INTRODUCTION
1.1 Problem
Background
Referring to
the content based curriculum ( standarisi ), the objective of english subject
of senoir high school students must be able to develop communication competence
in written and spoken skills to reach informational level.There are fourth skills in english as
foreign language there are listening, speaking, reading and writing. Writing as
one of four skill has always been as a part of the syllabus in teaching
english. One of the goal of teaching writing is the student can be write
appropiately and effectively in many kinds of genre, such as descriptive text,
procedure, narrative, recount, etc. Thinking about writing, there are three
principal ways of teaching writing : focus on form, the writer and the reader.
Tribble as cited in supatmi (2009:1)
states that writing is a language skill which is difficult to acquire. The
process of writing is usually more complex than the process speaking. In
writing, the writers have to focus on the purpose of their writing (among
others consideration) because that will effect what language they choose and
how they used it.
Knowing the
content based curriculum , the students are expexted to describe something,
someone and place or its called descriptive text students must be able to
creating good sentence. in write descriptive text students must know such as
subject, verb,object, pronoun,determiner, adjective, and so on. Those are some
of requirements to make correct sentences or grammatically correct, in line
with the sentence before, pronoun is one of the basic things that they must
understand and use it in writing descriptive text.
Many definitions about descriptive can
be found in separated books one of which is that of being defined by Smalley
and Rueten (1985) : a paragraph that explains something from where the objects
being describe are located which is called spatial organization. In short,
descriptive paragraph you must take the location of the objects being describe
very clear. In accordance with this definition, a descriptive paragraph can be
scalled based on the three sense : visual, auditory and smell or called mood.
In
learning, the writer
believe that pronoun is very important in writing English, especially in writing
descriptive text because by
mastery pronoun, the english student will be able to combine some words or
phrases into a sentences, or some sentences in to a good paragraph.but the fact there are many students whocan not speak
english properly, sometime there are confuse to arrange the grammatical
sentences.The mistakes, errors, and confuse that the students make are natural
in process of language learning, but still need treatment so that they can
minimized. In order to determine the most appropriate treatment in the next
teaching program, it seem good to suggest the teacher do an analysis. To make a sentence, the students have a
problem in make a good sentence. One of problem is difficulty in arranging descriptive text
using good pronoun become a good
sentence.
Pronoun is one
of function word which makes the sentence grammatically correct especially in
writing descriptive text, to describe about someone, something or place we need
to know about pronoun well. Especially in
SMPN 5 METRO the students has already thought the students in the second
semester at grade seventh to make their learning process run fluently but there
were some students did not understand about pronoun well.
Besided that,
from year to year the national examination always give the problem related with
pronoun for example :its nice…its refers
to… .In this context it can refers to the meaning, object or subject in the
question.
Considering the
explanation above, this
situation makes researcher interest to analyze the use pronoun in writing
descriptive text.The
research that will be conducted in SMP NEGERI 5 METRO.Furthermore, it relates to kinds of pronoun such as :
subject pronoun,possessivepronoun and reflexive pronoun. Based on the
explanation above, the writer consider to have a title for the research :
“AN
ANALYSIS OF STUDENT’S ERROR OF USING PRONOUN IN WRITING DESCRIPTIVE TEXT OF THE
SEVENTH GRADE OF SMPN 5 METRO IN ACADEMIC YEAR
2013/2014”.
1.2
Research Focus
To avoid misperception about the
problem, the reasercher limits and only will be focus on analysis of the
students error of using pronoun in writing descriptive text at seventh grade of
SMP NEGERI 5 METRO.Based on the problem background that has been explained, the
researcher focuses on the problem of the research, they are :
1) The
students have difficulties in using pronoun in writing descriptive text

listening, reading, speaking, writing with other media or method.
