learning methods (p – value < 0.05) with mean score CALL were higher than TBL.
However, the gender factor did not give significant effect on the students’ writing
achievement (p – value > 0.05). For the third factor, that is interaction factor between learning methods and gender (p – value > 0.05), it means that there is no significant difference on interaction factor.
