The findings show that Think Pair Share is significantly improve students' cognitive ability, the English writing ability. However, the results of the t-test analysis did not reflect a significant increase in student literacy awareness and individual accountability. The increase occurred in the atmosphere of the learning process where there was a reduction in students with smartphone dependency in learning outside of learning interests and the tendency of students to try to find online learning resources through electronic dictionaries, unfortunately this impact was not significant enough to be seen significantly from quantitative data.
