CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

F. The Background of the Study As we realize that English is popular since it becomes of International Language. It is used by milions of people all over the world. Nowadays, English has become the language of commerce, technology, politics as well as education. For Indonesia, English is a foreign language. Learnig a foreign language is an integrated process that the learner should study the four basic skill : listening, speaking, reading and writing. We use it to understand our world through listening and reading and to communicative our feeling need and desire through speaking and writing. By having more knowledge about language skill we have much better chance of undestanding and being understood and getting what we want and need from these around us. Writing is one of four basic skills, it is very important in teaching and learning English. Writing involves some language component (spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation). We all realize how important English for our children. The authority was obliged all of Educational official in all province in Indonesia should provide the lesson in each school. All Indonesia people agree with this curriculum that could be make their children know English from beginning. More better than before

which they took in years ago. All of the component in this nation should support this policy by all their ability. There are so many things that can get from English. Like a senoir high school students, they can proceed in their academic achievement with English. As well all know, most of the source books, whether it is social or natural science are written in English. In addition English is also important for next generation in order can compete to International completion and prepare our human resource in global completion. To make students able to use English for communication, ones of the skills which has to be understood is writing. Because it is the basic language element learning writing is higly require sins. It is basic for mastering any language. From writing they can telling and explaining something in spite of only a simple statement. This skill must be trained to bring up capability in writing process to the writer as well. In writing something we should have more knowledge. How could we produce information if we do not any information to give. Just like an empty kettle that will not give any water for any body. Through writing, we can transfer our ideas and information in the paper with the good sentences. We can express everything in our mind in to the form of writing. Teacher as manager in the class should be creative in transferring the knowledge students bored. Teacher should perform their job nicely by using teching aids. Media could also be instrument in teaching. We are focussing on Information technology media, such as Blogging.

In choosing the media you will find that the media itself has its own characteristic. So it has weakness and strength. Usually we used the conventional media such as cassette or vcd player but now we try to teach english by using internet media in the class. This media is more powerful than conventional media. Because students can visualy learn english by expressing their media in written and in the same time they can see the respon of their ideas form chat mate directly online. The writer has chosen a title about writing in teaching writing in high school, because there are some problem in MA Ar-Rasyidiyyah that appear in teaching writing activity. As like the students of MA Ar-Rasyidiyyah are still lack of practice, the lack of motivation from the teacher, no media to express the students writing, and also the weakness of the students to understand about topic sentences and lack of their vocabulary, never use the media studying in teaching writing, the teacher does not make innovation for the teaching etc. Beside that according some of the student english has symbols which difficult to understand by the students, so as the teacher must give a lot of task to practice the writing in the class. Based on the problem above, so the writer has chosen blogging to solve the writing process in the classroom. The student will more motivate to express their mind on the blogging because it is as like their personal diary. The student can express anywhere they want in classroom, their room or at the park.

There are many technique and method in teaching language, especially in teaching writing English. The new of all is blogging. In here, the writer assumses this method is so fun and increase more motivate of the students. G. The Identification of the Problem Based on the background of the study mentioned above, the identification of the problem of the research are : 1. How do the students learn writing, for the time in being class? 2. How do the learning process improve the students ability? 3. How great are the writing skills out come? 4. How does teaching narrative writing skill through blogging make more motivated for student? 5. How the teacher more interested to teach narrative writing skill through blogging? H. The Limitation of the Problem The writer limits the discussing of the study about, Improving Students Narrative Writing Skill Through Blogging Media at Tenth Grade of MA ArRasyidiyyah Koja Jakarta. Because the writer find, the effective method to teach using blogging. Especially students for tenth grade. I. The Formulation of The Problem Based on limitation of problem mentioned above, the problem of the research can be formulated as follows; How to improve the Students Narrative

Writing Skill Through Blogging Media at Tenth Grade of MA Ar-Rasyidiyyah Koja Jakarta? J. The Benefit of the Study The writer hopes that this thesis can develop education institution to perform a language laboratory, teacher to use the approach and method properly in teaching writing to their students; it can be refer for English teacher in studying which pursuant and guide linear of the better ways to achieve the successful English study. The benefit of this research for high school, that the headmaster of the school knows actually teaching and teaching writing are really acceded by the teacher.

CHAPTER II THEORETICAL DESCRIPTION

A. Narrative Writing Skill 1. The Definition of Narrative Skill A recent meta-analysis Gersten and Baker hightlights research-based intructional approach for teaching written expression to students with learning disabilities, including ways to teach students how to analyze material learned in the classroom and how to write personal narratives, persuasive essays, and other genres. According to Gersten and Baker, All of the instructional interventions studied improved the quality of students written products, and there was evidence of positive impact on students self-effecacy, ie., their senses of being able to write1. Narrative writing skill tells a story or part of story. Narrative writing is found in novels, biographies, autobiographies, free essay and short stories. Narrative writing depends on the personal or imaginative experience of a person. A narrative writing should contain an entire story beginning, middle, and end. It should cover all the necessary details that explain the story. The narrator should be able to pass on his thoughts and views to the reader.