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1
Previous
Research Overview
Based on literature that be done
by researcher in some libraries, many thesis that observed about pronoun and writing descriptive text, and here the researcher
takes 3 previous research overview, there are :
The first is Analysis of student’s error in using pronoun in their
writing ability instructional of the
first grade of SMK MA’ARIF 1 METRO in 2011/2012 byYulianingsih. The researcher analyze error in using pronoun in their
writing ability. The objectives of the research are to find out whether the
students make error in using pronoun, kind of error, when and where make error
in using pronoun in their writing. The conclusion of this research
is the students make some error in using pronoun especially at possesiveadjectiveand
object pronoun. The weakness of this research is the way to take data such as
the observation, because the objective does not want to see the process of
students in the class. The strength of this research
is in the research objective the researcher deeply wants to know the cause of
error.
The second previous research
is “An analysis of students error in using pronoun in simple sentence at
eleventh grade of SMA KARTIKATAMA METRO ODD SEMESTER 2013/2014 by RizkyErischa”.
The researcher analyze error in using pronoun in
simple sentence. The objective of this researh are to know the types of the
students error in using pronoun in simple sentence, the most occurrence errors
by done by the students in using pronoun in simple sentence and the factors of
students error in using pronoun in simple sentence. The researcher analyze the
data with marking, noting, classifying, and analyzing the data. The result of
the research, first the types of the students error in using pronoun simple
sentence are happened at some of possesive pronoun. Second, the total is 79 errors (23%) for possesive
pronoun. Third, the kinds of factor error come from internal and external
factor. The weakness of this research is the researcher only
chooses surface strategy taxonomy to analyze data. The strength of this
research is the researcher analyze the data with many ways.
The third previous research is
“The correlation between students ability in using personal pronouns and their
ability in writing simple present tense sentence at the eight grade of SMPN 7
METRO in academic year 2010/2011” by Purwati. The focus of this research are
students have some difficulties in using personal pronouns, the students
ability to make a good simple present tense sentences, students personal pronoun
mastery, student get difficulty in making a good simple present sentences. The
weakness of this research the first is Y variabel is to simple because simple
sentence is not always in simple present tense.
To sum up, from the previous
research there are some differences between previous research and this research.
First, this research will analyze students error pronoun in writing descriptive
text. Second, the way to take data will be different with the
previous research and the last the form of writing is not only focuses on
writing ability because the analysis focus in this proposal is using pronoun.
2.2
Theoretical Review
Theoretical review here will explain about the concept of error, the concept of analysis, the concept of pronoun, the
concept
of writing, the concept of descriptive text
and procedure in error analysis.
2.2.1
The Concept of Error
Error occurs in human
life. In part of learning, people cannot learn without make some error, but
sometimes we make a mistake lexically. Hornby (1984: 200) states that error
means something done wrong and mistake. The term of error and mistake are
commonly used interchangable, but actually bith are different. It means that
error happen at everyone and both error and mistake are different things.
In line with Hornby
(1982:150) calssify the students error into four categories, which are commonly
used for the descriptive classification of error. They are error types based on
linguistics category taxonomy, surface strategy taxonomy, comparative taxonomy
and communicative effect taxonomy. That categories has different part in
analysis, in this research the researcher will use communcative effect.
Brown (1980:173)
states that error is a noticeable deviation from adult grammar of native
speaker, felecting the inter language competence of the learner. The mistake
refers to a performance factor such as : memory limitation, spelling fatigue,
emotional stain, shortly, the differences between error and mistake is that
error is ungrammatical utterance which refers to the language. Competence while
a mistake is imperfectness of utterances which refers to the language
performance.
In line with Brown,
corder (1981:45) states that there are two kinds of errors those are systematic
and non-systematic errors. The systematics error happen in the condition
learner make it without realizing. Non-systematic error means it happen when
they have known the rule in making sentence but because certain condition of
the learners such as miss writing, fatigue, so it cause them make mistake.
Dullay (1982:146)
error inevutable part of learning and people cannot leran language without
systematically made error. This idea means that error might be happen in
learning language especially in learning english as foreign language student
sometimes can not avoid making an error.
