2.5 Type of Text
Text is a passage from an authoritative source providing information as form of a written or printed material. The classification of texts is commonly as fiction or
nonfiction. The distinction addresses whether a text discusses the real world nonfiction and the world of imagination nonfiction Fulton, Huisman, Murphet
and Dunn, 2005:11. Here is a brief explanation between nonfiction and fiction text as follows:
a. Non-Fiction Text
Non-fiction is a type or genre of writing based on facts and true story rather than a made up or imaginary story. Non-fiction includes any type of literature that is factual, which
would exclude texts as menus and street signs Harvey, 2002:16.
There are a range of
forms for non-fiction literature including:
Information leaflets
Newspaper or magazine articles
Travel writing
Biographies
Company websites
Advertisements and advertorials
Film and book reviews
Textbooks Harvey, 2002:16
Non-fiction literature is basically used by the teacher to teach the students as the content materials, include reading activity. In reading activity, we find that the teacher
utilizes a textbook to teach any kind of texts which is appropriate based on their curriculum. The textbook itself is the non-fiction literature that contains several chapters of lesson. In
Senior High School, the teacher teaches informational text as a non-fiction literature to the students. But in fact, informational text is not the same as non-fiction. It is the type of non-
fiction which differs from other types of non-fiction in purpose, features and format. Informational text has a primary purpose to convey information about the natural or
social world, typically from someone presumed to know that information to someone presumed not to, with particular linguistic features such as headings and technical vocabulary
to facilitate accomplish that purpose Harvey, 2002:18. Informational text as the type of non- fiction literature is not the same as non-fiction narrative text as well because the distinct is on
the primary purpose which is to tell of an event or series of events that have occurred to the readers.
b. Fiction Text
