Abstract

This study mainly aims at applying Roundtable technique in teaching writing narrative text for the fourth semester students of the English Education Department of IKIP PGRI Semarang in the academic year 2012-2013. This study also aims at finding out the problems faced by the students when the technique is applied in teaching learning process. The design of this study is a qualitative research. Observation and interview were used to collect the data. In analyzing the data, there are three steps done, namely data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusion. The result of the study is that to apply Roundtable technique in teaching narrative text, there are some steps done: 1) the students were grouped into six each of which consisted of 5 to 6 students, 2) the groups were given the same topic, 3) the lecturer gave a paper and a pen to each group, 4) roles were labeled to each student based on the generic structure of narrative text, 5) students in each group wrote narrative text based on the roles got, 6) each group submitted their work, 7) each group evaluated and corrected the other group’s work, and 8) each group reported their group evaluation to the whole class. There were some problems faced by the students when the technique applied: 1) the students seemed to face difficulty when they had to continue their friend’s work, and 2) the students tend to ask their friends in individual work because of their lack of vocabulary mastery, 3) chaos happened in some groups due to different perspective they had toward the story. Instead of the problems faced by the students, the lecturer also faced the difficulties in running this technique: 1) the lecturer got involved too deep in the group management and 2) the lecturer found it difficult in giving guidance to students. Keywords: Roundtable Technique, Teaching Writing, Narrative Text
