researchh and deveelopment (R R&D) methhod. The qu ualitative data
d relatedd to respond dents in
general view on thhe model developed andd that of thee instruction nal model oof narrative writing.
The ressult of the field testinng through one group pretest-posst-test desiggn showed that the
student post-test average
a writting scores were signifficantly greeater than thhose of the pretest.
The ressult of testinng through pretest-post

A. Inttroduction
1. Back
kground of the Probleem
In learnning Englissh as the foreign
f langguage, we have to kn now the fouur basic sk kills and
compreehension. The four skills are reaading, speak king, writin
ng, and listtening. In learning
Englishh, writing iss the most difficult
d shaall to masterry because writing
w connsists of oth
her skills
and lannguage com mponents, such
s as orgganization, vocabulary y, and struccture. Furthhermore,
Donn B
Byrne ( 19884: 3) stated
d that,” Wee can now begin
b to seee why writiing is comm
monly a
difficultt activity foor most peoople, both iin the mothher tongue and
a in a forreign language. We
look att the problems which h are causeed by writiing under three
t headiing; psycho
ological,
linguisttic, and cognnitive, altho
ough these iinevitably overlap
o to so
ome extent.””
Writingg is applicaation of inteellectually, would shaare anything g and makee changes in i many
aspects of life by thheir writing
g, writing caan measure how many products off intellectuaal people
produceed by the coountry. We know that many book ks needed not only for education, but also
econommics, politicss, religion, and
a other asspects, but in
n general we still adoptt from foreig
gn book.
This is a proof off the lack writer
w in ourr country. Actually,
A In
ndonesia haas many inteellectual
people with their skill
s and knnowledge; hhowever mo ost of them
m are not skkilled to appply their
knowledge in writiing book.
Writingg is an activvity that can n be calledd as Re-creaation and Recreation
R RRichards (19986: 21)
stated thhat, “To re--create meaans to give fresh life too something g. Wheneveer someone paints a
picture or writes a poem orr even exp resses an opinion o thaat person iss using hiss or her
imaginaation to seee the world a little diffferently any yone else seees it. Writin
ing is the means
m by
which yyour choicee of what to t focus onn and give urgent emp phasize to, becomes a shared
experiennce. Writingg can also give
g both em motional and d aesthetic pleasure;
p thiis, we mightt call the
recreatiional as welll as the re--creation asppects of wrriting.” Therre are manyy ways to share
s the
feeling by writing as re-creatio on and recrreation in to writing pro oduct writiing productts can be
found aanywhere, forf examplee, when we go to the store s bookss we can finnd books an nd other
writing products; such
s as, maggazine, tablooid, story book, biograaphy, etc.
Collegee students should
s masster writing skill becau use there are
a generatiions who will w give
contribuution to thee future by their
t knowlledge and skills. Studeents can shaare their kno owledge
and expperience byy providing g books annd articles. In this caase, studentts can mak ke good
arrangeements and write exp perience onnly by learn ning writin
ng skills, eespecially narrative
n
writing. They mustt have good d ability in iit. Here, leaarn to make narrative esssay writing
g is very
importaant becausse of some aspects; nar arrative essaay will help students too find the problems
p
around them in thhe past or already
a happpened, they y have more ideas to ssolve the problems
p
becausee they learnn from experriences. F Furthermoree, students area able to m make other kinds of
writing products inn order to bee read by otthers and wo ould make a better chan
ange for hum man life.
Narrativve essays reely on concrrete and sennsory detaills to convey
y people's ppoint of view

details create a uniified, forcefful effect, a dominant impression in essay onn reader. As one of

