YOUR GRAMMAR MASTER/SIFU

Each component is 5 marks but students mostly managed to get 0-2 in organization and communicative achievement components. As Firmansyah (2015) in a research also stated that major writing problems faced by Form 1 students in writing are making coherent paragraphs and elaborating points.Despite all efforts which has been made by teachers to help Form 1 students to improve their elaboration and organization skills, they still continued to scoreless in both this components.

The researcher noticed that form 1 students score extremely poor in the elaboration components because they are unable to generate ideas to elaborate. Due to this, most of the essay answers that are expected to be 120 words would rather be submitted as an empty paper or written less than 100 or 50 or even 10 words . As supported by Neda (2012) that Form 1 students encounter poor elaboration skills in writing because they mainly experience “writers block” (Neda,2012.13).

Next, the Form 1 students low scores in elaboration and failure to elaborate in their writing is connected to their inability to express their ideas in written effectively. The form 1 students in school tend to write around the point by repeating words and phrases as they are incapable of expressing their ideas. Some students even respond to their recount writing vaguely leaving the teachers a hard time to understand what they are trying to express in their writing. In short, a study done by Koo, (2010) also supported that many secondary students either upper or lower secondary mostly faced problems in expressing their ideas in writing. As in even intermediate level form 1 students who are targeted to elaborate well the given points ends up being unable to do so. (Puteh,2010).
