A. Background of The Research

In the learning process, students must have writing competence. Writing

competence can make students express their ideas creatively. Meanwhile, writing

is a difficult skill to be mastered by students, especially writing in English. It is

said that students can speak English fluently but they have difficulty in writing

with the correct use of linguistic rules such as composing vocabulary in writing.

Base on Richard and Renandya (2002:303) state in Ratnaningsih (Gardner,

2016), that writing is the most difficult skill for second or foreign language learner

to master. Some students can speak English fluency and confidently, although

they have diffulties in conveying their writing skills.

In school teachers rarely pay attention to student writing and there is no

test to test students’ writing skills for junior high school or senior high school

levels, which is why students’ writing skills are not good.

The writer chooses the Grammaly application as a technique in teaching

writing because the use of this application is in accordance with what is needed by

both teachers and students. By using this application, students can learn and know

how to use vocabulary properly in writing. That is why the writer chose “USING

GRAMMALY APPLICATION TO IMPROVE WRITING SKILL” as the title of

this research.
