Abstract

The objectives of this study were to investigate the way of how morphological awareness tasks completion relates to morphological awareness in text processing and to find out the reason why the relation occurs the way it does. This study was conducted by using descriptive qualitative design. The participants were the students grade 8 of SMP Budi Murni Medan which consists of 25 students. This study revealed that there is different consistency between Text Processing Awareness and Completion Task for derivational morpheme and inflectional morphology. It was concluded that completion task is suitable for inflectional morpheme while for derivational morpheme it does not totally measure awareness, most of them measure ability to produce word. Furthermore, judgment task is the simplest of three tasks that measure the students’ awareness about morphological complex words. Some of the students have less awareness due to lack of vocabulary knowledge and the high frequency of words given.Keywords: morphological awareness, task completion, text processing

Abstract

This research was aimed at describing the extent to which strategy does the teachers use in teaching descriptive writing to students at Junior High School and finds out the reasons underlying the teachers using certain theory. The strategy which the teachers use was analyzed by following the theory of Johns’ Scaffolding Strategy (2010). Scaffolding Strategy divided into Explicit Implementation consist of three types namely (1) modeling; (2) joint negotiation and (3) independent construction. And the other one is Implicit Implementation which consists of four types namely (1) dimly felt of sense; (2) begin composing; (3) course composing and (4) external feedback. The data was analyzed following Miles and Huberman theory of qualitative research (1994). The research findings showed that, the English teachers are using all three types of explicit implementation and only one type of implicit implementations, namely external feedback. And the reasons underlying teachers using these implementations are (1) the teachers want to vivid students’ knowledge about the generic structure, language features and social functions of descriptive text, (2) teachers want the students to understand more and get familiar with descriptive text in real life, (3) teachers wants to know students’ ability in applying their knowledge of descriptive text on their own-making descriptive text and (4) enlighten students on how to criticize their friends’ work.Keywords: Descriptive, scaffolding, explicit implementation, implicit implementation

Abstract

This study aimed at identifying how the students of natural and social science majors write descriptive text writing based on the usage of process. This study was conducted by applying descriptive qualitative method. The sources of data were taken from natural and social science students’ descriptive text writing. The results of this research showed that the natural science and social science students used types of process differently in writing their descriptive text. The students from natural science used relational process as the dominant type of process in their description. From 150 types of process used in 13 texts, they use 104 relational processes, it’s 69.33%. They tend to use verbs such as ‘be/is/am/are as attributes and identifications, they also tend to use ‘have/has’ which refers to possession. On the other hand, the dominant type of process used in social science students’ descriptive text writing is existential process. From 107 types of process used in 13 texts, 50 (46.7%) of them are existential process. The findings of the study also showed that the different use of types of process from natural and social science students affected their way in describing object and their way in writing descriptive texts.Keywords: Descriptive, Writing, Process, Natral Science, Social Science
