Abstract

The purpose of this research was to describe the third g r a d e students’ ability in identifying conjunction in analytical exposition text at the SMAN 1 Ranah Batahan Silaping. The descriptive design as the quantitative method was used of this research. The population of this research was the twelfth-grade students at the SMAN 1 Ranah Batahan Silaping. The researcher used the cluster random sampling technique to select the sample, and the number of samples are 35 students. The instrument for collecting the data was a grammar test in the form of recognition in analytical exposition text. To make the test reliable the researcher used the split-half technique and it was shown that the test was high reliable (0.79). It means that the test was reliable. Then, the test was valid in terms of content because it had covered all materials that students had learnt (Syllabus covering). In general, the result of this research showed that the twelfth grade students had poor ability in identifying conjunction in analytical exposition text. It was proved that 1 (2,856%) student had very good ability, 1 (2.856%) students had good ability, 1 (2.856%) students had moderate ability, and 32 (91.43%) students had poor ability in identifying conjunction in analytical exposition text. Specifi cally, 1(2.856%) students had very good ability, 1 (2.856%) student had good ability, 1 (2.856%) students had moderate ability, and 32 (91.43%) students had poor ability in identifying the coordinating form. While in identifying con junction in the form of subordinating, 0 (0%) students had very good ability, 4 (11.43%) student had good ability, 5 (14.29%) students had moderate ability, and 26 (74.29%) students had poor ability. Next the last the twelfth grade students’ ability in identifying the correlative conjunction form was that, 1 (2.856%) stu dents had very good ability, 1 (2.856%) student had good ability, 0 (0%) students had moderate ability, and 33 (94.29%) had poor ability. By having known that the students had poor ability in identifying conjunction, the researcher gave suggestions to teacher, students, and the future researchers. To the teacher The students demonstrated poor ability in identifying conjunctions, including coordinating, subordinating, and correlative conjunctions. It is recommended that teachers provide more in-depth explanations on how to identify these conjunctions. For example, teachers could use topics such as the benefits of using smartphones, the advantages of laptops, the role of virtual reality in education, etc. This will help students understand the use of conjunctions in analytical exposition texts more effectively. To the students Students are encouraged to pay closer attention to the teacher's explanations about conjunctions iii in analytical exposition texts. They should practice writing and reading analytical exposition texts using conjunctions correctly. Additionally, students need to engage in more exercises related to identifying type conjunction in analytical ex position text. To the researchers, The researcher encourages future studies to further investigate related topics, particularly focusing on students' abilities to identify conjunctions in analytical exposition texts across various contexts.
