The objective of this study was to investigate eighth-grade students’ difficulties in writing recount text at VIII MTs Pidua. A qualitative study was applied. 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 due to limitation knowledge of grammar, less understanding of the recount text, and less practice at writing. In conclusion, the eighth-grade students at MTs Pidua still struggled with essential elements of writing that should be considered while creating a recount text.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess how well the process-genre training in the EFL writing course worked. It also examined the rhetorical strategies and devices authors employed in their essay. The effectiveness of the intervention was also assessed based on how the kids felt about it. It was limited to eighth grade at SMP N 2 Sungai Lilin. This was accomplished by using a quasi-experimental method. The study's experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) were made up of Sections A (N=40) and C (N=39), using the simple random sample approach. The EG was exposed to process-genre intervention while the CG received the conventional writing training. Two research tools were used to collect the data: an interview and a pre-post intervention writing test. The experimental and controlling technique was applied as a result. The eighth-grade English textbook acted as both an EG and CG teaching resource. A paired samples t-test in SPSS 20 was used to compare test results between groups, and an independent samples t-test was performed to compare test outcomes between the two groups at the pre-post-test. Positive changes were made to the students' attitudes toward process-genre writing instruction. EFL teachers need to be capable and skilled when putting the training into their writing classes. Last but not least, it is suggested to do more research by increasing the intervention period to investigate the outcomes of process-genre based writing instruction as an instructional technique in EFL writing classrooms.

The results pointed out that alternative hypotheses were found to be accepted whereas null hypotheses were found to be rejected. The students who were taught by applying Online Reading Strategy and those who were not showed a significant difference in their reading comprehension achievement. In other words, SMP PGRI Pedamaran eighth grade students' reading comprehension performance was enhanced by employing an online reading strategy.
