(4) the students who have low linguistic intelligence linguistic, there is a difference in the score of the recount text writing skills English language students better used teaching techniques (CIRC) than the group of students with teaching techniques (STAD), (Qhit = 10.18> Qtab = 3.15 at level α = 0.05 and α = 0.01).
