Abstract

This study attempts to discover the problems that the students encounter during writing recount text by employing qualitative case study design. The data were obtained from the writing sample of a grade XI student from one of a public high school in Kadipaten, West Java. Applying the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) perspective to analyze the data in order to realize the meaning of the text, this study showed that the student generally make some common mistakes in writing, including grammatical and mechanical errors. From the SFL point of view, it was also found that there is a lack of register in the student’s writing as can be seen from the analysis of three metafunctions. Therefore, to help them solving their writing problems, Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) approach is proposed in this study, under several considerations including the mobility, the continuous access across different context of use, also the potential of autonomous learning for the students provided by this approach. However, there are also some challenges need to be considered before teachers decide to implement this approach in the classroom practice, such as the distraction, the appropriate strategy to be used, and the best way to take this approach from informal to formal context.
