Text Types
===============================================
General Instructional Objectives:
At the end of this course, the students generally are expected to be able to write
texts based on the genres of writing.
Specific Instructional Objectives:
At the end of this course, the students specifically are expected to:
To know the basic theory of the genres of texts: recount, report, analytical
exposition, news item, anecdote, narration, procedure, description, hortatory
exposition, explanation, discussion, review, and commentary.
To be able to analyze the social function, schematic structure, and significant
grammatical patterns of texts.
To be able to write texts based on the genres.
The Four Stages in the Teaching-Learning Cycle:
Building knowledge of the field:

Step
Step 11
CLASS TEACHER STUDENTS STUDENTS
Cultural context
Shared experience
Control relevant vocabulary
Grammatical patterns
Tasks and Activities:
Use of visualphotographs, filmstrips, videoto build context.

Do activities such as cooking, going for a vacation, interviewing an informant,
listening to guest speakers, etc.
Reconstruct and discuss activities done when back in the classroom.
Design activities in order to share, discuss, and argue about aspects of the
topic.
Set language lesson focused on vocabulary or grammatical patterns.
Study a broad range of written texts related to the topic, such as school
brochures, notes, newsletter, labels, leaflets, and enrolment forms.
English Text Types: Theory and Practice/Jamaludin, S.Pd., M.Pd. 1

Develop reading strategies appropriate to the texts, including predicting,
skimming, scanning, or identifying the logo.
Modeling of Text:

Step 22
CLASS TEACHER
Cultural context
Social function

Linguistic features
Study the model text shown by the teacher or read it yourself or collectively
in the references.
Develop an understanding of the social function and purpose of the text:
Why are such texts written?
By whom are they written and read?
What is the context in which they will be used?
Analyze the schematic structure of the text (distinguishing and labeling

stages within the schematic structure of the genre).
Analyze the grammatical pattern or language features of the text (use of
tense, technical language, specific or generic participants).
Joint Construction of Text:
