In teaching English for Senior High School Students, Reading text

become the material which must be taught for the students. There are many kinds

of text type. Report text, Narrative text, Analytical Exposition, Spoof text,

Hortatory Exposition kinds of genre . Most of the students still cannot understand

the simple genre taught by their teacher especially the Eleventh Grade Students of

SMA 2 Kudus. They are still confused how to analyze the generic structure

correctly. Many of them cannot distinguish each of generic structure in a genre.

Their limitation of genre knowledge makes them can not recognize the kind of

genre and the students still difficult to understand the kind of genre. Based on the

background above, the writer would like to do a research entitled “ The Ability of

Identifying Generic Structure of Reading Texts of the Eleventh Grade Students of

SMA 2 Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014”.

The purpose of the research is to find out the extent of the ability of

analyzing the generic structure of reading text of the Eleventh Grade Students of

SMA 2 Kudus in Academic year 2013/2014 and what are the difficulties of

students in analyzing the generic structure of reading text of the Eleventh Grade

Students of SMA 2 Kudus in Academic year 2013/2014.

research is the Eleventh grade students of Class XI Science 4 consist of 30

students of SMA 2 Kudus.

The result of this research shows that the result of analyzing the generic

structure of reading text test that was given to the sample of the eleventh grade

students, the value of mean is 72,6 and standard deviation is5,18. it means, The

ability of Identifying Generic Structure of Reading Text of the Eleventh Grade

Students of SMA 2 Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014 is categorized as good.

The difficulties of students of The highest precentage is 90 % in identifying

hortatory exposition text and the Lowest percentage is 3,33 %. So, the students

Considering the process and the results of this research, the writer

suggests that The teacher should give the clear explanation about the generic

structure of genre, giving the example of analyzingof every text is also important

to improve students’ mastery in reading text. Teacher should pay attention in it, in

order to get the maximal result in examination. The students should study more

ABSTRAK

Amti’ah.2013. Kemampuan Mengidentifikasi Struktur Umum pada Teks Bacaan

pada Siswa Kelas Sebelas pada SMA 2 Kudus Tahun Pelajaran

Key Words : Teks Bacaan, Kemampuan Siswa

Dalam pengajaran bahasa inggris di SMA, Bentuk teks menjadi materi

yang harus diajarkan kepada siswa. Ada banyak jenis teks. Report teks, Narrative

teks, Analytical exposition teks, Spoof text, Hortatory exposition teks adalah jenis

Teks Bacaan. Kebanyakan siswa masih tidak memahami simpel genre yang

diajarkan oleh guru khususnya di Kelas Sebelas di SMA 2 Kudus.Mereka masih

bingung bagaimana menganalisis struktur umum dengan benar. Banyak dari

mereka tidak bisa membedakan tiap struktur umum pada genre.Pembatasan pada

pengetahuan genre membuat mereka tidak dapat mengenali jenis – jenis genre dan

siswa masih kesulitan untuk memahami jenis – jenis genre.Berdasarkan latar

belakang masalah diatas, penulis ingin melakukan penelitian dengan judul

“Kemampuan Mengidentifikasi Struktur Umum pada Teks Bacaan pada siswa

Kelas Sebelas pada SMA 2 Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2013/2014”.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan

menganalisis Struktur Umum pada Teks Bacaan Siswa kelas Sebelas di SMA 2

Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2013/2014 dan apa kesulitan siswa dalam menganalisis

Struktur Umum pada Teks Bacaan Siswa Kelas Sebelas di SMA 2 Kudus Tahun

Pelajaran 2013/2014.

Penelitian ini adalah Deskriptif Kuantitatif.Subyek dari penelitian ini

adalah Siswa kelas Sebelas IPA 4 terdiri dari 30 siswa di SMA 2 Kudus.

Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil dari analisis tes struktur

umum pada teks bacaan yang telahdiberikan kepada siswa kelas sebelas.Nilai rata

– rata adalah 72,6 dan standar deviasi adalah 5,18. Itu berarti “Kemampuan

Mengidentifikasi Struktur Umum pada Teks Bacaan pada Siswa Kelas sebelas

pada SMA 2 Kudus Tahun Pelajaran 2013/2014 kategorinya adalah baik.

Prosentase kesulitan siswa adalah 90 % di dalam mengidentifikasi hortatory

exposition.Prosentase terendah adalah 3,33 %. Jadi, siswa masih kesulitan

memahami hortatory exposition teks.

Mempertimbangkan proses dan hasil penelitian ini, penulis menyarankan

bahwa guru harus memberikan penjelasan yang jelas tentang struktur umumpada

genre, dengan memberikan contoh menganalisis setiap teks juga penting untuk

memperbaiki kemampuan siswa di dalam teks bacaan. Guru seharusnya

memberikan perhatian di dalamnya, di dalam mendapatkan hasil ujian yang

maksimal. Siswa seharusnya belajar lebih dalam lagi tentang Reading teks

khususnya Struktur Umum pada teks bacaan.
