Abstract

Numerous researches related to stop motion animation as a learning media to compose a short story needs to be developed because writing skill cannot be separated from everyday life, especially language learning in school. This study aims to investigate the factors that influence the students’ writing ability in composing a short story, the perceptions about the use of stop motion animation, and the methods that were appropriate to the use of stop-motion animation as a learning media. This research was a qualitative study with a case study approach. The data collection technique used was in-depth interviews with several students and teachers as well as classroom observations. The results revealed that there were some issues encountered by the students in writing a short story, namely the students met some difficulties in expressing their thoughts and developing them into a short story and the students’ limitation of vocabularies. Teaching-learning process using the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) method accompanied by stop motion animation as a media gained the students’ optimal learning to write a short story. Stop motion animation made the students joined the class enthusiastically.
