![]() ![]() Data was collected through surveys, questionnaires, focus group, a teachers’ journal, and students’ written artifacts and analyzed through the grounded theory approach. This qualitative study analyzed the influence of graphic organizers on the development of argumentative written tasks by a group of sixth-grade English learners. Although there has been some increased interest in teaching argumentation at pre-tertiary levels, this remains a relatively unexplored issue in Colombia (and, indeed, much of the developing world), certainly when considering writing in a second language. It is thus urgent to develop their argumentation skills, needed not only for academic success but also later professional life-and, indeed, by participant citizens in democratic societies. Learners are increasingly required to analyze critically information presented in languages other than their first to form reasoned opinions and solve problems. ![]() Keywords: Graphic organizer, Sentence Combining, Interest, hortatory, experiment. The writer also found that since learners generally have more background knowledge, graphic organizers bridge what learners already know with what they are learning. It can be seen from the results of both scores in the experimental class that the scores of the post-test have significantly different comparing to the post-test scores in the control group. The findings of this study indicate that graphic organizer is more effective than the sentence combining strategy. The writer used an experimental research with factorial design 2 x 2 as the research design by technique of multifactor analysis of variance (ANOVA). The experiment was set up according to a pre-test and post-test for both experimental and control group. Two of eight classes were selected as the sample of the research. The subjects of the study were the eleventh grader students of MANU Buntet Pesantren Cirebon in the Academic Year of 2015/2016. ![]() This study examines how students with high and low interest who were trained through graphic organizer differ significantly from those who were trained through sentence combining strategy in writing hortatory text. ![]()