From the previous
explanation, the researcher get the point about the difference error and
mistake. Error and mistake are different things. Error is ungrammatical
utterance which refers to the language. Competence while a mistake is
imperfectness of utterances which refers to the language performance.
2.2.2
The Concept of Analysis
Analysis is the process of
breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a better
understanding of it. The technique has been applied in the study of mathematic
and logicsince before ,Aristotle
(384-322 B.C.)
Analysis
is the most established and esteemed forum in which to publish short
discussions of topics in philosophy. Analysis maintains a distinctive, concise
style and converse a wide range of topic including. Philosophical logic and
political philosophy (Miles,2009). Based on the researcher, analysis is doing
research about problem happen in an area, so that there are the explanation
deepest and the conclusion from that problem.
A
concept analysis is a process of examinating written and unwritten sources of
information on a concept to clarify its uses and meaning. Several nurse
scholars have written and described the process in relation to building theory
(McEwen et, al, 2001, 1). The process is usually done in early theory building
effort or when the literature on the concept in unclear. A concept analysis, as
used in this course assignment, is a rigorous process where by a concept is examined using published written
sources. The students conducting the analysis chooses a concept of interest to her/him
and progresses through a number of steps in analyzing and sinthesizing the
literature to arrive at a complete picture of what the concept looks like : its
causes, characteristic, and consequences.
From
the explanation above the researcher take the conclusion about the concept of
analysis that is a theory to get the deepest information about a case or in the
other words, it is to discovermore about something. In addition, in this study
the researcher do an analysis in writen form.
2.2.3
Concept Of Pronoun
Pronoun is a word that used instead of noun phrase.
Hotband D. Lingga (2008: 68) states there are types of pronoun in englishthgose
are, subject pronoun, object pronoun, possesive pronoun adjective,possesive
pronoun&reflexsive pronoun.
1) Subject pronoun or personal
pronoun ( I, you, they , we, she, he, it
)
Munir (2008:57) states that subject pronoun and
personal pronoun is substitute noun or take the place as a noun. It is devided
into two parts those are singular pronoun ( I, you, she , he, it) and plural pronoun
(they, we, and you )
a) The subject form is used for a
subject of a main clause of a subordinate clause. Example : I call her.
b) The subject form is used for
pronoun that follow verb to be. Example :It
was him at the park.
c) The subject form is used when
the subject of two clauses are being compared. Example :He is the smartest.
2
Object pronoun ( me,
him, her, it, you, us, them )
Munir (2008: 61-62) states that, the object form is
used for a pronoun that functions as the object either direct or indirect of a
verb in a main clause or in suborditane clause. It is devided into two parts
those are singular object pronoun ( me,
you, her, him, and it ) and plural
object pronoun ( us ,you, and them )
Example : she meets him in the class.
3
Possesive adjective ( my , you, your, its, his, her, our, their )
Munir (2008: 67-68)states that possesive adjective
that state belongings. It cannot stand alone and followed by a noun. It is
devided into two parts those are singular possesive adjective ( my, your, her,
his, its) and plural possesive adjective (our,
your, their).
a) Possesive adjective is used to
indicate owner ship by modifying a noun. Example : she brings her wallet.
b) Possesive adjective is used to
modify gerund. Example : we were surprise at her going on trip.
4
Possesive pronoun ( mine, yours , his , hers,its , ours, theirs)
It has meaning possesing or belonging .it can stand
alone and do not followed by a noun. Munir (2008: 64-65) states “ devided into
two parts those are singular possesive pronoun ( mine , your, hers, his ) and plural possesive pronoun ( ours , yours, theirs )
a) To replace a possesive
adjective plus a noun . example : this pen is my pen ( this is mine )
b) After the preposition “of” ,
when it indicate one of several . example : I knew the house of hers two day ago.
c) After verb “to be”. Example : those pencils are theirs.
