PENANAMAN PENGETAHUAN VERB DALAM BAHASA INGGRIS UNTUK PENGAJARAN WRITING

Abstract

Failure made by my students of Writing 01 class in recognizing and using verbs in different functions equipped by their counterparts, that are auxiliaries, triggered me to compose particular materials of writing class: the basic level. This insight is mostly based on the concept offered by Deterding and Poedjosoedarmo (2002) on verbs. This is then supported by other concepts on verbs, combined together with my resume on how to make ease students’ comprehension on verbs in relation to the implementation of predicates, in terms of verbal and nominal sentences as the core. I argue that these sequence of materials with emphasis on verbs are beneficial, in a way that these will break down student’s failure on comprehending what parts of speech are, what verbs and their forms as well as their functions, how the verbs are applied in tenses, how to use other forms of verbs, i.e. have + past participle, to be + past participle, and such. Yet, this insight is expected to contribute to the teaching learning activities, in particular, for the sake of implanting knowledge on verbs to students that help them in obtaining writing ability.
