For some students or learners, it is an interesting text because they can play with their imagination in constructing this text. There no need to
use the difficult terms to arrange the text. Narrative text is one of the texts which is taught in Junior High School and Senior High School.
However, some students are still confused to distinguish between
narrative and recount text.
3. The implementation of the media is expected to be able to stimulate students‘ creativity and imagination in writing narrative texts. Story
sequencing cards or pictures provide some sequenced events which can catch more attention and motivation for students to write in a
different way.
4. To build students‘ confidence and participation in writing activity, teacher may use media or technique to support the teaching-learning
process in a classroom. In this study, the writer will use round table or write round because it is a technique which suitable for writing activity.
Through this technique, students also can learn how to be responsible for their group. In other words, rou
nd table builds students‘ self-
confidence and responsibility.
1.3 Statement of the Problems
The basic problems which I will discuss are: 1. What is the problem faced by students in writing skill?
2. How is the proposed combination of story sequencing cards and round table technique implemented?
3. How does the combination of story sequencing cards and round table technique improve students‘ writing narrative texts skill?
1.4 Objective of the Study
The purposes of the study are:
1. to know the problems faced by the students in writing skill, especially in writing narrative texts.
2. to explain the combination of story sequencing cards and round table technique to improve students‘ narrative texts implemented.
3. to find out the combination story sequencing cards and round table t
echnique as a media and technique to improve students‘ narrative texts.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The study is expected to be able to give some advantages for teacher, students and other researchers:
1. For the Teachers This study is expected to be used as a consideration for the teachers to
choose the media or technique to teach and improve students‘ writing
ability, especially in writing narrative texts. It seems simple to choose the techniques or medium to teach students, but in practical, they give a
big deal for the success of teaching learning process in a classroom.
2. For the students This study is expected to increase the students‘ knowledge, interest and
scores in learning English especially in writing narrative texts. Hopefully, the students can improve their writing ability in narrative
texts through the combination of story sequencing cards and round table technique. This study will build students‘ motivation and team work.
3. For other researchers This study is expected to be an useful additional information to enrich
the reference related to the improving the students‘ writing skill in
narrative texts. I hope they can find another media and techniques that can be implemented
to improve students‘ narrative texts. They are able to combine other topics with another methods and techniques.
