The four language skills that must be mastered by students include listening skills, speaking skills, reading skills, and writing skills. Among the four skills, writing skills are the least possessed by students. This can be seen from the value of the assignments given to students. This value does not meet the minimum completeness requirement of 75. Students only complete sober assignments without want to try as much as possible. This problem was also confirmed by the results of the interviews, which stated difficulties and confusion in understanding the assignments given, and even students had difficulty expressing ideas in written form. The purpose of this research is to improve students' writing skills through the application of task-based learning worksheets model. The research method is classroom action research. The sample used was 25 students, and the data collection technique used was observation and testing. The increase in writing ability occurred in cycle III.