Gersten and Baker, S. (1999) Teaching expressive writing to students with learning disabilities : a meta-analysis. Eugene, OR : University of Oregon. P.211-214

Narrative writing means, essentially, writing that tell a story. It might be fiction (as with writing personal narrative, or memoir writing). The main feature of narrative writing is that it spans time and has a plot-something happens that keeps readers reading to see whats next. A narrative often (but certainly not always is written in chronological order. Narrative writing had been defined as the kinds of writing that simply record a series of events. The opening sentence of narrative paragraph provides the information that begins the story to be told or the events to be described. A narrative paragraph can introduce a longer paper primarily concerned with exposition or analysis. The personal experience in narratives form is usually interest the reader that the other ones. In addition to provide the interest value for the reader, this approach permits the writer to lead into the materials to be analyzed in the essay. Laurence stated in his book : Reading and writing are things can not be separated. To get a good writing the writer are demanded to have reading skill well, it mean to read continously and relate with what they want to write about. Purpose is central to the kind of narrative we write. From this opinion the writer can conclude that the rading are part of the language skill that can not be separated, because of each other mutual support. So if someone wants to create a form of writing, then he should have a good reading ability. Writing is important part of language learning. There are many aspects point out that writing is an activity or occupation which is done by a person to

express their ideas clearly in a written form to an intended audience. Writing is a mean to communicate, to convey message, ideas and printed word. And writing can also be read by anyone known as written language. "Learning to write in essence is a lesson about how to express one's ideas and feelings through the medium of writing"2. And another said writing is expressing someone about their ideas, opinion, thinking, or feeling use language writing 3 The writing process that a person does, not only involve the ability to write correct and appopriate sentences, the ability to use spelling, punctuation, commas etc. But also the ability to think creatively excluding all information which is not necessary. It is generally agreed that learning to write well is a difficult and time consuming process. In order to write well an individual needs more than basic mechanical control, especially the non native students finishing a writing assignment or project even though she/he has sufficient mechanical ability in the foreign language. Therefore, writing process will be better if it involves the writers interest in writing. Writing, as one of four skills taught in learning and teaching english is defined in many ways by many experts. Writing is making the ideas visible and available to readers whether on paper, computer screen or through some other medium; using the brain stroming notes, outlines or other results of planning activities to produce text. This complex activity involves everything from the

physical act of shapes letters or making key strokes to the mental processes of choosing words, forming sentences, arranging paragraphs and structuring the organizations. 2. The Narrative Text Narrative text is a story with complication or problematic events and it tries to find the resolutions to solve the problems. An important part of narrative text is the narrative mode, the set of methods used to communicate the narrative through a process narration. 3. The Generic Structures of Narrative Text a) Orientation Sets the scene : where and when the story happened and introduces the participants of the story : who and what is involved in the story. b) Complication Tells the beginning of the problems which leads to the crisis (climax) of the main participants. c) Resolution The problem (the crisis) is resolved, either in a happy ending or in a sad (tragic) ending. d) Re-orientation/Coda This is a closing remark to the story and it is optional. It consists of a moral lesson, advice or teaching from the writer.

B. The Writing Skill 1. The Definition of Writing Skill Writing skills are essential for sharing information and documenting ideas. Building writing skills takes practice and hard work. Students must be taught the basics before they can be expected to produce quality writing. Once student master the basics, they will be ready to write both creatively and for a purpose. Finch and Crunkilton said that competence means the ma stery of tasks, skills, behaviors, and rewards necessary for the success or an achievement.4 Padmadewi adds that competence is the ability in the subject and the lab to be possessed by the graduates; capabilities that should be done by the student. Basically, two opinions have the same idea about the notion that at its core competence refers to the ability of students to do something by a certain standard. a) Handwriting Handwriting is the first in a series of skill that emergent writers develop. Though very basic, handwriting is important to academic success because handwriting forms a connection between the writer letter and the sound it represents. As students improve their hand writing skills, they become more confident in their writing ability. Student who struggle with handwriting are

