This research is experimental research. The research design is pretest and posttest design. The research was done at the second year students of MAN 1 Pekanbaru. This research is strived to investigate whether students who were taught by using descriptive paragraph writing have better scores than those who were not taught by using descriptive paragraph writing in their ability to use simple present tense. In addition, to compare the scores of the students’ ability in using simple present tense who were taught by using descriptive paragraph writing and who were not taught by descriptive paragraph writing. The data collected from two classes, control and experimental classes. Each class received different treatment, one had given descriptive paragraph writing and other was not. To analyze the data the researcher used the t-test, as suggested by Arikunto (2006: 311-312), as shown bellow:     +    + − + − = ∑ ∑ x y x y 2 2 x y 1N 1N N N 2 X Y M M t Based on the research findings, it was found that t-observed (3.89) is higher than t-table at 5% and 1% significant level (2.03 < 3.89 > 2.72). Regarding the result above, (Ha) is accepted and (Ho) is rejected. It means that there is a significant difference on students’ mastery of using simple present tense between students who were taught by using descriptive paragraph writing and who were taught by using conventional one (traditional grammar lesson/grammar-translation approach).
