CHAPTER

INTRODUCTION
A.
The Background of Study
Writing
is an activity in communication, because by writing, the writer can express
their opinions, ideas, and feeling into writing form. In education, writing is a
subject which requires students with knowledge in order to deliver and organize
ideas orderly where the students should know the strategies how to do it.
Therefore, the students need to learn and practice some strategies in writing.
(Graham, 2007: 32)
In
writing, students are demanded to deliver idea orderly by relating one idea
into another whether in a form of paragraph, passage or essay (Heaton, 2006:
47. The first thing that all its should do is; find the topic which is stated
in topic sentence and than collect some supporting details which are related to
the topic. Topic is what the writer talks about and topic sentence is the most general
statement of the paragraph. To make topic sentences, the writer has to express
his or her ideas in other to produce a good paragraph. The writers also need to
support the ideas, so that the writer makes supporting sentences to support the
ideas, the writer develops the topic sentence by giving specific details about
the topic. The purpose of arranging the ideas orderly is to help the reader
understood the writing. However it is not easy especially for the students.
Students
of SMA have some problems in delivering their ideas because they are not sure
about grammar, vocabulary, and syntax that was use in order to makes their writing
good. They cannot speak English well and lack of vocabularies. However, they
need teacher’s guidance during the learning process. The teacher’s guidance is needed
to find the topic and how to produce a good writing, because in teaching-learning
process, teacher is as source of information, as informant, teacher should give
explanation to the students clearly.
One
way to increase their writing ability is CORE. CORE is an acronym of Connecting,
Organizing, Reflecting, Extending. The CORE learning model invites students to
think deeply. According to Jacob (Yuniarti Santi: 2013), CORE model is one of the
learning models based on constructivism. In other words CORE model is a learning
model that can be used to enable learners in building their own knowledge.
Based
on the reason above, the researcher tented to choose the title “The Effect of Applying
CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting, Extending) Technique on the Students'
Writing Ability in Narrative Text”.
B.
The Identification of Problems
The
problems of this reseach can be identified as follows:
1. The
effect of using CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting, Extending) on the
students’ writing ability in narrative text.
C.
The Scope and Limitation
The
scope in this research focused on the application of CORE (Connecting,
Organizing, Reflecting, Extending). The limitation in this research is the
students’ writing ability in narrative text.
D.
The Formulation of the Problems
The
problems of this study are formulated as follows:
1. Is
there any effect of using CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting, Extending)
on the students’ writing ability in narrative text?
E.
The Objective of the Study
The
objectives of the study are formulated as follows:
1. To
find out the effect of using CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting,
Extending) to the students’ writing ability in narrative text.
F.
The Significance of the Study
The
writer hopes that this research gives some benefits for teaching learning
English both in theoretically and practically benefit.
1. Theoretically
Related to this research, the
writer hopes that this research can be used as reference (Harmer, 1998) for other
researcher who wants to conduct research about writing.
2. Practically
The writer expects that the results of the study would be useful for:
a. Teachers, to provide the English teachers a plan and to conduct a better and interesting learning process, used as an alternative method.
b. Students, who want to know how to understand writing through CORE (Connecting, Organizing, Reflecting, Extending) to improve their writing ability in narrative text.
c. The results of this study hopefully will provide information for those who are interested in this study.
