Improving Students’ Writing Abilitiy Through Text Procedure
(An Experiment at Class 3 Students of MTSS Al Furqan Bambi)
By
Elhidayat

INTRODUCTION

1.      The Background of Study
Language as a main tool of communication is very important to learn. Language makes us easy to interaction each other. Because of it, many languages are used in the world. English as international language becomes a study which is forced to be learnt. It is not only used for communication but also used for keeping up with the development of technology and science. Many occupations need someone who has mastered English skills well. English has four skills; they are speaking, listening, reading, and writing. All of the skills are highly required.
Some countries use English as second language. For example, Malaysia and Singapore. In Indonesia, English as foreign language. Because of that, English becomes a difficult study to be learnt. People think that they do not need English to communicate in their daily activities because they can use their own language. For students, they only get a few times to learn or practice English in school. So, they are not interested and always be shy to use English.
For people who work in the typing house, they usually reject the typing about English. It causes they have to spell letter by letter every type it. So like that for students, they are lazy to write because what that they read is different with what that they have to write. They do not have enough vocabulary and they are afraid to make something wrong with the grammar, too. Therefore they think that writing is boring activity and it is uninteresting for them.
Referring to above condition, the writer believes that writing is a skill that needs extra works to be mastered. The purpose of teaching writing is to improve students’ ability to function effectively in such written context. Writing, for obvious reasons,  is one of the most visible products of education, and incorect usage and spelling havew been taken to be signs or a personal scholastic failure and an alleged widespread deterioration of writing ability and indication of inadequacies in whole scholl systems. So, it is not surprising that some countries or school system have begun to assess systematically the efficacy of the teaching and learning of writing (Takala, 1988:4). Writing plays an important role in which speaking can not to fulfill the communicative needs. Crimon (1983) said that writing is hard work. Therefore students need a lot of practices to apply their writing ability. Writing is an effective way to communicate and express our thoughts, feelings, and opinions to others. Writing has function to entertaining and making fun. There are a variety of ways to use writing in our everyday live. For example we can write about the cake receipt. Writing skill helps the learners gain independent, comprehensibility, fluency and creativity in writing. If learners have mastered these skills, they will be able to write so that not only they can read what they have written, but others speakers of that language can read and understand it.
As a teacher, teaching is not an easy job but it is necessary one and can be very rewarding when we see out students’ progress and know that we have helped to make it happen. Based on the concept and function of English as stated in the 2006 Competence-Based Curriculum which has similar principle with Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) for SMP/MTs, the teaching-learning of English has the purpose to develop four skills.
Many teachers are also strongly committed to invite students to participate effectively in writing situations. The teachers have some texts for help them in teaching writing. The texts are purposeful and patterned to serve writer purpose. Each texts type has different social function, general structure, and language feature. There are many kinds of text that are studied in junior high school students, namely narrative, descriptive, recount, report, and procedure.
The study will be focused on writing a procedure text which one of the materials in English lesson for SMP/MTs especially on the third year students. Procedure is one of text that is to help the readers how to do, use, or make something completely. Sometimes, the students create the procedure text without care about the generic structure specifically. They also get problem in using imperative verb and temporal conjunction. So, the result of learning procedure text is not optimal.
Finally, based on the writer experiment and observation, the writer chooses MTsS Al Furqan Bambi to conduct the research. I would like to take this school because most of learners at MTsS Al Furqan Bambi are lazy to learn English especially writing. To solve the problem, the writer chooses the title to help the learners “IMPROVING STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILL THROUGH TEXT PROCEDURE” (An Experiment at class 3 Students of MTsS Al Furqan Bambi)

The hypothesis of this study can be formulated as follow the student taught by writing a procedure text improves their ability in English writing skill to those who are taught not procedure text.
4.      The Purpose of The Study
