The Teaching of Writing Recount Texts by Utilizing Padlet

Abstract

Writing has always been beneficial for those who master it. Albeit its virtues, it is subject to investigation due to issues concerning its derisory tasks, its complexity, and its arid learning activities. Based upon the issues, this study is aimed at portraying how English teachers teach students writing recount texts by integrating Padlet into their classroom. Involving one English teacher and a class of 25 students, this study obtained the data through observation of four class meetings. The data were then analyzed qualitatively to depict thoroughly the teaching practice of the teacher as Padlet was deployed in the classroom. The analysis resulted in findings vis-�-vis the integration of Padlet and the teacher�s ways of integrating Padlet, that the integration of technology is categorized into some levels. The findings to some extent conform to previous studies that the integration of technology has been prevalent among English teaching in general. It is therefore suggested that teachers maintain the integration of technology while keep on fostering the accompanying capability of integrating it.�Keywords: writing; recount texts; Padlet; technology integration; digital teaching media.

The Effect of Using Padlet as a Vocabulary Knowledge Enhancement Application on Saudi EFL Female Learners, and their Attitudes toward its Value in Learning

“…The results obviously showed that Padlet was an effective tool for learning vocabulary within the CLT environment and learner-centered settings, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies in this topic such as Lestari and Kurniawan (2018), Algraini (2014) Saepuloh and Salsabila (2020). In addition other researchers (e.g., Awaludin & Karim, 2017;Haris et al, 2017;Toti, 2018) also described it as an effective tool with a significant role in improving students' language skills as well as contributing to their positive attitudes.…”

“…Due to these benefits, numerous surveys of attitudes toward Padlet have found positive views of the application, and researchers found that utilizing Padlet in the sphere of education increases student interest and motivation (Awaludin & Karim, 2017;Haris, Yunus, & Badusah, 2017;Saepuloh & Salsabila, 2020;Toti, 2018). Lestari and Kurniawan (2018) conducted a study Arab World English Journal www.awej.org ISSN: 2229-9327 363 that aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Padlet with regard to improving students' mastery over writing; the researchers designed their experiment in two phases and each phase included observations of student "planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting."…”

An Analysis of Students’ Writing Ability in Recount Texts

“…It is because in writing recount text, the students should be aware in using the schematic structure of recount text including orientation, record of events, and reorientation (Anderson & Anderson, 1998). Besides, the students should apply the linguistic features of recount in their text, including specific participants, circumstance of time and place, first person, additive conjunction, material process, and past tense (Gerot & Wignell, 1995in Saepulloh, 2020. So those three aspects are the problems of the students in writing recount text.…”
