This study is categorized as quasi experimental research design. The population of this study is all the eight grade students of SMPN 3 Tangerang Selatan. In selecting the sample, the researcher uses purposive sampling and the students of class 8.6 and 8.7 of SMPN 3 Tangerang Selatan are chosen as the sample. The data collecting is done by giving the test (pre-test and post-test). The researcher uses T-test formula to analyze the difference of students� score in experimental class (teaching writing of descriptive text by using guided questions) and the controlled class (teaching writing of descriptive text without using guided questions). Based on the data analysis, the researcher find that to > tt = 6.15 > 1.7 in significance level 5% and to > tt = 6.15 > 2.4 in significance level 1%. It means that there is obvious difference between the average score from the result of teaching descriptive text in experimental class and controlled class. Thus, it can be inferred that teaching descriptive text by using guided questions is effective to improve the students� score in writing.
