5 CONCLUSION
As explained previously, this study assesses students’
syntactic awareness in Bahasa Indonesia. The
quantitative data were analysed by using MS. Excel
2010. According to the result, it can be concluded that
children ages 5-6 years have had a high syntactic
awareness. It can be seen from the test results that
children are able to answer more than 50% of the
answers correctly. The finding is similar with Nation
and Snowling (2000), that children are able to answer
active sentence rather than passive sentence. In other
way, the students were had difficulties in correcting
jumbled sentence, specifically on passive sentence.
