and implication of using WhatsApp to the students’ writing skills. This study was

believed that the integration of mobile learning with language learning field has
amazing outcomes to the students’ foreign and second language learning

of WhatsApp in writing classes was done through pre-writing, drafting, reviewing,
editing, and publishing as well as building the field stage, modelling the text type,
and joint construction. In line with the effects, results, significance, and
implication of the secondary data sources, it is found that they happen due to two
main reasons. First, the students were interested in using the smartphones in
teaching process. They already used these phones almost all the time in different
things; chatting with each other, writing their comments to their friends, sending
messages and all of these are for free. Second, the idea of feeling free in time and
place to learn something new was effective. They could write what they wish to
learn at any time and place. In conclusion, the students were stimulated to learn
the aspects of writing through the use of WhatsApp that further affected their
writing skills.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis, mendeskripsikan, dan
menjelaskan tentang penerapan WhatsApp di kelas menulis dan pengaruh, hasil,
signifikansi, dan implikasi penggunaan WhatsApp terhadap keterampilan menulis
siswa. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara deskriptif melalui Library Research Design
dimana data yang diteliti dikumpulkan dari sumber sekunder berupa artikel yang
dilakukan dalam kurun waktu 2015-2019 . Selain itu, penggunaan WhatsApp di
kelas telah banyak diteliti dan diselidiki oleh para peneliti dalam beberapa tahun
terakhir. Diyakini bahwa integrasi pembelajaran mobile dengan bidang
pembelajaran bahasa memiliki hasil yang luar biasa bagi pengalaman belajar
bahasa asing dan bahasa kedua siswa. Selain itu, analisis data deskriptif
menunjukkan bahwa penerapan WhatsApp di kelas menulis dilakukan melalui
pra-menulis, drafting, review, editing, dan publishing serta membangun field
stage, memodelkan jenis teks, dan joint construction. Sejalan dengan efek, hasil,
signifikansi, dan implikasi dari sumber data sekunder, ditemukan bahwa hal itu
terjadi karena dua alasan utama. Pertama, siswa tertarik menggunakan
smartphone dalam proses pembelajaran. Mereka sudah menggunakan ponsel ini
hampir sepanjang waktu dalam berbagai hal; mengobrol satu sama lain, menulis
komentar mereka ke teman-teman mereka, mengirim pesan dan semua ini gratis.
Kedua, gagasan untuk merasa bebas dalam waktu dan tempat untuk mempelajari
sesuatu yang baru adalah efektif. Mereka dapat menulis apa yang ingin mereka
pelajari kapan saja dan di mana saja. Kesimpulannya, siswa dirangsang untuk
mempelajari aspek menulis melalui penggunaan WhatsApp yang selanjutnya
mempengaruhi keterampilan menulis mereka.
