CHAPTER V DISCUSSION OF ANALYSES OF STUDENTS’ TEXTS,

INTERVIEW AND OBSERVATION

5.1 Introduction

This chapter presents three sections of discussions related to the students‟ Report texts, the result of observation and the result of interview with the students. The first section presents the detailed analyses of sample texts collected as part of the teaching program in the three teaching cycles.

A complete analysis of Theme and Transitivity of all texts mentioned in this chapter can be found in Appendixes 2 and 3. 5.2 Analyses of the Students’ Report Texts 5.2.1 Analyses of Texts 5.1-5.3 This section discusses the analysis of Students‟ Report texts.
