Abstract

Not many language teachers use literary works as teaching materials to teach language skills for their students. This is due to teachers’ common perception that literature has a high degree of difficulty to understand. As a result, the use of literary works is often ignored to teach language skills, especially writing. Basically, if teachers are able to select literary works in accordance with the purpose of teaching and use it well, literature can be a bridge to improve language skills, especially the skills of writing an expository text. This article aims to describe the stages of teaching to teach writing skills through mini-fiction for expository essay, tips on choosing fictions that can be used in the classroom, and the problems that may arise from the use of these mini fictions. There are three stages of learning to be conducted when teaching writing skills by using mini fictions, namely the preparatory stage, pre-writing, and writing phases. Using literary works will be able to sharpen the students language skills and their ability to think critically.

Abstract

Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan membaca siswa kelas x di SMK PGRI Pakis-Malang dalam memahami teks naratif. Penelitian ini perlu dilakukan karena hasil dari preliminary study menunjukan bahwa siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami teks naratif. Selain itu, informasi dari guru menunjukan bahwa siswa memiliki motivasi yang rendah dan kurang bias bekerjasama dalam pembelajaran membaca teks naratif. Dengan menggunakan instrumen yang berupa kuesioner, lembar observasi, catatan lapangan, dan tes yang diterapkan pada dua siklus, ditemukan bahwa teknik KWL mampu meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam memahami teks naratif. Secara kualitatif, terbukti bahwa siswa lebih  antusias dalam mengikuti pelajaran karena mereka memeliki kesempatan berinteraksi dengan teman sejawat, serta memiliki pengalaman baru dalam belajar. Secara kuantitatif, terbukti bahwa 25 siswa dari 27 siswa memiliki nilai kemampuan membaca yang melebihi KKM sekolah.
