The 27 pupils in class VIII C at MTsN 41 Al Azhar Asy Syarif Jakarta who were 27 girls served as the study's subjects. The methods for gathering data used in this study comprised observation sheets and the output of students' writing regarding recount texts, which were part of the teaching process. Using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods, the research findings were examined. The results of the data analysis in this study show that there is an improvement in writing ability following the application of the genre-based approach, as can be seen from the students' results of each cycle, where the proportion of students who met the success criteria increased when compared to the pre-test results. Pre-test success requirements were attained by 7 students (21.87%), 21 students (65.63%) for the first cycle, and 25 students (78.13%) for the second cycle.
