Abstract

The English language is an essential skill for students, as it plays a crucial role in academic achievement and global communication. Writing, one of the core skills in English learning, poses significant challenges for students, particularly in composing structured texts. Procedure texts, introduced in the second semester of eleventh grade, are considered one of the simplest types of text but are still challenging for many students. This study examines the ability of class XI 1 students at SMA Negeri 4 Pasuruan to apply the generic structure and language features in writing procedure texts. Employing a qualitative content analysis method, this study reveals that most students succeeded in structuring their texts but faced difficulties in consistently applying language features. These findings underline the importance of integrating targeted teaching strategies to improve students' competence in writing procedure texts.
