Abstract
This research aims to increase students’ writing skills through the implementation of the hamburger strategy as realia. The researcher used quantitative research with experimental research to conduct this research. The methodological framework of this study utilized a pre-experimental design, defined as a one-group pretest-posttest model. It means that only one experimental class without a control class. The researcher chose this design because there was only one class of each grade level. This research was conducted within the framework of the eleventh grade at MA Manba’ul Ulum Mambak, located in the Jepara regency, involving a group of 11 students along with one English educator. Data were collected through an essay test. The average results of students in the pre-test indicated a score of 60.9, whereas subsequent to the implementation of the ivestigation, the average results in the post-test surged to 83.0. It shows that there is a significant influence on the post-test results. the findings derived from the hypothesis analysis indicate that the two-tailed significance value is less than the alpha level (0.000 < 0.05), thereby leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The result of analyzing data shows that most of the students showed positive progress. It concluded that the hamburger strategy through realia had a positive effect on students and the teacher.
