Assessing Students’ Writing Skill in Summary Writing Narrative Text

: The purpose of this study was to find out the results of assessing students' writing skill in summary writing narrative text. In this study, researchers used a quantitative method with a quantitative descriptive design. The population in this study were students of class XII MA Cisaat Filial MAN 1 Serang. Researchers used simple random sampling technique. The research instrument is a written test. The researcher used an assessment rubric to determine students' ability to write summaries. In the rubric assessment there are five indicators, namely: content, organization, grammar, mechanics, and vocabulary. The result of this study is that students' summary writing skills are included in the "fair" category, with an average of 66.6. This can be seen from the assessment carried out on the results of writing student summaries. In the assessment of the five indicators, most students also get the "fair" category.


INTRODUCTION
Learning a new language or a foreign language requires regular practice in both languages.English is important in many different fields, including business, health care, and education.Reading, listening, writing and speaking are the four skills that are necessary for learning English.Language acquisition really benefits from writing.given that writing is one of the means of communication that individuals can use to comprehend language utilizing a written symbol system.(Indasari, 2010) states that writing is an important skill that language learners develop because it is useful for academic practice as well as later in one's job.Writing is a crucial part of learning a language.Humans utilize writing as one of their communication tools because they can understand language through a system of written symbols.
The summary condenses the reading's contents in an effort to highlight and take note of some key ideas so that the reader can more easily comprehend the meaning of the text.So that it can be succinctly summarized, the summary is also the outcome of an excerpt from the summary.According to Duke in Pearson in (Kitchakarn, 2012), Summarization is crucial because it forces readers to search through the text for key ideas and information that may be cut out.Students must regularly practice this skill since they need to think critically both while reading and afterward in order to summarize.The readings must be digested and thought upon by the students.Therefore, learning to summarize can help students in a variety of ways, such as by increasing their overall reading comprehension and their writing skills.
For this research, the researcher used narrative text to assess students' summary writing skills.A narrative text is defined as one that uses humor, entertainment, and various strategies to deal with real or imagined experiences.A resolution is eventually found for challenging circumstances, some of which may even result in a crisis or turning point.According to (Wildayati, 2021) Text that tells a story is called narrative.When writing a narrative essay, we can essentially tell a story in both the first and third person, whether we are relating a single story or numerous connected ones.By describing an event in depth, we clarify statements through narrative.
Researchers found several studies that had examine of writing skill and summary writing.

THEORETICAL SUPPORT
According to (Harmer, 2004), when students write a statement as a preliminary to discussion activities, writing is frequently useful as preparation for another activity.This provides people time to consider ideas rather than pressing them to voice an opinion right immediately, which many find unpleasant and challenging, especially at lower levels.(Zemach, 2005) said that, Writing is a crucial component of your university coursework.You may likely be required to write assignments that are one paragraph or many pages long, as well as test and exam responses that could be as short as a few lines or as long as an entire essay.In addition, (Tan, 2022) state that, Effective writing is necessary for effective communication.Writing is a difficult activity that need for methodical training and continual practice in a range of skills, including logical concept organization, sentence and paragraph creation, appropriate tone presentation, attractive formatting, and ethical execution.
According to (Khatayut and Karavi in Cahyono, 2015), Summarizing is a form of paraphrase that uses reported speech to communicate the main points of a text.The finished result must be shorter than the original text and must contain the key ideas from the text.(Hendrian, 2013) argue that, summarizing entails putting the key points of a chosen passage or work into your own words.Even though it is much shorter than the original, a good summary nonetheless effectively communicates the main points of the selection.In addition, they cite a number of objectives for summarizing, including as building context, communicating a general idea, presenting just pertinent facts, setting up quoted material, and giving an overview of a topic.
According to (Frey, 2003), Student writers typically utilize one of two sorts of summaries, and each has a distinct function.The first form is the précis, which is a condensed summary of another text that only includes the essential details.In most cases, it contains six to eight sentences, while a quick reading can just require four.A summary of the evaluation is the second kind.It is succinct and concentrates on the reading's main point, just as the précis.In contrast to the précis, it ends with a declaration of the student writer's viewpoint and insight.The standard book report, which includes a summary of the book as well as suggestions and comments, is the most typical type of evaluation summary.Narrative text is one that tells made-up tales, fairy tales, or embellished versions of genuine events.At the conclusion of a story, there is typically a moral lesson to be learned.According to (Silviana, 2008) text that tells a story is a narrative text, which can take the form of folklore, animal tales, legends, short stories, novels, etc.In narrative texts, there is always some sort of conflict or amusing social issue.So upon reading them, the reader would either feel amused or tense.The story has to deal with a social issue that requires a resolution other than enjoyment.
Typically, narrative texts solely consist of the author's imagination, true events that the author has observed, or even a blend of the two.According to (Fitri, 2016) there are many different kinds of narrative texts.The first is a legend, which is a story about human behavior that both the speaker and the listener understand as occurring within a human story.The second is fable.A fable is a brief allegorical story that conveys a moral lesson, typically through the use of an animal figure that behaves and speaks like a human.The third is fairytale, folkloric figures like fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, and dwarfs are frequently featured in fairy tales, along with magic or enchantments.The last category is science fiction, which extrapolates a social trend from an imagined scientific advancement.