Mulyasa, E.. Kurikulum Berbasis Kompetensi. Cetakan Ketiga. (Bandung: PT Remaja Rosdakarya. 2003) p. 23

often frustrated with written expression and begin to dislike the writing process. Student can trace letter, draw letters in paint or shaving cream, use tweezers to move small objects and complete connect-the-dot pictures to build handwriting skills. b) Identification Identifying aspects of the written word is an essential skill for emergent writers. When teaching writing at any level, identification strategies are used to improve writing. Beginning writers should be able to identify uppercase and lowercase letters and sounds associated with letters. As writing skills become more fluent, students should be taught to identify complete sentences, sentence fragments and run-ons. Students should also be able to identify topic sentences and supporting details. These identification strategies are skill that create strong writers. Help student master identification skills through use of graphic organizers, peer editing and exposure to good writing samples. c) Mechanics Grammar, spelling, punctuation, or organization are important aspects of writing. Often, it is assumed that writers possess these basic skills, and therefore, both student and teachers are frustrated when they are not evident. Proper use of grammar and sentence structures ma kes students writing more effective. Spelling is equally as important because student may not use words they are not sure how to spell. Punctuating sentences give added

meaning of writing, and organization of words and ideas is also impreative to getting a point across. Grammar and spelling can be taught through repetition and drill. Direct instruction in grammar is necessary for student to master this writing skill. Help student build confidence in their writing skills by helping them edit mechanical mistakes in their writing, or by allowing them to dictate ideas to you. d) Content The most important aspect of writing, for many people is the content. Getting student to communicate ideas is a skill that must be encouraged and cultivated. Sentence starters, journals and free-writers are good ways to build writing fluency and to encourage student to practice writing down thoughts. Continue building this skill by teaching student the value of drafts in writing. Prewritten, or brainstorm for ideas, the write a rough draft. Edit and revise a rough draft until you are pleased with the final product. The drafting process is a valueable skill for all writers and will give student a final product they can be proud of. 2. The Genre in Writing English writing have divided into some of parts, for example : descriptive text, procedure text, narrative text, recount text, and report text. a) Descriptive text is we write to discribe a particular person, place or thing. b) Procedure text is we write to discribe how something is accomplished through a sequence of action or steps.

c) Narrative text is we write to amuse, entertain, and to deal with actual or vicarious experience in different ways. d) Recount text is we write to retell events for the purpose of imforming or intertaining. e) Report text is we write to discribe the ways things are with reference to a range of natural, man-made and social phenomena in our environment. 3. The Nature of Writing Learning writing means learn to organize the experience, information and ideas particularly different language pattern. To produce a good text of writing needs hard practice and process. Writing is not only how to make sentences in paragraph, but also how to express the ideas in consecutive way through the appropriate graphic symbol and structure. David Nunas suggests ; Writing is an extremely complex continue activity in which the writer required to demonstrate control of a number of variables simultaneously. To get fluent writing, the writer has to check some components such as word , grammar linking ideas and spelling before finishing the writing. In order to make the activities of writing meaning full and understandable, the activities of writing must be communicative. The students should know exactly what they want to convey.

4. The Writing Process a. Self questioning - Asking themselves questions about their writing to establish audience and purpose in their own minds, for example: Why am I writing this text? Who am I writing for? What kind of language do I need to use? What do I need to tell them? How will I organize my work?

b. Planning content - Thinking about plot, theme, information content, etc., to suit the task through: brainstorming ideas, alone or with others researching the topic in books or on-screen, and making notes using other resources to stimulate and/or inform.

c. Sounding out - Rehearsing what is to be written orally prior to writing in small groups or with talk partners and experimenting until it sounds right. If they cant think it, they cant write it. d. Writing first draft - Getting something down on paper or on-screen. Focusing on the sequence of ideas/content. Having a go at problematic spelling at this stage using spelling strategies specifically taught. This is especially important for under at training learners and dyslexics/learners with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) who should not be allowed to become demotivated by errors or poor handwriting.

e. Revising the text - Reading what has been written aloud to a partner or to self. This highlights omissions, grammatical inconsistencies, etc., that might not be apparent if the work is read silently since the writer will often read what should be there rather than what is actually on the page. Reviewing the text and identifying : whether or not the text makes sense whether or not it needs further detail to support the plot, add to description or provide missing information whether or not the tone is appropriate for the audience whether or not anything needs to be omitted because it is repetitive or irrelevant, etc. and making revisions on paper or on-screen.

d. Editing - Checking: organisation/sequencing of ideas/events/paragraphs to ensure writing is coherent spelling, punctuation and grammar.

e. Preparing final copy - Producing a final copy suitable for publication, preferably for a real audience, paying attention to presentation either in legible handwriting or through using ICT.

