ABSTRACT
From the research data it can be seen that the students' ability in writing
narrative texts is included in the Good category. This can be seen from the
average score of students obtained in class B 74.9. The data can show that the
average level of students' writing ability is good. However, when viewed from the
individual abilities of each student, it is certainly very different. In this study,
there were 8 students in class A who had very good narrative text writing skills, or
about 38% of the total students in that class. Then 4 students have sufficient
writing ability, which is around 18%. and 2 students with poor writing skills or
around 10%. Of the 22 students who passed the test in class A, only 18 students
and 4 other students did not pass the exam. Then only 17 students out of 24 class B
students passed the narrative text test or about 68% with individual results, 9
people got very good grades, 6 other students got good grades, 1 other student got
bad grades.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In English, there are four skills that should be mastered, they are listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. Writing skill becomes very important in education
because the student should study continuously about writing. The students need to
have writing skill in their daily life to report something. They have to put words
on the paper, to express and deliver their messages. They need to write, perform
and complete the tasks given by the teacher or instructor. In short, writing skills

in writing, they will not be able to communicate well A.S Walsh (2010). Writing
requires a long process because a piece of writing must have a logical idea so that
stated that “writing is the mental work of inventing ideas, thinking about how to
express them, and organizing them into statements and paragraphs that will be
clear to reader”.
There are many kinds of the texts can be used in writing form such as
argumentation. They are very useful for the teacher to achieve the instructional
goals of teaching learning process and they can also be enjoyable for students. To
facilitate students in mastering writing skill, the researcher choose text narrative

events from the beginning, middle, and end. Narrative is a story that should be
related to the story and have a function to entertain the reader. When writing a
narrative text, the story should be written in sequence, so that there is a general
follow-up structure that is directive, where the writer tells the audience about the
characters in the story, where the story is going, and when the action takes place.
Simply, the writer tells the reader about the background of the story. Next, event

information shared with the reader can add insight. In other words, we can

Reading, writing, listening, and speaking are the four language skills.
Writing and speaking are useful abilities. That is, they require the production of
language rather than the reception of it. According to Sokolik (2003), Writing is a
combination of process and product. This process refers to collecting ideas and
processing them until they are presented in a sophisticated way for the reader to
understand.

writing is very useful in our live because we can communicate with our readers

over a period of time, especially given the long period of reflection prior to the
creation of the first draft. Furthermore, he also states (1993:122) that writing is a

4.2 Discussion
Of the 22 students in class A who took the test in this study, only 18
students, and for class B, only 17 students took the test out of 24 students. From
the research data above, it can be seen that the students' ability to write narrative
texts is included in the Good category. This can be seen from the average student
score obtained Class B 74,9. The data can show that the average level of students'
writing is good.
course, the results will be different, for example in class A students who have a
very good level of writing narrative text, there are 8 students or about 38% of the
total number of students in the class, 4 students have good writing skills, or
around 18%. , 4 students or 18% have the ability to write adequate narrative texts

For class B students out of 24 students who took the narrative text writing
test, only 17 students or around 68% with individual results 9 people got very good
grades, 6 other students got good grades, 1 other student got a less good grades.
Student 1 raised the narrative text with the title Timun Emas which has 85
points on the content aspect with Very Good criteria because it has complete
content, tells the story of Timun Emas which is complete and structured. then the
appropriate so that the reader can understand what is written in the narrative text
even though there are still some that are not perfect. then the grammar used gets a
result of 85 because the grammar used in writing narrative text is good, it can be
seen from the results of the text that is made, the use of grammar or language
gets a result of 90 this can seen in the narrative text that is made using the right
vocabulary and appropriate terms. finally the mechanics obtained a result of 90,
namely the accuracy in writing, both spelling, grammar and capital letters used
were very good. The results or percentages obtained are 87 in the very good
category.
33
Student 2 has 35 points of content aspect with content criteria with Fairly
bad criteria Level: Limited knowledge of a narrative text that is made, little
organizational aspect, there are 40 points with less to moderate criteria: Somewhat
disjointed, loose, organized but the main ideas to be conveyed are still lacking,
limited support, inappropriate and incomplete sequences. And overall still lacking.
In the vocabulary aspect, there are 30 points with less criteria, errors often occur,
word forms/idioms are not appropriate, usage but meaning is not clear. And
overall still lacking in writing. In the aspect of using language, it has 45 points
the language used, there are errors in choosing words in sentences, overall, writing
is still lacking. And the last one on the mechanical aspect has 60 points of spelling

