Abstract

Abstract The preliminary study of the present research showed that students faced problems in writing English analytical exposition text. Framed in classroom action research, this study aims to investigate how using scaffolding as a strategy in teaching writing can improve students' writing in analytical exposition text. This qualitative study employed document analysis and interviews to answer the research questions. The participants of this study were 26 EFL students in a senior high school in Bandung, and six students participated in interview sessions. The result indicated that the scaffolding process implemented in two action research cycles improved students' skills in writing analytical exposition text in all aspects of writing: content, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics. Besides, students also showed a positive perception toward implementing scaffolding through various activities in the classroom. This study recommends that scaffolding writing be applied using multiple online tools in more diverse educational settings since the rapid progress of information technology enables learners to acquire knowledge and improve skills online.  Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak Studi pendahuluan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa menghadapi masalah dalam menulis teks eksposisi analitis menggunakan bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

Writing is perceived as the most challenging skill among other productive skills in English language learning. This preliminary study aims at revealing problems encountered by secondary EFL students writing analytical exposition. Employing students' writing and interviews in qualitative manner, 25 second-year EFL secondary students in Bandung, Indonesia, were purposefully involved. Result indicated that students encountered three major problems in writing their analytical exposition; cognitive, linguistic, and psychological problems. Cognitively, most students had limited knowledge of the topic, problems with the structure of the text, the mechanism for capitalization, punctuation, and spelling, and difficulties in sharing ideas due to limited English vocabulary. Linguistically, students frequently encounter the two most challenging areas: vocabulary and grammar. Psychologically, students often found difficulties starting writing, lack of interest, laziness, and confusion in deciding sentence structures. Further discussion of the results is recommended to take into consideration to determine the appropriate treatment for the follow-up research.