5
Reflexive pronoun ( myself, yourself, herself, itself, ourselves, themselves)
Reflexive pronoun is a word used to subtitute for
itself. The using in the sentence usually does not followed by a noun. It is
devided into two parts those are singular reflexive pronoun ( myself, yourself,
himself,itself) and plural reflexive pronoun (ourselves, yourselves,
themselves)
a) As a subject of verb when the
subject and the object are the same person. Example : she served herself in the
cafetaria
b) For emphasis. It follows the
subject verb before a prepposition and means the subject did the action alone.
Example : I make this sweater
c) After preposition “by” it
means that the subject did the action alone .example : she likes to shop by
herself.
Based on the explanation before, the researcher take summarize about pronoun. Pronoun is clasified into subject pronoun, object pronoun,
possesive pronoun, possesive adjective and reflexsive pronoun. In this research
the researcher will combine all pronoun, then asked student to make text include
those pronoun above.
2.2.4
Concept of writing
Writing is the representation of language in a textual
medium through the use of a set of sign or symbols. It is distinguished from
ilustration, such as cave drawing and painting and non-symbolic preservation of language via non-textual media, such as magnetic tape audio.
Chakraverti and Gauntum ( 2003:12 ) state that writing
is an important part of language learning is essentially a effective activity
that requires enough time to think about the spesific topic and to analyze and to classify any background knowledge. Then,
the researcher also needs suitable language to structure these ideas in the
form of coherence discourse. In this view, writing is not a product but an activity
of a mental process.
David says that writing is phychological activity of
the language use to put information in the written text. By writing someone can
arrange, letter etc.probably the linguistic skill that is use most of people in
their native language. It means that writing needs a process and spesific skill
to be successful in writing, such as context, organization, vocabullary,
language, grammar, and mechanic.
Based on karef( 1981 :6-7) there are many genres of
writing . those are :
a) Narrative text, the text which
amuses/entertain the readers and tell a story narrative deal with problematic
events which lead to crisis or turning point of some kinds, which turn finds a
resolution. There are three parts of narrative : first is orientation, the second
is complication the story and third is resolution which tells about where the
problem in the story is solved
b) Descriptive text is a kind of
writing text which describe the future of someone , something or certain place
. it has spesific function to give description about an object.
c) Procedure text is kind of text
which help the reader to do or make something completely. Procedure is a set of
step which should completed in the right sequence to get the goal.
d) Recount text is a text that
telling the readers about one story , action, or activity. Its goal to
entertain the readers or inform .there are three part of recount text those are
orientation, where the event took place and the last when it happen.
e) Report is a kind of text which
presents information about something as it is.
f) Explanation is a kind of text
which explain the process involved formulation or working of natural or socio
culture phenomenon.
Those are genres as stated by keraf function as the
foundation and support the research.
The researcher focuses on descriptive text to be discussed in this research.
Based on explanation
above the researcher take the conclusion about the concept of writing, writing is one of english skill that
important and difficult because writing include grammar and structure, and activity of the language use
to put information in the written text.
Based on the definition of writing above, the researcher conclude that writing is a tool of indirect communication. Writing important to be learned because it is used
for communicate in writen form. In this case, the students are expected to be able to
express their ideas and throught in written language.
2.2.5
Concept Of Descriptive Text
According to Haris (1996:68-79) descriptive text is a
kind of the writing text which describe the future of someone, something ar
certain place. It has spesific function to give
description about an object.
a) Purpose
Descriptive text is a text which say what a person or
thing is like .its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place
or thing.
b) Descriptive text structure
1. Identification : identifying
the phenomenon to be describe
2. Description : describing the
phenomenon is parts , qualities and characteristic
c) Language feature
Descriptive text using attributive and identifying
process.Using adjective and classifiers in nominal group.Using simple present
tense.
Based on the
explanation above about concept of descriptive text, it can be conclude
descriptive text is important for the student to know about the rule to
describe something, someone, place etc. Writing decriptive text is an activity
to share about something is like.