Student 3 gets points for the content category of 85 points with the title of
the narrative text which is written with the title Timun Emas, based on the content
written explaining the content that is in accordance with the flow of the narrative
text from Timun Emas, then the content can be said to be appropriate so that it can
narrative text on this topic, the result is 85, because in the story it explains the
relevant relationships of each plot of the text that is made so that it can be said to
be very good, for the grammar used in the story, the result is 80 points where there
are still some mistakes were made but these mistakes can still be understood so
they don't change the storyline significantly, then the vocabulary gets 85 points
because the vocabulary used is correct and good, although there are still terms that
are not quite right, it is very good, the last mechanic gets a result of 85 where the
use of spelling or punctuation is very good. And overall obtained 84 results with a
writing narrative text where it gets 90 points because the spelling and punctuation
used is very good and can be categorized perfectly. Broadly speaking, the
35
Student 8 in the content section of the narrative text which was made to
obtain 85 results with the title Sangkuriang, in terms of the contents of the text it is
quite complete telling the story of Sangkuriang from childhood to adulthood but
there is still not enough narrative text content but it can be said that it is very good,
apart from that for the organization in the text also gets 85 points where the story
made is clear enough so that when read it can explain the story of Sangkuriang,
then for the grammar used get a score of 80 in the Sangkuriang narrative text the
sentences used as connectors are good but still lacking in grammar a little so it can
narrative text that is made is very good because it uses the appropriate vocabulary
or the appropriate terms are used, and finally the mechanics, namely how to write
where the use of spelling and punctuation both commas and dots earn 85 points
because it is already very good, basically the percentage obtained from the value
obtained from the several categories above is 84 with a very good category.
In the narrative text that is made with the title Sangkuriang, the content
that is made only gets 40 points because the content that is made is incomplete and
is only made so that it does not explain in full, besides that the organization only
gets 45 points because the content that is made does not explain narrative text is
complete and categorized very lacking,Not only that, the grammar that is used is
still very lacking and only gets 35 results. The grammar patterns used are not
structured and appropriate, so it is very unclear in the narrative text that is made,
the vocabulary used also only gets 40 points because it is still very lacking. apart
from that writing mechanics such as spelling and punctuation are also still very
36
lacking and only get 40 points a lot of spelling and punctuation that is written is
not appropriate such as the use of capital letters that are not in the right place or
punctuation that is not in the right place, if the results are presented can be 40 with

5.1 Conclusion
After getting and analyzing the data in the previous chapter, the writer
presents the conclusion in the last part of this paper. Conclusions were drawn
the data shows that in the ability to write narrative texts of students using the
Jacob technique, there are five aspects in this technique, namely: content,
make students understand narrative text in the generic structure of narrative text:
introduces the main character, setting, and time. This is to make it easier for
students to use, who, where, and when. Generally some students make
complications and resolutions just the way and other students make their
experiences right.
From the research data above, it can be seen that the students' ability to
write narrative texts is included in the Good category. This can be seen from the
average student score obtained. B 74.9. The data can show that the average level
course, the results will be different, for example in class A students who have a
very good level of writing narrative text, there are 8 students or about 38% of the
total number of students in the class, 4 students have good writing skills, or
around 18%. , 4 students or 18% have the ability to write adequate narrative texts
and 2 students or 10% have low writing skills. Of the 22 students in class A who
took the test, only 18 students and 4 students others do not take the test. For class
52
B students out of 24 students who took the narrative text writing test, only 17
students or around 68% with individual results 9 people got very good grades, 6
other students got good grades, 1 other student got low grades.
5.2 Suggestion
From the conclusion above, there are some suggestions that are proposed that
1 The teacher should be teaching the students in writing based on their prior
knowledge.
2 The teacher should be providing writing texts to be taught that are closely
especially in writing.
3 Students should realize that writing is one of the language skills that they
improvement in writing.

1 The writer hopes that the other researchers will continue to find the other
a similar topic of discussion that they can do better than what the writer has
