was 60.63, and the post-test average was 81.93. From the results of hypothesis testing, it was obtained that tcount < ttable at the 95% confidence level or 1-5 percent, namely 0.7428 <2.0450, so the average post-test value in the experimental class was significant. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that learning using a constructivist approach can help improve students' ability to write expository texts, which can be seen from the average value of pretest to posttest.
