it can be the complicated problem because the writer have to create their ideas. So, I chooses genre
– based approach to make easy when write the text. It hopes that this method can increase and motivate the student‟ ability in writing. By using
genre – based approach, students can write down what they think of their mind
and state it on paper by using a generic sturucture and lexicogrammatical. Based on the explanation above, I want to investigate the implemention of
teaching writing procedural text to improve students‟ writing skill to the eleventh
graders of SMK N 1 Slawi.
1.2 Reasons For Choosing the Topic
Writing language is getting more and more essential today. It should be mastered in order to be literate. But, Indonesian students of Vocational School Senior High
School commonly have only little enthusiasm for their writing tasks. Every time they have writing tasks, they feel difficult to do. But, they should have strong
foundation for their writing skill before entering a higher level of education. So, it is crucial for them to master this skill.
The reasons for choosing the topic are: 1
Writing is one of the four language skills which are necessary to be developed for students.
writing has become a prominent part in people‟s everyday life. It is difficult way to be master in writing.
2 There are some texts for Vocational School such descriptive, narrative,
hortatory exposition, etc. One of them is procedural text, there is a piece of text that gives us instruction for doing something. The purpose of a procedural
text type is to explain how something can be done. It is have essential function related to the daily activities.
3 The writer try to help the the students in learning writing well since they have
diificulties to produce a procedure text by using genre – based approach.
4 In the KTSP Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan, the students are
demanded to be able to write simple short essay for doing something in daily life in the form of procedural text.
5 SMK N 1 Slawi was chosen as the setting of the reserach because I assumed
SMK N 1 Slawi as one of International School Standard in my town, English subject better than in regular school, then vocational school is a kind of
education intended to equip the students for industrial or commercial occupation, so English subject is prominent and essential part.
