INTRODUCTION
A.Background of the Study
English as an international language has been used by most of people in the world. English has become one of important subjects in Indonesian schools.English is taught in Junior High School and Senior High School, even in elementry school. Studying English is not a new thing for the students of Senior High School before.By mastering English we can comunicate with other people who speak English.
As we know that English is not the Indonesian native language. It is difficult for the students to remember all the words in English and to understand when someone speaking English. According to Oshima and Hogue (1999: 3), writing is particularly academic writing is not easy. So the teacher must create the subject so that the student can stdudy the subject easily. Besides, the kinds of the textcan also be important in teaching English in order to make the writing teaching succesful.In the process of writing, a writer should explore her mind to find new ideas that make her writing meaningful and express her thoughts and feeling to the readers. Writing is also a process of communicating the writer’s idea to the reader in a written form.In the teaching and learning process of writing, the teacher has an important role.
John (1997: 12) states that
“teacher’s role is to help students develop viable strategies for getting
started (finding topics, generating ideas and information, focusing and
planning, structure and procedure), for drafting, (encouraging multiple
drafts of redaing), for revising (adding, deleting, modifying and
rearranging ideas), and for editing (attending to vocabulary, sentence,
structure, grammar, and mechanics)”.
Thus, teaching writing should be priority for students at Senior High School. By using procedure text as a genre for teaching writing, the students will be more interest in and easy to study. According to Bima (2005:73)