METHOD
This research uses quantitative research, which uses descriptive quantitative as a part of quantitative research.The researcher chooses quantitative descriptive research because the researcher wants to know assessing students writing skill in summary writing narrative text.(Creswell, 2014) argue that, Quantitative research is a method of theory testing that looks at the relationship between study variables.Statistical techniques will be used to analyze this variable, which is typically measured using an instrument.The structure of the study's final written report is predetermined and includes an introduction, a review of theory and literature, methods, and results.
The population in this study was the twelfth grade students of the MA Cisaat Filial MAN 1 Serang.The researcher used simple random sampling techniques.That is, this study took a sample of the population of twelfth graders.Of course, the sample represents each of the twelfth grade 1 and twelfth grade 2 students.In this study, the researcher uses a writing test as the instrument.The writing test in this study was to write a summary of the narrative text which was given to the students before the summary writing test.
For the technique of data analysis, the researcher uses the formula based on C. Tribble in Wildayati's thesis: When expressed as a percentage, the primary data was statistically accurate using the formula below: 1.The mean score student writing test used the formula: 3. Classifying the students score used the following 4 level classification:

RESULT AND DISCUSSION Finding
Five writing indicators were used to determine the students' writing skill levels: content, organization, grammar, mechanics, and vocabulary.The outcomes of the student-written summary text scores are as follows: = 66.6 Based on the table above, it can be seen that only 3 students out of 20 who got excellent scores took part in the research.S11 got a score of 86, which was included in the excellent category, and S14 got a score of 87, which was also included in the excellent category.Furthermore, as many as 5 students got a good category, including S10, who got a score of 80, and S3 who got a score of 78.Then there were 6 students who got a fair category, including S6 who got a score of 69 and S17 who got a score of 64.Then six students were assigned to the very poor category, which is the lowest.Among them, S19 got a score of 55, and S9 got a score of 51.So it can be concluded that the highest score of students' writing skill in writing summaries is 87 and the lowest score is 51.

× 100%
= 30% Based on the percentage table of student scores above, it is explained that students have different score ranges.Of the 20 students who took part in the research, it can be seen that 3 students got an excellent score with a percentage of 15%, then there were 5 students who got a category good score with a percentage of 25%, then there were 6 students who got a fair score with a percentage of 30%, and there are also 6 students who get the lowest category, namely very poor, with a percentage of 30%.Meanwhile, the results of the students' categories on each aspect of writing are as follows: 1 Very poor 5 25% Total 20 100% It is clear from the table above that students have a variety of writing skills.Many students who write the contents of the summary claim that they are too complicated to read and do not fit the topic.Much of what students wrote in writing these summaries was out of content or too wordy.In the table, it can be seen that 2 students, or 10%, got excellent when writing the contents of the summary narrative text, this means the summary is written very clearly per paragraph.6 students, or 30%, received good grades, 7 students, or 35%, received fair grades, and five students, or 25%, received very poor grades.This means that students must be more careful in writing the contents of a summary so that when other people read the summary, it will be easy to understand.Very poor 2 10% Total 20 100% In the table above, it can be seen that the organization of student writing is very diverse.There are 2 students or 10% who get an excellent score, then there are 6 students or 30% who get a good score, then there are 10 students or 50% who get a fair score, and 2 students or 10% get a very poor score.Many students' descriptions of a character or story are incomplete, which leads to the conclusion about writing organization in a summary.Very poor 1 10% Total 20 100% According to the table above, 8 students, or 40%, received a good score in writing a summary of the grammar component, 11 students, or 55%, received a fair score, and 1 student, or 5%, received a variable poor score.Excellent no one got it.In conclusion, students need more knowledge of grammar and lots of practice to improve their writing skills.Grammar is especially important because many students still make mistakes when writing.Based on the table above, it can be seen that, 3 students or 15%, got an excellent score, then 7 students or 35%, got a good score, and 10 students or 50%, got a fair score, while there were no students who got a very poor score.To summarize, many students' writing is still inappropriate for organizations writing summaries.such as writing large numbers at the beginning of sentences and writing wrong words.Very poor 1 5% Total 20 100% Based on the table above, for the vocabulary category, there are 9 students or 45%, getting a good score, 10 students or 50%, getting a fair score, and 1 student or 5%, getting a very poor score.The conclusion is that many students misspell words when writing them, and students must re-learn a lot to increase their vocabulary and write summaries.Not only for writing summaries, having a large vocabulary can also be useful for speaking, reading, and listening.

