In
global era, writing is very important competence. It is because nowadays people
who use technology as their mean of communication seem to be impossible
separated from the activity of writing, from simplest one like sending short message
through mobile phone and the more complex like making via mail. Furthermore the
importance of writing is also seen from the fact that the skill of writing is necessary
for people in modern era like job acceptance. Therefore students are expected to
be capable of making a good writing.
Writing
is basic language skill that becomes the complex skill to master for the learners.
As we know that writing is a productive skill that involves the way to generate
and organize the ideas in written form. People need to learn English writing because
it is a process of transforming thought and ideas into written language.
Hermenita and Yuli (2013) also state that writing is one of the language skill that
must be mastered by English Learners. They have to able to express their
thoughts in writing to develop their ideas, and makes readers interested when
their writing red. Through writing, they can also transferred information and
knowledge to others. In other words, writing could be said as a mean of
communication between the writer and the reader. Writing has become an issue
that causes a lot of worry for students.
In
fact, Indonesia students’ writing skill in English language is very low. It was
found that most of Indonesian students are still difficult in comprehended the text.
The results of research Program for International Student Assessment (2010)
show that Indonesian student just got the 39th rank from 42 surveyed countries
in Asia, slightly Above Albania and Peru. It show us that writing skill is
still problem for Indonesian students. In Junior High School, there are many
kinds of texts that should be learnt by students, one of them is Monologue text.
it is like descriptive, report text, narrative text and etc. All of kinds of text
should be comprehended by students, especially descriptive text, because this is
one of texts which is very important and need to be mastered by students.
Based
on researcher’s experience in Teaching Practice Program (PPL) at SMP, it is found
that the students’ ability in writing is still low. There are many aspects that
make students’ ability in writing low : The students’ understanding in writing descriptive
text is low, the students’ ability of arranging idea in writing descriptive text
is not systematically. Besides, the students think hard to produce writing.
Therefore,
the researcher had new strategy in teaching writingnamely Content Purpose and Audience

(2005 : 9) defines this strategy is a concept of writing in which the writer makes
a chart to organize the point about what he/she wants to share the content includes
the most important think the author want the audience to know and the importance
piece that help reader to lock key idea. The purpose of the piece expressed in
terms of what the author would like to the audience to think after they have finished
reading. The audience means the reader of the piece.
Unfortunately,
CPA strategy still had yet to be introduced in many schools. Therefore the
researcher wants to apply CPA strategy to increase students’ writing skill
especially writing descriptive text. For that reasons, the researcher was conducted
a research entitles The Effect of Applying Content Purpose and Audience ( CPA )
