It is consulted with t-table on the significant level (α) of 5% and the degree of freedom (df) is 58. The t-table obtained is 1.672. It proves that t-ratio is higher than t-table (3.443 > 1.672), so the hypothesis of the research is accepted.
The conclusion of this research is that students who are taught by using Round Robin Technique get better writing achievement than students who are taught by using Four Square Technique. Round Robin Technique is proven to be one of the effective techniques to make students interested in learning writing.
