Abstract

For most foreign language learners, understanding texts written in a foreign language is not an easy thing to do. To help learners in coping with this problem, when teaching reading teachers should provide them with a number of structured tasks that not only focus on students’ reading purpose, but also allow them to confront and reflect upon reading difficulties in socially interactive ways and one of the activities which is appropriate with these tasks is Directed Reading Activity (DRTA). The objective of the research is to compare the behavior of the English reading class students before and after the implementation of DRTA. The subjects of this research were 3 students of LBB Teladan Kudus. The conclusion is that the behavior of the students is better than that before the implementation of DRTA. The students become motivated, active, enthusiastic, paid attention to the teaching learning process, and got involved in the teaching learning process. Considering that DRTA has many benefits for learners especially dealing with learners’ behaviors, it is suggested that this activity should be used by the teacher when teaching reading.

The number of sample is 36 students from X MIPA 4 which are taken by using cluster random sampling technique. The researcher uses test as the instrument of the research. The test is in the form of writing test to know the students’ writing ability before and after being taught by using Instagram as a media. The result of the research shows that the students’ mean score have an improvement from 6.8 to 8.8 and from good categorize to excellent categorize. And the standard deviation from the students score has decreased from 0.89 to 0.83 which means that the students’ post-test score is well distributed than the pre-test score. The calculation of t-test shows that the Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. It is because the to (t obtain) falls in the critical region and to (t obtain) is more than tt (t critical). The to (t obtain) is 5.3 while the tt (t critical) is 2.042. In conclusion, there is a significant difference between students’ writing recount text before and after being taught by using Instagram as a media.  Key Words: Instagram, Media, Recount Text, English Writing

Abstract

Due to the global era, bachelor thesis abstracts written by non-native English speakers (Indonesians) from non-English departments in Indonesia are usually written in two languages, i.e. Indonesian and English. The English bachelor thesis abstracts are mostly the translated ones from Indonesian and do not always follow the features of abstract genre. This study aims  at examining the rhetorical moves of English bachelor thesis abstracts written by students from non-English departments. The data consisted of twenty abstracts selected randomly from hard and social science departments of Universitas Muria Kudus. The analysis employed Hyland’s five rhetorical move model. The study reveals that most English bachelor thesis abstracts did not follow the five rhetorical moves. The absence of some rhetorical moves in the English bachelor thesis abstracts may lead to the communicative purposes not achieved and thus might cause difficulty for readers to understand the study.Keywords: move, English bachelor thesis abstract, Indonesians
