Abstract


Aliran tematik adalah berkenaan cara idea dilanjutkan ayat demi ayat dalam teks. Dengan itu, aliran tematik merupakan unsur penting dalam penghasilan sesebuah penulisan. Kajian penulisan tertumpu kepada kajian linguistik, pembelajaran dan pengajaran dan eksperimental benar. Namun, kajian linguistik yang memfokuskan aliran tematik hanya mengkaji pembinaan aliran tematik yang terkandung dalam teks tanpa melibatkan pembolehubah kategori pelajar, manakala kajian penghasilan teks sebagai bahasa asing selain bahasa Inggeris amat terhad dan tidak membincangkan hubungan antara pencapaian bahasa dengan pemanfaatan jenis aliran tematik. Maka, makalah ini membahaskan penguasaan ciri aliran tematik penulisan naratif yang dihasilkan oleh pelajar tahap lanjutan bahasa Sepanyol bukan natif berdasarkan pembolehubah kategori pelajar dan mengenal pasti hubungannya dengan pencapaian bahasa. Kajian ini menganalisis 30 teks naratif yang melibatkan 106 buah perenggan. Pergerakan aliran tematik dalam setiap perenggan dianalisis berpandukan skema aliran tematik, Rema Regresi, Rema Ulangan, Tema Rencam, Box Development dan Pair to Single Development. Hasil kajian memaparkan, ketiga-tiga kategori pelajar mewacanakan penulisan secara dominan menerusi aliran Tema Rencam tanpa peka kepada genre penulisan. Pembolehubah kategori pelajar secara hakikatnya tidak memainkan peranan dan tidak mempengaruhi pembinaan aliran tematik mereka. Tiada hubungan yang signifikan antara aliran tematik dengan pencapaian bahasa diperolehi. Hasil penemuan ini membuktikan aliran tematik berupaya dijadikan sebagai satu teknik yang efektif kepada guru dan pelajar untuk membentuk dan membina sebuah penulisan yang berkesinambungan.

ABSTRACT

 

Thematic progression refers to how an idea is expanded from one sentence to another in a text. Therefore, thematic progression is an important element in writing production. Studies on writing have mostly focused on the linguistic, learning and teaching, and experimental study. However, studies on thematic linguistic dimension have only discussed the thematic progression surrounding a text without taking into account other variables such as student category, while studies on text production as a foreign language other than English are limited and do not explore the relationship between the language proficiency with the use of thematic progression. Therefore, this study aims to explain the mastery of thematic progression in narrative texts produced by non-native advanced students of Spanish based on students’ category and to identify their relationship with language achievement. This study analyses 30 narrative texts which involves 106 paragraphs. The movement of ideas in each paragraph is analysed based on the thematic progression scheme outline, Rheme Regression, Rheme Iteration, Mix Theme, Box Development and Pair to Single Development. The findings reveal that all categories of students utilize Mix Theme dominantly without paying attention to the genre of writing. Student category, in fact do not play a role nor influence the construction of their thematic progression. No significant correlation was found between thematic progressions with the language achievement. These findings prove that the thematic progression is capable as an effective technique to teachers and students to form and develop a coherent writing.
