Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the text structure and register of narrative text written by an expert and students. It employed Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach to analyse the texts. A narrative text written by an expert and three narrative texts written by the tenth grade of senior high school students were used as the primary data. The texts were analysed covering three metafunctions, namely interpersonal, ideational, and textual. The findings demonstrate that the expert’s narrative text conforms the conventional narrative text structure which consists of orientation, complication, and resolution. The specific findings exhibit that the expert’s text is dominated by Material Process and Finite Past. The result of students’ text analysis reflects certain issues – one of which is disorganisation of narrative text structure. Thus, a pedagogical implication has been drawn to enhance students’ ability in writing a more well-structured narrative text. Mind mapping has been chosen as the pedagogical implication under genre-based approach to improve students’ narrative writing ability.
