AN ANALYSIS OF THE ELEVENTH-GRADE STUDENTS’ ABILITY TO WRITE NARRATIVE TEXT AT SMAN 7 PADANG
Abstrak
ABSTRACT
This research aimed to describe the eleventh grade students’ ability in writing narrative text at SMAN 7 Padang. The study applied a descriptive design with 36 students selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a writing test and analyzed by an inter-rater technique, which showed high reliability (0.89). The findings revealed that 97.2% of students had high ability, but weaknesses remained in re-orientation (91.6% low). It can be concluded that although students’ overall ability was high, more practice and guidance are required in re-orientation.
Key words: writing, ability, narrative text.