comprisses four basic stages: planning, ddrafting, rev vising and editing.
e Moore specifically, the
stages oof writing begin
b with selecting a topic, form
mulating iddeas, planniing and org ganizing,
writing,, revising, editing
e and rewriting tto produce the final text. To writte the narrattive text
throughh those stagees, the students need too have the knowledge
k about
a the chharacteristiccs of the
text: funnction, geneeric structurre, and gram
mmatical features used in the text.. Thus, in th he initial
stage, thhe teaching--learning off narrative w
writing shou
uld be directted to build student' kno owledge
about nnarrative texxt, (Syah, 20006: 144).
The seccond compoonent of a go ood instructtional modeel is social system. It reefers to the situation
s
of the teeaching-leaarning proceess. To makke students learn writing g in optimall way, they must be
viewed as dynamicc individualls who havee some diffeerences, inclluding they are learnin ng speed.
Therefoore, the teaching-learn ning activitiies of narraative writingg should coonsider the student
learningg speed. Duulay, Burt an nd Krashenn (1982: 262 2) state that learners leaarn most froom their
peers annd from peoople with whom
w they iidentify. Th
hese need thhe implemeentation of teacher's
t
role as ttrainer and a guide and
d student rolle as negotiators.
The thirrd componeent of a good instructio nal model is i reaction or
o response ssystem refeers to the
way thee teacher ressponds to th he text writteen by the stuudents in thee teaching-llearning proocess. Its
main obbjective is to
t help the students wrrite their beest text baseed on their learning sp peed. To
achievee this objectiive, the teaccher should pplay as a traainer, guide and facilitaator and the students
are as nnegotiators (Brown,
( 20001: 340).
In addittion, the teaacher shouldd avoid corrrection all th
he times to correct the grammatical errors
since it is not an efffective witth the idea, Dulay, Burrt and Krash hen (1982: 2263) state th
hat each
grammaatical correction canno ot help the learners to avoid mak king errors. Many stud dents are
often coonfused andd frustrated with the coorrection or comments since they don't know what to
do withh them. Connsequently, there are too continue writing.
w Broown (2001: 355-356) proposes
p
that responses to thhe first drafft should bee directed on
o global errors and thoose of revissed draft
should bbe focused on local errrors.
The fouurth compoonent is sup pporting sysstem. This componentt refers to aanything neeeded to
ng-learning. This can bee in the form
supportt the processs of teachin m of instrucctional mateerial and
media. In relation to the teachhing-learninng of narrative writing,, the supporrting system
m can be
dictionaary, studentt worksheet or models of texts arraanged in thee form of sttudent workksheet to
learn.
The fiftth, the formmer refers to
o the learninng outcomee directly acchieved by the studentts as the
direct eeffect of leaarning-teach
hing processs (Winatapuutra, 2001: 8). Since cuurriculum is one of
pillars of languagge teaching g-learning, the instrucctional effect must bee in line with
w the
curricullum.
Conversely, nurtuuring effect is the leaarning outccome as th he effect too teaching-learning
circumsstance expeerience by the
t studentss (Winatapu utra, 2001: 8). This leearning outtcome is
obtained without teeacher direcction. to inffluence can be the increease of studdent togetheerness in
completting the taask, studentt bravenesss to express ideas in n English oorally, the student
knowledge on langguage aspects or other llanguage sk kills as the reesult of the situation prromoted.

Thus, nnurturing efffects naturally can bee achieved due to the situation oof teaching-learning
processs applied.
Based oon the descrription abovve, it can be concluded that
t a good instructionaal model consists of
five maain componeents. They area syntax, ssocial system
m, reaction system, suppporting sysstem and
instructtional and nuurturing efffects. Thosee componentts are related to each otther. Thereffore, this
researchh develops the
t instructiional modell of narrativve writing based on thoose componeents.
2. Narrrative Writting
Narrativve writing inn categorizeed as fictionn, which is basedb on im
maginative evevents or sto
ories that
did not actually happpen. The other
o categoory of writin ng is known as known aas nonfiction n, which
would bbe all writinng that is based on reaal facts. Thiis usually consists of nnewspapers,, essays,
reports and other innformative writing.
w Hoowever, som me nonfiction can in facct tell a story y, which
would cclassify it as narrative writing. In the case off nonfiction,, the story m must be a trrue story
with reaal people annd events. Autobiograp
A phies and biiographies are a examplees of nonfiction that
is narrattive writingg, as they telll the real stoory of a perrson's life. Writing
W a seqquence of seentences
arrangeed in a parrticular ordeer and linkked togetheer in certain n ways (Byyrne, 1984:1), and
narrativve is tellingg a story ab bout events or actions (Smalley, in i Brown 22004) an esssay is a
written argument which
w consists of an inntroduction n, a statemen nt of a thessis, support for that
thesis, aand a concluusion.
3. Charracter of Narrative Teext
In addittion to charracters, (Byyrne, 1984: 15-17), eveery story mu ust have a pplot, or eveents that
occur. E
Every story needs a plo ot, or eventss to give the characters something tto react to. Usually,
U
the plott consists off five comp
ponents: thee exposition n, rising actiion, climax,, falling acttion, and
resolutiion.
One of the most im mportant co omponents of a story is the confllict. A confflict is any struggle
betweenn opposing forces. Im magine a stoory where there were no problem ms. The ch
haracters
simply lived their happy
h livess with no trooubles and nothing diffficult to deaal with. Wo
ould that
story innterest you? Conflict is very imporrtant to creaating interest in stories.
Usuallyy, the main conflict
c is between
b the protagonistt and the an
ntagonist, buut that is not always
the casee. The strugggles can exiist between society, witthin a characcter, or evenn with acts of
o nature.
There aare two basic types of conflict:
c inteernal and ex
xternal. Inteernal confliccts are the struggles
s
that occcur within a character, and externaal conflicts are
a the strug ggles of a ch
character. Thhese can
occur bbetween two characterrs, betweenn characters and societty, or betw ween characters and
natural events.
The settting is anothher compon nent of narraative writin
ng. The settiing is the tim
me and the location
in whicch the story takes placee. These faccts set the sccene for thee story and ccan determiine what
kind off conflict occcurs. For exxample, if a story is seet in the 180
00s, can thee protagonisst have a
conflictt that involvves losing his
h cell phonne? The settting can also be importtant to plot twists if
the readder makes assumptions
a s about the time or plaaces that turrn out to bee false. Oveerall, the
setting hhas an impoortant impacct on every story.

