1 To what extent the teaching of linguistic features characterizing narrative text
through fairy tales contributes to the students’ improvement in writing narrative?
2 To what extent the teaching of narrative generic structure through fairy tales
contributes to the student’s improvement in writing narrative?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
The objectives of this research are as follows: 1
To describe to what extent the teaching of linguistic features characterizing narrative text contributes to the students’ improvement in writing narrative.
2 To describe to what extent the teaching of narrative generic structure
contributes to the student’s improvement in writing narrative.
1.5 Significance of the Study
Hopefully, the study will be helpful both for English teachers and students. For the teachers, it will give more knowledge about narrative texts. It also can
increase teachers’ confidence that many things can be used to make their students more understand and interested in learning English. Fairy tales which are usually
used in teaching reading also can be used as interesting models in teaching writing. They will also enable the teachers to guide and give model to their
students in using vocabulary which are appropriate with the field of the text they want to write. For the students, they will get more views to build up the meanings
of their texts. They will be more understood how to construct a good piece of

narrative text with the appropriate staging and lexicogrammatical features. Moreover, the exercises given in the action are supposed to be beneficial for the
students’ knowledge about many significant things in written narrative text such as, its text structures, tenses, and punctuation.
