Abstract— This study was motivated by the low poetry-writing skills of Grade VIII A students at SMP Negeri 1 Kapas, as indicated by their difficulties in determining themes, selecting appropriate diction, and organizing poems coherently. The purpose of this study was to improve students' poetry-writing skills through the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model assisted by word card media. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Arikunto model, which consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 32 students of Grade VIII A at SMP Negeri 1 Kapas. Data were collected through poetry-writing tests and classroom observations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings demonstrated that the use of word card medium in conjunction with the CTL paradigm enhanced students' ability to write poetry. From 53.9 in the pre-action phase to 71.2 in Cycle I and 81.9 in Cycle II, the average score rose. Additionally, mastery of classical learning rose from 19% in the pre-action stage to 56.25% in Cycle I and 90.6% in Cycle II. The elements of subject, diction and figurative language, imagery, rhyming, and typography also showed improvements. Thus, using word card media in conjunction with the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach is a good way to help students become better poets.
