CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents background of study, statement of problems, purposes of
the study, significances of the study, scope and limitation, and definition of key
terms. Each section is presented consecutively in the following section.
1.1Background of Study
In Indonesia, English is taught in school as a foreign language. As a foreign
language, English is only taught in schools a subject of instructions, it is not used as
official communication.
Realizing the important of English nowadays, our government states that,
English should become a compulsory subject at school. It is taught from junior high
school to university and it becomes one of the subjects in National Test (UN).
Because of that students need to understand spoken and written English to
communicate their ideas effectively.
Today, Indonesian students have serious problem in English teaching learning
process. In second language writing, the teaching of writing in ESL and other foreign
language have not surprisingly, coincided with those of the teaching of other skill,
especially listening and speaking (Brown, 2000:334). The student cannot decide
topics and they are still confuse to classify subtopics into topics that appropriate with
the theme in English articles that they would to write, because they cannot organize
or classify subtopics according to the topics and theme at article in English. This is of
course due their lack of understanding in the English language especially in the
planning to draft the article that will be share about teaching learning technique by
using Mind-mapping in order to implimentation student’s writing skill.
There are many reasons that make the students have low achievement in
writing. The first, students found difficulties to write because writing is sometimes
2 Brown, (2001). They do not have any idea to write. Their grammar and vocabulary is
not good, and also they are not confident use their own language. When someone
wants to write for a specific purpose, they have to think who will be their audience
and how provide the information the readers need to know in their writing.
The second reason is not only from students themselves, but also from
teacher. In interpretation neither teacher or student are randomly assigned to class
rooms, attributing teacher and teaching quality to student achievement gains is not
straight forword (Desimone, 2007). But, the teacher only asks the students to read the
text, translate the text by using dictionary, and rewrite the translation. The students
are not asked to practice their writing ability. In addition, the teacher never makes
variation in teaching and learning process. This situation made the students’
motivation in writing decrease. So, teacher has high responsibility to improve
students’ achievement in writing. Teacher has to create interesting activities in the
classroom. So that, students can develop their ideas in writing.
Based on the researcher experience in teaching writing recount text at SMPN
1 Batu, the difficulties in writing is not only related with finding the right words and
using the correct grammar, but also about generating the ideas. Most of the students
always feel confused when they want to start writing. They have difficulties to
discover what they want to write and how they develop it. It took a long time before
they start writing. They often got stuck in expressing their ideas and put it into right
words, phrases, and sentences in the target language.
There are various ways to organize the sentences in a piece of writing. One of
them is recount text. Recount text tells what happened, the purpose of actual recount
text is to document a series of events and evaluate their significance in some way.
The purpose of literary or story recount text is to fell a sequence of events so that it
entertains or informs. The story recount text has expressions of attitude and feeling,
usually made by the narrator about the events. Usually, the students have difficulty to
3 teaching recount text in writing is difficult for them because they lack vocabulary,
spelling, and grammar. The same condition is also found in SMPN 1 Batu.