C. The Blogging 1. The Understanding of Blogging The blog is a personal diary, Your pulpit every day, Space for collaboration, Political arena of expressing ideas. News outlets. Link collection. Mind your own. Note to the world.5 Your blog is whatever you want. There are millions of blogs, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules. Blog (bentuk sederhana dari weblog) adalah sebuah laman (situs) seseorang yang sering di update yang sering disebut dengan jurnal (diari) online6. In simple terms, a blog is a website where you can continue to write about things. It appeared at the latest so that new visitors can read. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not. Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped the web, influencing politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others. And we firmly believe that the whole deal is just getting started. Blogs allow you a voice on the web. Blog is a place to collect and share the things you find interesting - whether it's your political commentary, a personal diary, or links to websites you want to remember. Many people use a blog just to organize their thoughts, while others create a blog that makes a lot of influence with thousands of viewers around the world. And amateur

we write so we always happy and more motivate to write anything on blogging. D. The Classroom Action Research 1. The Definition of Classroom Action Research Action Research is a process in which educators examine their own practice systematically and carefully using the techniques of qualitative research. Participants design an inquiry question, collect data throughout the year, analyze what they have learned, and write about their findings. Observations, interviews, surveys and journals are typical data methods that participants use to investigate their questions. Action research has different meaning and thing when used by different another. For example, Hopkin treats action research and classroom research by teachers as synonymous.7 Brown and Robinson suggest that any action undertaken by teachers to collect data and evaluate their own teaching can be termed action research, and some highlights the participatory insider nature of action research.8 Hodgkinson has definition of action research as follows: Action research is a direct and logical out come of the progressive position. After showing children how to work together to solve their problems, the next step

Hopkins, D. (1985) A Teachers Guide to Classroom Research. Milton Keynes : Open University Press Brown, H.D. (1994) Teaching by Principles : An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall

was for teachers to adopt the methods they had been teaching their children, and learn to solve their own problems co-operatively. 9 Put simply, action research is learning by doing it is conducted by the teacher as classroom participant. As teacher, he/she needs to know what is actually happening in classroom, collecting data and evaluating her/his own teaching, do something to solve it, see how successful his/her effort were, and if not satisfied, try again until showing the increasing of changing. Nunan sees the important defining aspect of action research as the controlling role of the teacher: For me the salient distinction between AR and other form of research process is initiated and carried out by practitioner.10 2. The Steps of Classroom Action Research Stephen Kemmis has developed a simple model of cyclical of the typical action research process each cycle has four steps; they are, planning, acting, observing and reflecting. 11 a) Planning is we prepare the material that we will teach, making lesson plan, syllabus and making evaluation that the will examine. b) Acting is we teach the students based on our plan, the material and the method we are going to teach and give the evaluation as the result.

c) Observing are we observing the result of the acting is it satisfied or not? d) Reflecting is we analyze the weaknesses of the students. Strickland outlines the following steps in an AR cycle : 1. identify an issue, interest or problem 2. seek knowledge 3. plan an action 4. implement the action 5. reflect on your observations 6. revise the plan Based on the steps of Action Research above, it can be concluded that teacher as researcher has to prepare teaching process as good as possible. Every step has to be followed in continuous and integrated. There are cycles within cycles. Some extend across an entire study. Others occupy only minutes or less. The result can be a very flexible and responsive process. When each cycle includes a vigorous seeking out of disconfirming evidence the flexibility is also accompanied by research rig our. The people affected by the change are involved in the action and the critical reflection. Understanding is widely shared, and so is commitment to any planned change. Action research certainly is not the only research process for researching change. However, it is process well suited to

situations where you wish to achieve change (the action) and understanding (the research ) at some time. Action research for development, teacher can become more autonomous, responsible, and answerable through action research, teachers themselves can take a so decisions concerning change. 12 3.

E. The Advantages of Using Blogging With increasingly easy access to blogging, it is probably worth expressing your learner to a combination of both idea and blog. If possible, as with any tool, there are a number of advantages such as : 1. Learner may already use blogging at home. 2. Bring current technology into the class room. 3.

There are many reasons for this : Internet access- either in private home, or at internet cafes-is becoming increasingly available to learners. Younger learners are growing up with technology, and it is natural and integrated part of their lives. For these learners the use of technology is away to bring the outside world into the class room. And some of these younger learners will in turn become teacher themselves. English, as an international language, is being used in technologically mediated context.

Technology especially the internet presents us with new opportunities for authentic tasks and materials, as well as access to wealth of ready made ELT materials.

The

internet

excellent

opportunities

for

collaboration

and

communication between learners who are geographically dispersed. Technology is offered with published materials such as course books and resources books for teacher. Learners increasingly expect language school to integrate technology into teaching. Technology offers new ways for practicing language and assessing performance. Technology is becoming increasingly mobile. It can be used not only in the class room, lecture hall, computer room or self-access center; it can also be used at home, on the way to school and in internet cafs. Using a range of ICT (Information and communication Technology) tools can give learner exposure to and practice in all of the four main languages skill-speaking, listening, writing and reading.
