The formulation of the research problems are: 1) How is the students’ score in writing before being taught by using WH question technique? 2) How is the students’ score in writing after being taught by using WH question technique? 3) Is there any significant difference score of the students’ before and after being taught by using WH question?

T Count 14.000 and the value of t Table on the score t 0,05 1.782, it is know that t Count is bigger than t Table (t Count > t Table) = (14.000> 1.782).
