ABSTRACTWeli Susanti. 2013: Uncertainty in the Teaching and Learning Process of Writing at Junior High School 9 Solok Selatan

Walaupun pendekatan berbasis genre dalam proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah menengah pertama telah dilaksanakan semenjak tahun 2006, bukti terbaru di Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 9 Solok Selatan menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan menulis siswa belum berkembang dengan baik. Teori terbaru yang berhubungan dengan fenomena ini menyarankan bahwa pemahaman guru terhadap hal ini adalah yang paling penting untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis siswa. Berdasarkan isu-isu diatas, perlu untuk meneliti: (1) Bagaimana cara guru bahasa Inggris mengajaran pembelajaran writing? (2) bagaimana guru bahasa Inggris mengevaluasi hasil writing teks deskriptif siswa?.Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan: (1) teknik guru dalam mengajarkan teks descriptif, (2) teknik guru dalam menevaluasi hasil writing teks deskriptif sisiwa. Data dari penelitian ini adalah observasi kegiatan kelas terhadap guru bahasa Inggris yang dilakukan selama beberapa kali pertemuan, interview dengan target dan analisis dokumen. Subjek penelitian ini adalah seorang guru bahasa Inggris di SMPN 9 Solok Selatan.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa tidak semua langkah-langkah dalam pendekatan berbasis genre di implementasikan dengan baik. Dari empat langkah-langkah yang ada, Building Knowledge of the Field (BKOF) tidak diterapkan dengan baik. Guru masih menemui kesulitan dalam mengntrol kosa kata siswa. Dalam mengevaluasi hasil writing siswa, guru bahasa Inggris tidak memakai standar evaluasi. Proses pmbelajaran writing mulai dari penerapan pendekatan berbasis genre hingga pengevaluasian hasil writing siswa tidak jelas.Jadi bisa disimpulkan bahwa ada ketidakjelasan dalam proses pembelajaran writing di SMPN 9 Solok Selatan. Tidak semua langkah-langkah dalam pendekatan berbasis genre diterapkan dengan baik. Disamping itu, penilaian writing yang dilakukan oleh guru bahasa Inggris tidak jelas karena tidak adanya penilaian yang standar yang digunakan oleh guru bahasa Inggris. Karena hasil telah didapatkan, disarankan kepada guru bahasa Inggris untuk menerapakan pendekan ini dengan baik untuk mendapatkan hasil belajar yang lebih baik. Sebagai tambahan, dalam pengevaluasian hasil writing siswa, guru bahasa Inggris sebaiknya menilai hasil writing siswa berdasarkan kriteria standar.ii
