INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Language is an effective way of communication of our feelings. Therefore,
It is may be confined only to human beings for communication intention.
Carney (1990) defined language as a set of a few specified vocal symbols
that help the human beings to communicate with others. According to
Hadely (2001), language is a set of sounds by means of which feelings,
thoughts and sentiments are conveyed to other human beings. A newly born
baby is unable to speak. The child learns the language with the passage of
time as he/she interacts with others. In the beginning he makes various
meaningless isolated sounds. It takes time to learn a language. Finally he
acquires language and grammatical construction of the language of his
group by imitation. Human language is transferred from one generation to
another generation through a sound learning process.
Language learning is really important for human’s social development.
People communicate with one to another by using language. Nowadays,
English holds the key as the international language. The use of the English
language is needing in many fields. Even in countries where English is not
as first language and not as the basic of English, a basic knowledge of
2
Talking about learning English, is not only talking about speaking, listening
and reading, but also writing. Because, in learning English, students use
both speaking and writing in order to communicate with another. The
students start learning to communicate through written form as they begin to
interact with others at school level. The writing skill is more complicated
than that of other language skills. Even sometimes a native speaker of the
English language may experience complication in a tricky situation.
Basically the writing skill requires a well-structured way of the presentation
of thoughts in an organized and planned way. Sentence or a text, the
students have to focus on the rules of writing such as topic of paragraph,
body of paragraph, conclusions of paragraph and so on.
Recount text is a kind of text which has purpose to retell past experience.
Recount text has three generic structures, they are orientation, sequences of
events and re-orientation. Writing recount text means that the students are
able to applying their writing skill in writing recount. Recount text is one of
genre that tells an event or events that have occurred and one of genre that
taught by some existing genres.
Based on study, ideally the students are able to create a form of recount.
Because the students’ writing is an idea that they get from their own life,
beside that, in junior high school level they have taught, so they should have
3
Based on the researcher’s experience in field teaching practice (PPL) at
SMA Pembangunan Galang especially first grade of senior high school in
academic 2015/2016 the researcher found the problems in writing. when
they write along paragraph, they are not interest because often do not
understand to make words in write the paragraph. So, the students feel that
English lesson is boring. Students also lack of grammar and tenses, less of
vocabulary and none of ideas. All of those factors make the students to have
low motivation in learning English, especially in writing.
Interesting technique can be stimulates the students to learn, it will make
easier for them to receive the material, so the goal of teaching learning will
be achieved. Text-less comic involve making a visual record of invention
and inquiry. It helps writer think and explore about topic and its details from
the pictures on the comic. The main aim using text-less comic is to create
fun atmosphere in teaching and learning process, so students are interested
in English especially in writing. The researcher hopes that by text-less
comic students will be active as participants and they have more chance to
express their minds, ideas and imagination. They will feel something new
and different from what they usually get in their class. This media is
expected to help the students in generating ideas before writing so that they
can write smoothly based on text-less comic they got.
Based on the background above, the researcher will conducted a study on
