The quantitative research was to measure the effects of QTS on the Writing performance. The data was taken from an experimental research, involving 30 students in UNSIKA (Singaperbangsa Karawang University) in the English Education program. The 3rdsemester students were randomly selected. 15 students run learning activity with quantum learning method and 15 students studied in control group. The experimental group got particular treatments related to quantum learning method. The treatment for the experimental group was practicing writing through experiencing the 5 steps of The control group was taught in conventional teaching strategy. Both groups pretest and post test to identify their performance on the writing skill improvement. The measurement for both groups was conducted at the same test. In term of quantitative approach, quasi experiment design was used to describe the different result of experimental group and control group. T-test was used to analyze the data to measure the effect of quantum teaching strategy in comparison to Conventional Teaching Strategy (CTS).
