  • According to the t-test analysis of the post-test result, it was proved that there was a statistically siginificant difference between the mean score of the experimental and control classes since the value of Sig.2-tailed was less than 0.05. The mean score of the experimental class was 65.83 while the mean score of the control class was 59.21. Theoretically, the experimental class gained a better achievement because of the application of CALL as a writing medium. In this case, the Storybird website contributed to the students’ narrative writing achievement in several aspects: 1) its artworks could help the students to develop the content, organization and vocabulary of their writing, 2) it facilitated the language use of the students’ writing since they were able to publish their story, receive the teacher’s feedback and peers’ comments, and edit their story, and 3) its Storymaker editor helped the students to use correct spelling in their writing. In addition, bringing the website into the writing class as a new and innovative medium could increase the students’ excitement, motivation and interest to be involved in the teaching and learning activities. From the description, this research was finally drawn on conclusion that there was a significant effect of using Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) on the tenth grade students’ narrative writing achievement of MAN 1 Jember in the 2013/2014 academic year.
