Moreover, writing is the result of organizing ideas in mind into written form. It is different from reading or listening where someone only received an information. There are some strategies that can be used in teaching writing especially in writing procedure text. One of the strategies is Think-Talk-Write strategy. The Think-Talk-Write strategy is a cooperative learning mode to make teaching and learning process more manageable. The formulation of the research question was: Is there any significant different scores in writing procedure text between the students taught and not taught by using Think-Talk-Write strategy? This research aimed to know whether there is significant difference score in writing procedure text between the students taught and not taught by using Think-Talk-Write strategy. In this research, the researcher used quasi-experimental research design with two groups as the subject of the research. The first group as control group and the second one as experimental group. The population of this research were all of ninth grade students at MTs Fathul Hidayah Pangean Lamongan. The samples in this research were IX A Class that consisted of 24 students and IX B Class that consisted of 25 students. The research instrument in this research was test. The researcher used Independent Sample T-test formula by using SPSS program 16.0 version to analyze the data. The finding showed that Think-Talk-Write strategy was effective to be used in teaching writing especially in writing procedure text. The effectiveness of using Think-Talk-Write strategy can be shown in the following points: 1) the mean score of students on pre-test taught by using Think-Talk-Write strategy was 51.75, and the mean score of post-test was 77.29. The gain of the mean score was 25.54. 2) the mean score of students on pre-test taught without using Think-Talk-Write strategy was 50.60, and the mean score of post-test was 66.72. The gain of the mean score was 16.12. 3) the result of T-test at significance level of 0.05 showed that the significant values (sig-2 tailed) was 0.000, and it has to be divided into two since we have one-tailed test (0.000 : 2 = 0.000). Since 0.000 was smaller than 0.05 (0.00 < 0.05). The result means that there is significant different score in writing procedure text between the students taught and not taught by using Think-Talk-Write strategy. Thus, Think-Talk-Write strategy can be used as alternative strategy in teaching writing especially in writing procedure text
