a. The Results of the Interview with the English Teacher
The first step conducted for obtaining information was interviewing one English teacher of SMA N 1 Depok. There were thirteen questions to ask. It is
attached in Appendix B. The result of interview with English teacher is attached in Appendix B. The eleventh grade English teacher gave information that most of
the students thought that English was very needed in almost all fields. Therefore, the students were very interested in the English subject. Further, the English
teacher stated that the students lacked of ability in writing because the students were poor in word order, tenses, choosing the appropriate vocabulary, organizing
the structure of text, and also arranging their ideas. According to the teacher, genre-based approach that involves building the
context, modelling and deconstructing the text, joint construction of the text, independent construction of the text, and linking related text has not been fully
implemented in teaching writing skill. Usually, the teacher just asks the students to compose a composition. Afterwards, the students consult their composition to
the teacher. The consultation aims at giving feedback to the students work before the final writing.
The teacher also stated that genre-based approach is really good in terms of its effect to the students’ ability in writing although it needs more time to
produce a piece of writing. Using genre-based approach, the students understand how to write well.
Based on the results of the interview to the eleventh grade English teacher of SMA N 1 Depok, the researcher concluded that there was an urgent need to
42 design writing materials. It is because the teacher stated that the students were
poor in making a composition because of four factors. They are 1 arranging ideas, 2 organizing generic structure, 3 employing grammar rules, and 4
choosing appropriate vocabulary. However, genre-based approach has not been fully implemented in teaching writing skill, whereas it helps students in arranging
the ideas. Therefore, in this study, the researcher intended to design English writing instructional materials using genre-based approach for the eleventh grade
students of SMA N 1 Depok in order to develop the students’ writing ability.
