Writing is a challenging skill that students must master. Students must understand aspects of writing, including content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics, in order to compose well. The objective of this study was to investigate the difficulties students had in writing recount texts in grade VIII MTs Pidua. This study was a descriptive qualitative study. The samples were the eighth-grade students of MTs Pidua consisting of 14 students. To collect the data, a written test in the form of an essay and a questionnaire consisting of eight questions related to grammatical, knowledge and understanding, practice, and educational background were employed. Two raters scored the students’ writing products using an analytic scoring rubric. To validate the data, the triangulation method was applied. To analyze the data, Miles and Heberman’s three steps were used: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The findings revealed that the number of learners made it challenging to write a recount text. These difficulties were linked to writings aspects such as content (35.71%), vocabulary (35.71%), grammar (21.43%), and organization (21.43%). The students, on the other hand, were well-versed in mechanics. They understood the importance of punctuation, spelling, and capitalization when writing a recount text. However, the students had difficulty in writing a recount text because they had limited knowledge of grammar, lacked knowledge and an understanding of the recount text, and were less practiced at writing. Although they had a good educational background, they still struggled to write a recount text due to the previous reasons mentioned.

Abstract

In the world of language development and academic achievement, the relationship between vocabulary mastery and writing power is critical. Recognizing the tremendous impact of students' lexical command on their ability to compose descriptive texts is critical for educators seeking to improve language teaching. As a result, the purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relationship between students' English vocabulary mastery and their ability to write descriptive texts at SMP PGRI Pedamaran. This inquiry provides useful insights into the underlying aspects that support excellent English writing. Utilizing a purposive sampling strategy, three classes comprising 72 students were chosen as the sample group. Data collecting included delivering multiple-choice vocabulary exams as well as essay-based writing tests. The Pearson Product Moment correlation approach was utilized to conduct further study. The findings show a substantial relationship between students' English vocabulary ability and their ability for descriptive writing at SMP PGRI Pedamaran. The estimated correlation coefficient (r) of 0.26 was more than the crucial value (r-table) of 0.23 at a significance level (p) of less than 0.05, indicating a weak correlation. This emphasizes the importance of vocabulary in generating descriptive texts, as well as its significance in language proficiency. As a result, vocabulary mastery emerges as a critical determinant in students' ability to successfully explain descriptive narratives, emphasizing its intrinsic value in the writing process.
