ABSTRACT

Huda, Taufiqul. 2012. The Mastery of Analyzing the Generic Structure of Recount
Text of the Eighth Year Students of SMP N 3 Bae Kudus in the Academic Year
2011/2012. Skripsi. English Education Department. Teacher Training and
Education Faculty. Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (1) Agung Dwi
Nurcahyo, S.S., M.Pd (2) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd, M.Pd
Key words: Recount Text, Generic Structure
In teaching English for Junior High School Students, genres become the
material which must be taught for the students. There are many kinds of texts (genre).
Recounts text is one kinds of genre purposed to tell about the past events for
informing and entertaining. Most of the students still cannot understand the simple
genre taught by their teacher especially the eighth year students of SMP N 3 Bae

Kudus. They are still confused how to analyze the generic structure correctly. Many
of them cannot distinguish each of generic structure in a genre especially in recount
text. Their limitation of genre knowledge makes them can not recognize the kind of
genre. Based on the background above, the writer would like to do a research entitled
“The Mastery of Analyzing the Generic Structure of Recount Text of the Eighth Year
Students of SMP N 3 Bae Kudus in the Academic Year 2011/2012”.
The purposes of the research is to find out the extent of the mastery of
analyzing the generic structure of recount text of the eighth year students of SMP N 3
Bae Kudus in the academic year 2011/2012.
This research is quantitative descriptive research. The subject of the research
is the eighth year students of class VIII-A of SMP N 3 Bae Kudus consist of 40
students. The instrument of the research was a test given to the eighth year students
of SMP N 3 Bae Kudus
The result of this research shows that the result of analyzing the generic
structure of recount text test that was given to the sample of the eighth year students,
the value of Mean is 77.05 and standard Deviation is 9.45 It means, The Mastery of
Analyzing the Generic Structure of Recount Text of the Eighth Year Students of
SMP N 3 Bae Kudus in the Academic Year 2011/2012 is categorized as good
Considering the process and the results of this research, the writer suggests
that (i) the teacher should give the clear explanation about the generic structure of

recount text. Giving the example of analyzing recount text is also important to
improve students’ mastery in recount text. Teacher should pay attention in it, in order
to get the maximal result in examination (ii) the students should study more about
genre especially recount text because in recount text, the students can express their
experience by telling the activity they have done

ABSTRAKSI

Huda, Taufiqul. 2012. Penguasaan Menganalisis Struktur Umum Teks Recount
Siswa Kelas Delapan SMP N 3 Bae Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2011/2012.
Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Fakultas Keguruan Dan
Ilmu Pendidikan. Unversitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: ((1) Agung Dwi
Nurcahyo, S.S., M.Pd (2) Diah Kurniati, S.Pd, M.Pd
Kata Kunci: Teks Recount, Struktur
Dalam pengajaran Bahasa Inggris siswa SMP, genre menjadi materi yang
harus diajarkan untuk siswa. Ada banyak macam jenis teks. Teks recount adalah
salah satu jenis teks yang bertujuan untuk menceritakan kejadian di masa lampau
untuk member informasi atau menghibur. Kebanyakan siswa masih belum bisa

memahami jenis teks sederhana yang diajarkan oleh guru mereka khususnya kelas
delapan SMP N 3 Bae Kudus. Mereka masih bingung bagaimana menganalisis
struktur umum dengan benar. Banyak dari mereka tidak bisa membedakan masingmasing struktur umum dalam jenis teks khususnya teks recount. Keterbatasan mereka
membuat mereka tidak bisa mengenali jenis-jenis teks. Berdasarkan latar belakang
diatas, penulis akan melakukan penelitian berjudul “Penguasaan Menganalisis
Struktur Umum Teks Recount Siswa Kelas Delapan SMP N 3 Bae Kudus Tahun
Pelajaran 2011/2012”
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penguasaan siswa kelas
delapan SMP N 3 Bae Kudus tahun pelajaran 2011/2012 dalam menganalisis strktur
umum teks recount.
Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif. Subjek penelitian ini
adalah siswa kelas VIII-A SMP N 3 Bae Kudus yang terdiri dari 40 siswa.
Instrument penelitian ini adalah tes yang diberikan kepada siswa kelas delapan SMP
N 3 Bae Kudus
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hasil tes menganalisis struktur
umum teks recount yang diberikan kepada siswa kelas delapan, nilai Mean is 77.05
dan standar Deviasinya adalah 9.45 ini berarti penguasaan dalam menganalisis
struktur umum teks recount siswa kelas delapan SMP N 3 Bae Kudus tahun pelajaran
2011/2012 dikategorikan baik.
Berdasarkan proses dan hasil penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan bahwa (i)
guru seharusnya memberikan penjelasan yang jelas tentang struktur umum teks
recount. Memberikan contoh dalam menganalisis teks recount juga penting untuk
meningkatkan penguasaan siswa dalam teks recount. (ii) siswa seharusnya
mempelajari lebih tentang jenis teks khususnya teks recount karena dalam teks
recount, siswa bisa mengekspresikan pengalaman mereka dengan menceritakan
aktivitas yang telah mereka lakukan.
