ABSTRACT

Sentence variants are discourse incarnations. Language education must be exploring how the social, cultural, and even societal contexts become a formula that is no longer absurd in discourse learning. This article examines students' perceptions of language variety in the main text types: narration, description, and argumentation. The movement from a social function to a scientific function requires an awareness that the needs of each discourse are different. This study collected data from observation and questionnaires. The steps of identifying, classifying, and interpreting the percentage results on these perceptions were carried out. In the second stage, the researchers conducted a literature review to provide recommendations for efforts that could improve the quality of the learning process and students' understanding of the text. Furthermore, this article shows the language features for each discourse that students need to learn. It is expected that students can apply the social function of discourse and the features of the language used so that the pragmatic aspect in constructing discourse context will be built in their knowledge. We conjecture the understanding of the sentence features of each discourse will be applicable to grow text writing skills.
