Abstract

This study investigates how the implementation of Genre-Based Approach can help students to write a Descriptive text in one public junior high school in Lembang, West Java. This study also investigates students’ responses towards the implementation of genre-based approach to teaching writing Descriptive text. This study utilizes a case study research design. The data were obtained from classroom observation, analysis of students’ texts, and interview with students. Data from classroom observation were analyzed using a thematic analysis to investigate the implementation of genre-based approach. The students’ writing products were analyzed in terms of the description of schematic structures, including the analysis of general statement and description, and linguistic features of Descriptive text as proposed by Derewianka (2004), Emilia (2010, 2012), Gerot and Wignell (1994), Knapp & Watkins (2005). The analysis is based on of Systemic Functional Linguistics including Transitivity system and Conjunction as proposed by Gerot and Wignell (1994), Halliday (1994), and Eggins (2004). Finally, the interview data were analyzed in steps including transcribing, categorizing, and interpreting the data relating them to the theory. Data from the study reveal that the implementation of genre-based approach to teaching descriptive text can help develop students’ writing ability. This can be seen from the students’ decriptive texts which improved in terms of schematic structure and linguistic features with the teacher’s corrective feedback in all stages of teaching. Moreover, the interview data reveal that generally the students gave positive responses to the teaching program, that the program can help them express ideas on their texts. Based on the findings, it is recommended that Genre-Based Approach should be used in teaching different genres and different levels of schooling.