2.2.6
Procedure In Error Analysis
Corder (1981:46) states “the process of error analysis
is devided into five stages they are :rocognition, interpretation,
recontruction, classification, and explanation”.
1) Recognition
In the step of recognition the researcher detects or
recognizes the errors made by the students.
2) Interpretation
Interpretation is central to the whole process ,
because the researcher interpretation of what they think the students mean may
determine whether we recognize an error at wall, and will certainly determine
our recontruction.
3) Recontruction
In the process of recontruction, there are two points
that should be considered by the teacher. First, the teacher sometimes needs to
differentiate between what utterances that the students are trying to produce
based on information that they obtain from what the native speakers have produce
in the same context. Second, the necessary version, which the students were
aiming are not the real native – english – speaking teacher.
4)
Classification
The next step oferror analysis is classifying the
students error according to system, combination, or system and according to
purpose of the analysis.
5)
Explanation
As the step explanation of cause students error is not
strictly speaking part of the analysis, it is not included in the section on
the process of analysis.Apart from problems of interpretation the analysis of
error is basically an objective procedure involving classifying and counting.
To sum up, the process of error analysis are classified into five steps those are recognition, interpretation,
recontruction, classification and explanation.
2.3
Thinking Framework
Writing skill is one
of fourth skill in learning language. They are listening, speaking, reading and
writing. Writing skill is the most difficult skill between the others. Because
in writing, the students should not only learn the vocabularies and structure,
but they should understand the way to express their idea. In writing, the
readers are not faced with the writer directly therefore, the writer has to
communicate the message clearly. It has been explain before that in writing
students shold not only focus on vocabulary and structure but also should make
a correct text. It can see from a lot of aspects in writing ability on
descriptive text.
The students writing
ability in descriptive text will provide wider space for the students to express
their idea and their knowledge intensively. The students will be forcedly
motivated how to write descriptive text with good pronoun and they try to learn
more and more about the pronoun in writing descriptive text.
In this case, the researcher will do the test to know the students
understanding in using pronoun and questioner to know the factor of students
error in using pronoun especially internal and external factors and then make
correction and scoring to make analysis in students error of using pronoun.
CHAPTER
III
RESEARCH
METHOD
3.1
Research Design
The research design in this research is qualitative
research. According to Slavin (1992:65)
says “Qualitative research is intended to explore important social phenomena by
immersing the investigator in the situation for extended periods. The same
thing also expressed by Prof. Dr. Sugiyono (2013:1):A method of research is qualitative research methods used to
particularize in the dust, (as its opponent that is an experiment) where researchers
is key, as an instrument engineering data done in triangulation (combined )
inductive, data analysis is results is emphasized on a qualitative of
generalization.
This is a descriptive
qualitative design. It is called descriptive because the research tries to
describe about the analysis of students’error of using pronoun in writing descriptive text at SMP Negeri 5
Metro. There
will be several observations toward teachers teaching performance and the class
condition that they have been conducted. Researcher will take a class from the
grade which conducted by particular teacher and stay observe the teacher for
several times (will be fitted to research permission and time may given for
researcher to done the work). The observation is include collects the data by
writing test and interview with the teacher and students then analyzes the
result.
3.2
Place and Time of Research
In this case the
researcher would explain the place and the time of the research.
3.2.1
Place of the research
This research is conducted in
SMP NEGERI 5 METRO at seventh grade in academic year 2013/2014 as the place of the research. The researcher take SMPN 5
Metro as the place and chooses the research object of the study there since
some consideration such as the situation in class, the distance the school from
the researcher’s campus , the students capability and the aim of the researcher
that want to graduate in the next year.
3.2.2
Time of the research
Time is need to
determine how long the research must be held, it is necessary to arrange the
time schedule of this research. The time of the research will be held at the
second semester at the seventh grade students SMP NEGERI 5 METRO 2013/2014
3.3
Research Informant
The word “informant” is an anthropological concept, a
common term for people one meets in the field and get information from ; and
since the goal of fielswork is to obtain information , it is self-evident that
the informants must have a central place in anthropology.
