Abstract

The difficulty found in writing is not only due to the need to generate and organize ideas using the appropriate choice of vocabulary, sentence, and paragraph organization. A descriptive text is one of the texts that can help students to improve their ideas into a text. The researcher used the qualitative method as the way to analyze the data in this research. It focused on analyzing the student’s skill of applying the generic structure of descriptive texts. The writer used the data from the students’ descriptive texts taken from the worksheet of Elementary school 1 Penambangan Probolinggo. The findings are as follows; they do not master the language features of descriptive text and lack vocabulary and got difficulties describing with effective word choice. They failed to show well-organized writing and did not use identification appropriately, the last they were still unable to transfer and develop their ideas into a written form well in composing a text and do not use the description process in writing appropriately. Finally, the researcher concluded that some students at Elementary school 1 Penambangan Probolinggo still need more practice to choose a topic that they are about to discuss and to arrange the descriptions with proper connectives.

Abstract

In this classroom action research, the researcher used the model of classroom action research developed by Kemmis and Mc Taggart (1999). There are four steps of teaching. Before doing those four steps, the researcher did reconnaissance step by observing the class situation and interviewing the class teacher and the students to know the problems. After knowing the problems, the researcher started to do the four steps of teaching they were planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The findings of this result showed that teaching reading comprehension using collaborative strategic reading improved the students` reading comprehension skill. In the first cycle the result was not satisfactory. The students were still passive in class because they did not understand about the method and many of them still found difficulty in understanding the texts. Their mean score of the first cycle was under the MMC. The criterion of success is when students give good response to this method, and also get the mean score that reach the MMC. After implementing the second cycle, the researcher found that the students were more enthusiastic because they knew about the topics of the texts and enjoyed comprehending the texts using CSR. They felt that the method was not boring. Besides that, the students` mean score was 72.85. The second cycle succeeded and proved that the students` mean score improved. It was above the MMC.
