Obtined from sampling XI IPA 3 as an experimental class (36 learners) and XI IPA 2 as the control class (38 learners). The validity of the instrument using content validity and construct validity. Reliability is calculated with the formula Alpha Cronbach and get the result r11 = 0,715. Analysis of the data in this study using t-test. Based on the results of the data shows tobtained 3,845 greater than ttable 1,993 with significance level α = 0,05 and df = 72. This means that there is a positive und significance difference in learning achievement German writing skills between the experimental class and the control class. The average post-test experimental class was 12,944 higher than control class is 11.974. This means that the students value in experimental class is better than in control class.
