Abstract

This paper aimed to critically examine the effectiveness of Genre-Based Approach (GBA) to teaching writing in EFL context of Indonesia. Although several studies have discussed the effectiveness of GBA in teaching writing, those studies put emphasize how GBA focuses on genre or text types rather than the basic principles of GBA that aims for socially functioning language skills. This paper draws on the relevant literature to investigates how GBA suits the teaching of writing in EFL context of Indonesia. Moreover, the discussion focuses on the benefits of GBA which mainly derived from five key principles of Genre proposed by Hyland (2007). Through the exploration of existing empirical studies, this paper found that GBA offer three main benefits in teaching writing under the EFL context. These benefits are: (1) the offer of practical writing skill; (2) the build of students’ confidence in English writing; and (3) stimulation on students’ critical thinking as part of their English literacy. Nevertheless, the benefits of GBA in teaching writing could only be attained if teachers implement GBA according to its full-fledged teaching and learning cycles.

Abstract

Indonesia and English have different grammatical rules. That is why some students make mistake in writing or speaking English sentences. For example, in Indonesia Language, the question sentence does not use auxiliary, while in English, we need different auxiliaries in making question sentence. The aim of this research is to know the errors which have been made by the second semester students at English Department in Pamulang University in question sentences, to identify the error made by the students, and to correct the errors. The research uses theory of grammatical errors taxonomy by Ho (2005). According to Ho, there are four types of Grammatical errors; are noun and noun group errors, verb and verb group errors, prepositional errors, and sentence structure errors. Qualitative method is used to obtain valid finding. Twenty five (25) question sentences were collected from 41 students in the second semester Faculty of Letters Pamulang University. Based on the error analysis conducted, it is found that the most dominant errors is errors regarding to verb-verb group (11 case or 44%), with the omission of auxiliary verb is the highest number of errors done by students (36%). This is followed by the errors regarding to sentence structure (28%). In the third position, there are errors regarding noun-noun group (12%) and capitalization errors (12%), which is not categorized in the (Ho, 2005) theory. Last the error regarding to the preposition is in percentage 4%. The finding indicates that some students find difficulties in using auxiliary verbs in their question sentence. This problem may occur because Indonesian does not use auxiliary verb in the question sentences.
