THE EFFECT OF USING PROCESS-GENRE APPROACH ON THE TENTH GRADE STUDENTS’ DESCRIPTIVE TEXT WRITING ACHIEVEMENT AT SMA NEGERI 1 PAKUSARI

Abstract

Writing is one of the language skills that should be mastered by the students. It plays an important role in the process of learning English. For Indonesian students, writing has been considered as the most difficult skill to master. It is because writing is not only about organizing and generating ideas using appropriate choice of vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, but also turning the ideas into readable text. In this case, the teacher needs to use an appropriate approach in teaching writing. As a combination of process approach and genre based approach, process-genre approach has been recently regarded as an effective approach to teach writing. Thus, the researcher came to the idea to conduct an experimental research to know the effectiveness of process-genre approach in teaching writing.
