Abstract

The objective of this study is to know how the students? write hortatory exposition text on using generic structure and language features at eleventh grade of senior high school in Indramayu. This study utilized descriptive qualitative research using genre analysis by Hyland (2004) as research design. The data were obtained by collecting writing assignment. The writer took 20 students of XI-6 MIPA of SMAN 2 Indramayu as the participant. The texts were analyzed in term of generic structure and language features in students? writing hortatory exposition which were undertaken by Gerot and Wignell (1994). The result showed that the students still got difficulty in writing generic structure. The students did not write generic structure completely as suggested. Mostly, they did not write recommendation in their hortatory exposition. Meanwhile, in language features, mostly did not complete their sentence by putting mental and material process. Therefore, it can be concluded that the students do not understand to write hortatory exposition in good generic structure and language features. The teacher should teach hortatory exposition by explaining and guide them carefully especially for composing recommendation for generic structure and mental process as well as material process for language features. Hence, both of them are crucial to write and organize the text. Hopefully, the students could improve their macro skills in writing.

Abstract

Word derivation make the conversation more simple and specific to the topic. The case is many students didn?t recognise and aware of using it. this paper is trying to reveal the words derivation that the students use in their speaking class conversation whether or not it affected to the semantic. Dealing with vocabulary and grammar, speakers often choose certain vocabulary to express something and forming it into the correct grammatical rules, the choice of vocabulary that the speaker use during the planned speaking activity in the classroom and how this words implemented with the correct grammar in the form of literature dealing with morphology and semantic are the main focus of this paper. Many students didn?t really aware with the use of derivational words, 3 numbers of students conversational scripts didn?t insert any derivational words at all. While the other 2 insert very little derivational words. The method of analysis that the writer use to reveal the processes of derivation in more detail by noting three simultaneous processes, namely: a morphological process (e.g. changing the shape of an existing word by adding a prefix or suffix morpheme to an existing root morpheme) a syntactic process (changing the part of speech of a word, e.g. from verb to noun) and a semantic process (producing a new sense, agent, act, property).

Abstract

Meanwhile, students? talk signal classroom language that is used by the students. The study employs qualitative interaction analysis method involving fifty nine students and two teachers in two different classrooms. The data are gathered through non-participant observation and video recording. Classroom observations were conducted to gain the data concerning classroom interaction in teaching learning process. The data collecting was separated into twelve categories and analyzed using Flint (Foreign Language Interaction analysis) system adopted from Moscowitz that is widely used to investigate classroom interaction. The findings of this study showed that there are various verbal interactions used in classroom interaction. The data showed that the use of classroom language motivate students to speak and encourage the students to share their idea.
