Description
Summary:This present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Process Genre and Product Genre Approaches to teach writing to introvert and extrovert students. A quasi-experimental study with 2x2 factorial designs was conducted to gain answers. Data were collected by using Myers Briggs Type Indicator, observation notes and a pre-and-posttest. Data were analyzed by using T-test, Two-Way Anova, and Tukey test. The findings revealed that first, Process Genre Approach was significantly effective to be used to teach writing to both the introvert and extrovert students; while, the Product Genre Approach was only effective to be used to teach writing to the extrovert students. Second, quantitatively, the Process Genre Approach was not significantly more effective to be used to teach writing compared to the Product Genre Approach. Third, the students‟ personalities significantly influenced their writing quality, in which the extrovert students‟ writings were better than the introvert students‟ writings. Fourth, there was a significant interaction occurred between the teaching approaches and the students‟ personalities on their writing quality. Based on the study results, the researcher suggests English teachers to consider using Process Genre Approach in their writing classes and identify each student‟s personality in the very beginning of lessons, acknowledging that the students‟ personalities significantly influence the students‟ writing quality.
