feedback again to their works. I found that they wrote their composition better than in the previous meeting.
4.1.2.2 Treatment for the Control Group
Based on the table of the research design used in this study, control group gets no treatment. It means that this group was taught without using pairs check activity.
Therefore, there was no special technique which was applied in this group. The detail activities are elaborated as follows:
1 Meeting 1 Like in the experimental group, in the first meeting, I taught the students about the
general concept of analytical exposition text. I explained about the social function, generic structure, and the language features of analytical exposition.
After giving explanation, I distributed an example of analytical exposition text to them. I asked some students to read aloud the text. Then, I read it again with the
correct pronunciation. Next, I asked the students whether they found any difficult words. We discussed the difficult words they found in the text. Then, I asked some
questions related to the text to check their understanding. I also explained about the content written in that text. After that, I asked them to do exercise on their textbook
and later we discussed it. 2 Meeting 2
As usual, in the beginning of the lesson, I asked the students some questions to brush up on the previous material. Then, I continued explaining the next material. I
explained about sentence connectors. Next, they did exercise on their textbook and
we discussed it. While waiting for the next lesson, the students and I had discussion about “moving class”. I asked their opinion about it. Some of them agreed with it and
the rest of them did not. We discussed it until the lesson ended. At the end of the lesson, the students were given homework to work in pairs. They had to create an
analytical exposition text about the topic which had been discussed. 3 Meeting 3
In the opening activity of meeting three, I gave a brief review on the last materials. After that, I reminded them about the topic we had discussed in the previous meeting
moving class. We discussed it again for a while. I also asked them whether they found any difficulties to create an analytical exposition text. Then, they handed in
their composition. Next, I asked some questions about the next topic mobile phone. We
discussed the topic for a while. Then, I asked them to write their opinion in the form of analytical exposition. Like the experimental group, they were also asked to do in
pairs, but they were not asked to do pairs check activity. After they finished, I asked them some difficulties they found in creating their analytical exposition text.