Vocabulary
Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that students still need a lot of practice writing summaries.Many students are still confused about how to make correct sentences and what words can be used in sentences.In this case, teachers in schools must help students practice by increasing their vocabulary and improve their grammar.

Discussion
The researcher used assessment criteria to rate the students' summarizing abilities.The indicators of the rubric are vocabulary, grammar, mechanics, organization, and content.First, the researcher corrected the first indicator, namely content.In this content, students write a summary of the contents of narrative text that was previously presented to students.In this content, students must summarize in their own language but still relate to the topic, so that readers are not confused when reading the results of student summaries.In this study, the researchers got students in the "fair" category.This means that students must be more observant when writing, because sometimes there are writings that are not in accordance with the topic of narrative text.
Secondly, organization is a factor that is evaluated.Students must use proper conjunctions, write in a logical sequence from sentences to paragraphs, and follow the writing style guidelines for this indicator.In this study, the most student organization indicators fall into the "fair" category.It means that students already have enough skills to write summaries, but they still have to practice and improve so that one day, when rewriting, they can make better sentences than they can now.
Grammar is the next indicator.One of the key signs that someone needs if they wish to write is good grammar.Because a grammatical error can alter the meaning of a sentence, paragraph, or entire document, the researcher discovered that the majority of students received "fair" grades after looking at the students' capacity to write a summary of the movie as a medium.Because most students still make grammar errors, it suggests that students need to practice a lot to improve their grammar.
The mechanic is the next indicator.This mechanical indicator evaluates the proper use of words, the writing of words, the writing of punctuation, and the correct use

of spelling in writing.This indicator is crucial because when we write, we need to use proper spelling so that everyone reading it can comprehend what we mean.Despite the fact that there were no students in the "excellent" category, the researcher discovered that the majority of students fell into the "fair" category.Students must therefore practice writing summaries a lot.In addition to numerous spelling mistakes, student frequently use capital letters incorrectly.Students still need to practice writing more and get better at it.Vocabulary is the final indicator.Since we need to know what words to add to a sentence in order to write, vocabulary is a key signal in writing.You won't be able to write and might even become confused if you don't have enough vocabulary.In this study, researchers found students in the "fair" category.In this category students should start practicing more.Many things can be done by students to increase their vocabulary, for example, such as listening to music, watching movies, reading, etc. even researchers use narrative text so that students can add to the vocabulary of the narrative text.

CONCLUSION
The purpose of this study was to assess students' writing skills by asking them to write a summary of a narrative text.The scoring system in this study uses a rubric scoring system which consists of five indicators, namely: content, organization, grammar, mechanics, and vocabulary.Based on the results of the study, after seeing the results of writing student summaries and assessing them using five indicators, it can be concluded that students' summary writing skills are included in the low category with an average of 66.6.
In addition, in the assessment of the five indicators, namely: content, organization, grammar, mechanics, and vocabulary, it can be seen that the majority of students occupy the "fair" category on the five indicators.The contents of many summaries are incomplete on the topic, only half of the storyline is written.Students do not describe stories in the organization when writing.Then in grammar, a lot of grammar is inaccurate and confusing.In mechanics, many students use incorrect spelling and capitalization of words.For vocabulary, students don't know much vocabulary, so it's confusing when writing a summary.With this, students must start learning and practicing again so that when writing again they are not confused.Teachers also have to help students learn that they can use various methods and media when teaching so that students feel interested in learning something.
Like Yosep Hendrian research about Assessing the Accuracy of College Students' Summary Writing (2013).Second, Wildayanti research about Students Skill in Writing Summary of Narrative Text at The Eleventh Grade of MA DDI Lil Banat Parepare (2021).And third, Orachorn Kitchakarn research about Using Blog to Improve Student' Summary Writing Abilities (2012).Based on the previous studies above, the researcher is interested in assessing students' writing skill in summary writing narrative text.
