Therefore, in teaching writing teachers should have a creative way to make students learn writing easily.

The aims of this study: (1) to find out the effective techniques between Roundtable and Think Pair Share combined with picture as media, (2) to know students’ perception about those techniques. The T-test post-test showed that Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.001 and t-test was 7.932. The test result showed significant improvement of students’ writing achievement in both group.Therefore, both techniques combined with picture were effective to teach writing of descriptive text. However, there was a significant difference between post-test scores in both group.