One lasst componennt of narrative writing is point off view. Poin nt of view iss the perspeective in
which tthe story is told.
t The tw
wo main poiints of view
w are first-peerson and thhird-person.
4. Evaluating Stud
dent Narra
ative Text
There aare at least thhree method
ds usually u sed to scoree writing: ho
olistic methood, analyticc method
and primmary trait scoring
s meth
hod (Brownn, 2004: 141-146). Anaalytic methood is consid dered an
expert tthe best metthod (Brown n, 2001: 2433) for some reason. Anaalytic methood is consid dered the
best meethod for som me reason (Brown,
( 20001: 232).
Firstly, analytic method
m assessses all aspeects of writting thoughh the score wweight is different.
d
They arre contents, organizatioon, vocabulaaries, languaage use and mechanic (D (Dean Brow wn, 1984:
61-63; JJacob, et al., 1981 in Brrown, 2004 : 246). In adddition, Bro
own (2001: 3356-358) sccores the
writing based on thet content, organizatiion, discourrse, syntax,, vocabulari ries, and meechanics
while MMoreover, Brown
B and Bailey (19884: 39-41 cited
c in Bro
own2 004:2244-245) em mphasize
the aspects of orgganization, body
b and cconclusion, content, grrammar, meechanics, sttyle and
expresssion quality.. Secondly, it gives an eeffective feedback for students and
nd teachers. Thirdly,
it is moore objective than the other
o two mmethods. Th herefore, in this researcch, analytic method
was useed to assess students wrriting qualitty.
The asppects of narrrative text too score shouuld considerr the characteristic of nnarrative tex xt. Based
on this iidea, the asppects of narrrative text tto score are:: the content of story, oorganization
n/generic
structurre, the deveelopment of story, lannguage use,, vocabularries: verbs and pronou uns, and
mechannics: spelling, punctuatiion marks aand neatnesss.
C. Reseearch Meth
hodology
The objjective of thhis research
h is to deveelop instrucctional mod

g for the
Elemenntary Educaation Prograam of Educcation Facullty in State Universityy of Makasssar .The
researchh was condducted throu ugh Researcch and Deveelopment (R R&D) methhod. It is a research
r
methodd used to devvelop and vaalidate educcational prod
ducts (Borg and Gall, 1 983: 772; Sugiyono,
S
2006: 333).
There wwas Elementtary Education Program a the samples of targett clients taken using
m involved as

mpling, the time needeed to compllete the reseearch was vvery purposse and it
spent onne year.
There w were two tyypes of data collected:: quantitativ ve and qualitative dataa. These daata were
validateed through triangulatio
t on techniquee, i.e., triangulation of data sourcee. The reliaability of
the quesstionnaires was
w analyzeed using Alppha Cronba ach statisticaal formula (D Djaali and Muljono,
M
2004: 778-79) indiccated that thhe instrumennts used weere reliable since the reeliability coefficient
was moore than 0.700 (Fraenkle and Wallenn, 1990: 136 6). The reliaability of thee writing sco

3. The R
Result Insttructional Model
M Deveelopment of
o Narrative Writing
As desccried earlierr, this reseaarch was aiimed at dev
veloping instructional model of narrative
n
writing for the studdents of Eleementary Edducation. Based
B on thee result of ppreliminary study of
this reseearch, the researcher
r could develoop an instru
uctional mod del of narraative writing
g for the
clients pproposed. This
T instructtional modeel is called narrative
n wrriting Modeel.
a. Instrructional Writing
W Model
1)The m main instrucctional effecct of writinng Model deeveloped is proposed tto achieve the basic
competence of wriiting as it iss stated in tthe curricullum of English for Eleementary Ed ducation
Program m studentss, i.e., the sttudents are able to produce narrative texts thhrough the stages
s of
rhetoriccal developmment using acceptable English. 2))The nurturring effects are to prom mote: (a)
the stuudent coopeeration in completing
c writing taasks, (b) reesponsibilitty improvemment in
completting the wriiting tasks, (c)
( students braveness in i expressin
ng ideas usinng oral Engllish, and
(d) the iintegration of students language skkill through
h the teachin
ng-learning of narrativee text.
b. Synttax of Writiing Model
The synntax of narraative writin
ng is designeed on the baasis of the principles
p beelow:
1) The teaching-leearning pro ocess of narrrative writing is integ
grated to otther language skill:
readingg, listening, speaking an
nd languagee componen nts.
2) The teaching-leearning pro
ocess of naarrative wriiting implem
