Abstract

The text-based approach has been involved in Indonesian EFL curriculum to support the realization of communicative competence as its educational goal. Among the text types taught in schools, narrative has become central since it is the most commonly read of all genres and serves as the prominent tools for language learning. First of all, a genre analysis using Systemic Functional Linguistic framework was conducted to take a closer look at the language used by the author of a narrative text model and Indonesian EFL learners. The analysis included the language use within interpersonal, ideational, and textual metafunctions. Later on, the results of analysis were identified in order to suggest some pedagogical implications to teachers for teaching narrative texts. The results of this study revealed that the orientation phases of students’ narrative texts were poorly developed as the introduction of the characters and settings were mostly finished in one sentence unlike the phases in experts’ texts which were elaborated vividly. Therefore, the AWAIT strategy was suggested as an alternative to teach narrative writing within genre-based framework. It is used to scaffold students in developing their narrative texts, especially the orientation phases of the texts.
