b. The Results of the Informal Interview
The writer prepared fourteen questions that were stated in the interview guideline. Since the English teachers of SMK BOPKRI I Yogyakarta as the
respondents of the informal interview were not willing to answer all of the questions prepared, the writer only obtained some additional data. The additional
data were: 1 Most of the students came from low-class family. As a result, they had low
motivation to learn and it was hard to motivate them as well. Because of that, the teachers needed to give extra assistance and have extra patience to assist
them. 2 The students were interested to write if the topics to write were related to their
life, their experiences, and the phenomena around them. 3 As the students did not have any handbook, the teacher worked very hard to
deliver the materials. The teacher employed deductive and inductive methods to teach writing in English. In the deductive method, the students were given
the pattern and example of paragraphs about certain topic and then they were asked to write based on the example. Another way was that they were given
the topic sentence and then they were asked to continue the passage using 5W 1H questions. In inductive method, the teacher employed EGRA steps. They
are exposure, generalization, reinforcement, and application. First, the students were given a piece of writing. Then, the students were to find the
pattern of that writing, difficult words, and questions about that writing. After that, the teacher reinforced the students’ understanding about the material.
Finally, the students did the tasks based on the pattern they had learned. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

the students understand the materials well. 4 The common difficulties that the students often faced when they were writing
have been stated in Appendix G point 4. In addition, they were often stuck when they were writing, they had many grammatical errors, and they spent
very long time to write a very short paragraph. Thus, they really needed tasks to get them accustomed to writing in English and to improve their writing
skill. Based on the results of the surveys above, the writer listed the topics, stated the
objectives, and designed the materials.
