Summary

Penelitian ini berjudul An Analisis of Students 'Recount Text by Using Systemic Functiona Grammar bertujuan menyelidiki teks Recount yang ditulis oleh siswa dengan mengidentifikasi struktur skematik dan fitur linguistik dari teks teresebut. Sumber data enam buah Recount teks yang ditulis oleh mahasiswa semester delapan Jurusan Bahasa Inggris sebagai responden. Untuk menganalisis teks, transitivity dari functional grammar yang dikembangkan oleh Halliday (1994) telah diterapkan untuk mengidentifikasi fitur-fitur linguistik teks Recount. Sementara itu, struktur skematik Recount diadopsi dari Anderson dan Anderson (2003) yang digunakan untuk menganalisis struktur skematik. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kebanyakan siswa tampaknya mampu menerapkan struktur skematik Recount karena mereka menempatkan struktur skematik dengan benar dalam paragraf yang berbeda. Namun masih ada satu mahasiswa (penulis teks 6) yang menempatkan struktur skematik dalam satu paragraf saja. Mengenai fitur linguistik, hamper semua siswa mempunyai masalah dalam membedakan antara penggunaan simple present tense, past tense, frase preposisional, kata kerja teratur dan tidak teratur. Oleh karena itu, disarankan bagi para siswa untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan latihan lagi dalam menulis, terutama dalam menulis Recount. Abstract The present study entitled An Analysis of Students' Recount Text by Using Systemic Functional Grammar aims at investigating students' writing Recount text by identifying schematic structure and linguistic features of the text. The data resources were six pieces of Recount text written by the eighth semester students of English Department who were treated as respondents. To analyze the texts, transitivity of functional grammar developed by Halliday (1994) was applied to identify the linguistic features of the texts. Meanwhile, the schematic structure of Recount is adopted from Anderson and Anderson (2003) which was used to analyze the schematic structure of the text. The findings show that most students seemed to be able to apply the schematic structure of Recount because they put the schematic structure correctly in different paragraphs. However there was still one student (the writer of text 6) who put the schematic structure in one paragraph only. Dealing with the linguistic features, most students likely found problems in differentiating between the use of simple present tense, past tense, prepositional phrases, regular and irregular verbs. Therefore, it is recommended for the students to improve their knowledge and practice more in writing, particularly in writing Recount.
