Abstract

One of the important skills in English language learning is writing, which has been widely associated with technology. By using Instagram captions as learning media, this study aimed to improve students' ability to write narrative texts.

This study used the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method. There were 32 tenth grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Mesuji Timur involved in this study. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles. In the first cycle, the conventional approach was used, while Instagram captions were incorporated into the learning process in the second cycle.

The results showed that students' writing scores improved significantly; the average was 58.44 in the pre-test to 78.50 in the second cycle post-test, students' writing scores improved significantly. Most students became more motivated and more active in class. Instagram captions provide students with a creative and relevant platform to help students learn to write. Instagram captions will be increasingly used as a creative medium in the future, and teachers will be encouraged to use similar technologies to improve student engagement and their learning outcomes.
