CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter the writer discuss about Background, Statement of the Problem, Objective
of The Research, Objective of The Research, significance of the Research, Limitation of
The Research, and Definition of term.
1.1 Background of The Research

Language is arbitrary system. It’s mean, language can be meant difference with other
people. The place, culture and behavior are influence from them. There are so many
languages that are used by people all over the world. One of them is English. Nowadays,
English is considered as the most important language. In English there are four skills/ability
that we must capable, because we are students of english department, they are: listening,
reading, speaking and writing. We must able to understand or to have mastery in each other
skil. Basically, the students have mastery all of the skills, but infact, they are not capable all
of the skills. Sometimes, they less in speaking,listening or writing.
Writing is the way of communication using written language. The communication is done
trough written products such as books, letter, short story and the other . written
communication the exchange is not done directly ,. Writing is one of English skills that have
gien an important contribution to human beings. It can be seen from the fact that scientific
books, novel, report, poems, letter, diary.newspaper and magazine are products of writing.
Moreover, writing is a skill-based subject, in addition to listening, speaking and reading,
which must be taken by student of students of junior high school. Writing is also can we
called as activity that explored an ide in our mind or express an idea that we think this is must
be transfer with writing. In activity of writing they are epected to be able compose well-
organized pieces of writing in English as their foreign language.
According to the curriculum of English subject in Junior High School, English students in
grade V111 are given writing lesson including writing recount text which focuses on
constructting sentences fluently, accurately in acceptable English sentences.
Diary is a statement, which is written on a piece of paper or more, it contains feeling
expression, private thing and so on. It can be seen in a personal diary. A diary is used as a
representative of individual. It means that can express the writer interest, feeling expression
and wish.
Unfortunately, almost of the students think that writing is difficult. The reasons are that it
takes a lot of time to think about the topics that they are going to write, they just only have
little knowledge about technique of writing and almost they feel difficult to explore their
idea. The writer used diary as media to express their ideas in written form, because diary can
make them to be more motivated and easier them to express their feeling by writing diary.
They can write about their feeling, experience and wish.
The writing thinks that by writing diary can help the students to explore, express their
ideas, in the written form especially in recount text. Writing English diary is one of the media
in teaching writing recount text. With diary the students can improve their writing ability,
because with diary the students can write their feeling, their idea in their mind. So, they can
exploreall of things with writing diary. In writing areas, exercing writing everyday will help
write English text approppriately. Habit of writing diary and they are all very up to date,
every single day, what they do, fun or things they find funny, interesting, they put it on their
diaries are good to improve students recount text writing. This study is to find out writing
diary can improve the students ability in written recount text.
Thus, i want to study about students writing ability, especially in written recount text of
the Eight Grade Students of SMP 1 MEJOBO who are taught by using writing diary. I hope it
can help the students to express, explore their idea in their mind when the teacher ask to make
some text especially to make writing recount text.
In doing the research, i found some previous researches that can be based of consideration
for my research, for example the skripsi arranged by Asti .......(2009). In her skripsi she

“ writing as an alternative technique .............................” thus, i want to do follow up of the
previous research and i take my research to the Eight grade students of SMP 1 Mejobo in the
academic year 2010/2012.
Based on the reason above, I take the title of this research “ Writing Diary as a Media to
Teach Written Recount Text Ability of the Eight Grade Students of SMP 1 Mejobo in the
academic year 2011/2012.
