Abstract:The objective of this research is to find out whether or not there is a significant effect using guided question technique on students' writing ability in descriptive text. This research is a quasi experimental design. The population of this research is the seventh grade students at SMPN 3 Kota Bengkulu. The sample in this research are about 60 students divided into 2 classes, VII 2 consists of 30 students as the experimental group and VII 3 that consist of 30 students as the control group.

“…Writing is one of skill in English that needs transformation ideas and thoughts into written form. Indriani et al (2019) stated that English was one of the important skills for academic purpose. It was a complex activity because it was not only about making the word into sentences but also working to collaborate the proper vocabulary, grammar, and also mechanic.…”
The purpose of this study was to investigate how students perceive about guided writing as a means of learning descriptive text. Descriptive quantitative method was employed, and a questionnaire served as the data collection tool. Seventy ninth graders from one school in Central Java made up the study's sample. The questionnaire has 16 questions broken down into 4 categories: the effectiveness of the timing, the easiness of using correct spelling, the support from the teacher, the benefits of guided writing. The data analysis showed that students had a favorable impression of guided writing. It also demonstrated the usefulness of guided writing as a teaching method for writing a descriptive text.

The Guided Question Technique (GQT) has recently caught the interest of researchers. Although many studies have explored the effects of GQT on skills like reading and speaking, there are relatively few investigations into its impact on students' writing abilities, specifically in crafting descriptive texts. This paper aims to examine whether the guided question technique (GTQ) can enhance students' writing skills, specifically in composing descriptive texts. To achieve the study's objective, seventy students from SMA Negeri 7 Palu in Indonesia were purposively divided into two groups. One group received treatment from a researcher, while the other did not. The findings demonstrated a notable distinction between the treated and untreated groups. Students who received the treatment performed better in writing descriptive texts than those who did not. The results of this study clearly showed that employing the guided question technique in teaching writing skills was advantageous for intermediate-level students in writing descriptive texts. These findings have implications for teacher and other researchers.
