Definition of Procedure Text

e. Organisation of procedure text

According to Hodge and William, organization is basically a system of coordinated social units concerned with accomplishment of certain goal. 8 Therefore, organisation of procedure text means a well organized system that concerned with the way how a certain goal has to be achieved when someone want to make or to do something. The organisation of procedure text is more common called by generic structure. The organisation of procedure text can be explained specifically as follow: 1 First, procedure texts generally begin with the goal of the task, which is used as a title , for instance, ‘How to Make a cup of coffee’. 2 After the goal, a list of material that includes equipments and ingredients is required to complete the task. 3 In the final, the text end with the sequence of steps specifying how the goal is to be achieved. The organisation of procedure text focuses on instructional texts in sequence of action. It is organised in temporal sequences that are identified by the use of numbers such as 1, 2, 3 etc. or temporal connectives such as then, next, after that. It indicates an ability to deal with aspects of grammar by action verbs, and the temporal nature of sequencing, represented in the grammar by temporal connectives. 9 The following are examples of procedure text genre recipes based on the organisation mention above: Example 1: Goal How to Make a cup of Coffee List of Material Equipment: 8 B.J.
