Junior high school students often face difficulties in writing descriptive texts due to a lack of motivation, limited practice, and conventional teaching methods that are less engaging. To address these challenges, Canva is used as an interactive learning tool that is considered capable of improving students’ interest, creativity, and writing skills through a contextual approach. This study is based on Weigle’s writing theory and employs a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire instruments involving 64 students. The results indicate that the use of Canva significantly improves students’ writing skills. The average post-test score for the experimental class reached 70.62, higher than the control class, which only scored 61.78, calculated using SPSS 25.0. A t count (to) with a calculated value of 5.552 > t-table (tt) 1.67 at a 5% significance level proved a significant difference between the two classes. Additionally, students responded positively to the use of Canva because it made the writing process more interesting, creative, and enjoyable, despite challenges such as limited internet access and a lack of experience using design applications. Thus, Canva has proven effective as a learning tool in improving students’ descriptive writing skills. 428 UIN SMH Banten Perpustakaan Pusat SKRIPSI TBI 2607 SKRIPSI TBI 2607 My Library SKRIPSI TBI 2607 31528 2026-03-04 09:03:27 2026-03-04 09:16:15 machine generated
