1.6.4 Narrative Text
Based on Gerot and Wignell 1994: 204 , “Narrative text is to amuse, entertain,
and to deal with actual or vicarious experience in different ways; Narrative deal with problematic events which lead to a crisis or turning point of some kind,
which in turn finds a resolution ”.
1.6.5 Action Research
According to Burns 2010: 2, “Action Research is part of a broad movement that
has been going on in education generally for some time. It is related to the ideas of „reflective practice and „the teacher as researcher‟. Action research involves
taking a self-reflective, critical, and systematic approach to exploring your own teaching contexts”.

topic of study.
2.1 Reviews of the Studies
This part contains the previous studies from some researchers who have conducted teaching or research.
The first researcher that I found was Khairina 2014. The study is entitled “The Use of Sentence Race Game to Improve Students‟ Skill in Writing Recount
Text”. In her research, she used Sentence Race Game and the game could improve students‟ skill in writing in her English class.
In her research, the design she used was action research. The finding showed that the mean of pre-test was 63.9 and post-test was 76.2, so the
difference was 12.3 points. These scores showed that there was any improvement of
students‟ skill in writing recount text. The result of this study indicated that the post-test score was higher than the
pre- test score. She did the technique clearly for her study, so the students‟ skill of
writing has improved. She said that the students felt interested in the lesson by using Sentence Race Game. She concluded that Sentence Race Game could help
the students
while write
recount text.
