Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis karangan deskripsi melalui penerapan Picture Drawing Dictation Technique (PDDT). Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK). Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 40 siswa kelas X IPA3, SMA Negeri 1 Blahbatuh tahun ajaran 2018/2019. Di dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan tiga jenis instrumen sebagai media pengumpulan data yang terdiri dari tes tulis, kuisioner dan catatan lapangan. Data kuantitatif diperoleh melalui tes tulis dan kuisioner yang selanjutnya dianalisis secara deskriptif. Sedangkan data kualitatif diperoleh melalui catatan lapangan dan dielaborasi untuk mendukung hasil temuan. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pada kompetensi menulis siswa pasca penerapan PDDT. Para siswa terlihat mampu menuangkan gagasan-gagasan kreatif mereka kedalam karangan deskripsi yang indah. Selain itu secara kualitatif, peningkatan tersebut ditunjukkan oleh hasil dari pre-test, post-test 1, dan post-test 2 yang dari segi nilai rerata siswa dapat dijabarkan sebagai berikut; 46.90, 70.30, and 81.60. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan siswa dalam menulis karangan deskripsi berangsur meningkat setelah penerapan teknik PDDT ini.
