The formulation of the research problems are: 1) How is the writing ability of the first grade students at MTsN Bandung before being taught by using alphabet soup game? 2) How is the writing ability of the first grade students at MTsN Bandung after being taught by using alphabet soup game? 3) Is there any significant difference of the writing ability of the first grade students at MTsN Bandung before and after being taught by alphabet soup game? The purpose of this study are to: 1) find out the writing ability of the first grade students at MTsN Bandung before being taught by alphabet soup game, 2) find out the writing ability of the first grade students at MTsN Bandung after being taught by alphabet soup game, 3) find out whether there is any significant difference of the writing ability of the first grade students at MTsN Bandung before and after being taught by using alphabet soup game. The research design in this study is pre-experimental research that uses one group pre-test and post-test design with quantitative approach. The population of this study was all of first grade students of MTsN Bandung on second semester. The sample was VII C class consisting of 44 students.

The statistical analysis using SPSS 16.00 showed that the value of tcount is -17.171 and the significance value is 0.000. The value of ttable with significant level vii (α) 5% was 2.017. Since tcount is higher than ttable (17.171 >2.017) and significance value is lower than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), so the null hypothesis (Ho) which states that there is no significant difference of the writing ability of the first grade students of MTsN Bandung before and after being taught by alphabet soup game is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) which states that there is significant difference of the writing ability of the first grade students of MTsN Bandung before and after being taught by using alphabet soup game is accepted.
