2.11 Theoretical Framework of the Study
The problem of this research is the difficulty faced by the tenth grade students of MA Al Asror, Patemon in class X.A in writing narrative text. The students cannot
convey the ideas in the form of writing although they have many ideas in their mind.
Narrative is a kind of story genre that describes a sequence of real or unreal event. According to Anderson and Anderson 1997:7 “narrative is a piece of text,
which tells a story”. According to Boardman and Frydenberg 1992: 3,”when telling a story, the writer has to make sure they have included the detail of
everything that happened”. In doing so, every news story should answer the questions below:
a. Who was involved?
b. What happened?
c. Where did it take place?
d. When did it happen?
e. Why did it occur?
Based on the theory above, I tried to use the question-word questions to guide the students of MA Al Asror when they were writing a narrative text. First,
I made some specific questions, which used question-word questions and arranged these questions based on the structure of narrative discussed. Then, I trained the
students to accustom them to use question-word questions when they were writing narrative text.
