This research aimed to investigate the enhancement of students’ achievement in writing procedure text by implementing a genre-based approach. The research design of this research was action research. The location of the research is at Akademi Komunitas Negeri Putra Sang Fajar Blitar (AKNPSFB). The research instruments were writing sheet, interviews, observation checklists, and tests. This research analyzed 150 essays by applying descriptive analysis of statistics and essay content. One hundred and fifty students from English Course classes at AKNPSFB submitted their assignment which required them to write a procedure text for 60 minutes in 3 weeks for an English course with credit for 14 weeks. From the analysis, the students' average score continued to increase gradually from 65.60 in the pre-test to 72.15 in Cycle I and to 76.25 in Cycle II. This increase in scores proves that the application of the genre-based approach (GBA) is able to increase students' writing skills in procedure text.
