TEXT-BASED APPROACH
 Text: unit of meanings, structured, having its specific langauage features.

 Text: interpersonal, transactional, functional, and genre.
 Text can be formed as spoken or written.
 Teaching text has a goal: make the students be able to produce text.
 The goal has two common instructions:
1. Product-based instruction, including: competencies, texts.
2. Process-based instruction, including: content-based, task, project, problem-solving,
inquiry-based
 The syntax of text-based approach:
1) Building the Context
In this stage, students:
a) are introduced to the social context of an authentic model of the text-type being
studied
b) explore feature of the general cultural context in which the text type is used and the
social purposes the text-type achieves
c) explore the immediate context of situation by investigating the register of a model
text which has been selected on the basic of the course objective and learner need.
2) Modelling and Deconstructing the Text
In this stage, students:
a) investigate the structural pattern and language feature of the model
b) compare the model with other examples of the text-type
3) Joint Construction of the Text
In this stage:
a) students begin to contribute to the construction of whole examples of the text-type
b) the teacher gradually reduces the contribution to text construction, as the students
move closer to being able to control the text-type independently.
4) Independent Construction of the Text
In this stage, students work independently with the text and students’ performances are
used for achievement assessment
 The relation between text-based approach and scientific approach:

Teaching process with Text Based Apporach
If we dig more deeper we will find so many kind of text actually, such as descriptive text,
narrative text, spoof text, recount text, etc. But we will focuss in discussing report text.
report text is a type of text that announce the result of an investigation or announce
something. The information given in a report text is very general information. Social
function of report text is to present information about something generally to the reader.
Report text also has generic stucture consist of General Classification and description.
Building the context
1. Teacher choose authentic materials (Report Text) from media such as newspaper,
magazine, etc and read it in front of the class.
2. Teacher made some question according to the information in the text.
3. Teacher ask about information, generic stucture, and language features of the text
4. With picture, teacher describe and explain the information about report text.
5. Teacher give another example of report text and student need to find the generic
structure and also language features.
Modelling and Deconstructing the Text
1. Teacher prepares some report text and read it or give it to groups of student.
2. Teacher ask students to focus and find the generic structure and language features
of the text and fill it in the table.
3. Teacher choose one group to come forward and read their project in front of the
class, meanwhile the other groups pay attention and give feedback or comment.
4. Teacher ask one group to stands and read the whole text with correct intonation,
gesture, and mimic.
5. Teacher give explanation if students ask a question.
Joint Construction of the Text
1. Students are divided into several groups consist of four and five students and they
need to work together in their group.
2. Teacher give a jumble sentence to groups of student. Each group will receive different
text.
3. Teacher ask the groups to rearrange the jumble sentence into a complete report text.
4. Teacher ask students to make a summary about their report text.
5. Teacher ask student to make some question complete with its answer according to the
their report text.
6. Teacher ask one group to come forward and explain their group discussion about
summary of their report text, and the other group pay attention and give feedback or
comment.
7. The group stands in front of the class will ask a question to another groups.
Independent Construction of the Text
1. Teacher give an information or sign how to make a good report text.

2. Teacher ask students to make a report text individually.
3. Teacher and students discussing students draft and their progress.
4. Teacher ask students to revise their text if there any errors.