In this research, the
researcher choose the students in SMPN 5 Metro at the seventh grade in academic
year 2013/2014 as the research subject. In this case the researcher would like
to explain the research informant, in this research it will get the data
through two research informantsthat are :English
teacher and students.
First, researcher will ask the teacher that teach english at
seventh grade of SMPN 5 Metro about curiculum, the students situation when
learning process and material that suitable with pronoun and how students
understanding about the use pronoun in writing descriptive text.
Second, the researcher will ask students
from seventh grade to do writing test about use pronoun in writing descriptive
text. This research will use purposive sampling because the researcher will
take one class from seventh grade after that saw the result of writing test,
and if it have not enough clear the researcher will take one class again to be
observed.
3.4
Research Instrument
According to Brown (2003:3),
test is method of measuring person ability of knowledge or performance in a
given domain. Test can be useful devices, but they are only one among many
procedure and tasks that teacher ultimately use to asses students.
3.4.1
Procedure of instrument
In
this research there are three instrument to complete the data, they are test in
the first time, continue to the observation and then the last is interview,
whit this instrument the researcher can analyze the students of using pronoun
in writing descriptive text completely.
1.
The researcher use
the test to do the research first. This instrument is to know the students error
of using pronoun in writing descriptive text. The process of this test is the
researcher asks the students to write the descriptive text and they make text
with theme “My Family”.
2.
Second, the
researcher uses ceklist in the observation, to check the students error of
using pronoun in writing descriptive text.
3.
Third instument is
interview, the researcher use this instrumen to support the data analyze
students error of using pronoun in their writing.Interview can be used with the
students and the teacher to collect the information.
3.5
Data Collecting Technique
In order to
collect the data, the researcher use :
1. Writing Test
In
collecting the data for this study, the written test will be used. A test is
any procedure for measuring ability, knowledge, or performance (Richards
1985:291). Test is given to help the students assess the effect of
experimentation and to know so far the students can understand what they have
learned. They will be to kinds of the best that will use by the writer.
In this
research, the researcher used writing test. In this kind of the test the
researcher gives the opportunity to the students to make descriptive text by their language performs
with using pronoun from the
list provided in. The researcher gives the test when teaching and learning
English activities.
The
researcher inteded to get the data from english teacher as collecting the data,
to write a descriptive text with theme “My Family”. The data was taken from the
students through writing test, but the researcher does not do the test by her
self. The researcher got the data of the test from english teacher from the
class. English teacher gave the test to the students by giving direction.
2. Observation
The
technique is used to see the students’error of using pronoun in writing descriptive text. The
researcher observation the students’ sentences writing in using pronoun from the test who have done by students.
3. Interview
Interview is
relatively structured and formal. Interview can be used with the students and
the teacher to collect the information about input factory that might influence
students’ pronoun mastery in
writing descriptive text. The
researcheradministered interview to collect the data with teacher and students
opinions on the learning pronoun and to find
out their responses.
3.6
Data Analysis Technique
Data
analysis is the process of organizing the data in order to gain regulary of the
pattern and form the research. The term interpretation can be defined as a
procedure of giving meaning in the result of the analytic process. This
research employs the data qualitative analysis. After collecting the data, the
writer analyzed it in analyzing the data from the observation and interview,
then the researcher make a conclusion and suggestions based on the data had
gathered.
To get the
result, the data that will be collect by the researcher is raw data. Because
this research use descriptive qualitative method so, the analysis technique the
data will use some steps bellow after conduct the test :
1)
Marking all the students error of using pronoun in
writing descriptive text.
2)
Classifying the students error of using pronoun in
writing descriptive text.
3)
Identifying and analyzing the students error of
using pronoun in writing descriptive text to find out the kinds, cause and the
dominant of the students error in using pronoun in writing descriptive text
This is not the time to Swift Boat other authors, but you should clearly differentiate your project from the other books that have already been published on the subject. Grant Writhing
