Page 48 - BUKU SYNOPSIS

Content, language use, and mechanics are all components of writing

an essay (Harmer, 2003, 2004; Jacobs et al., 1981; Oshima & Hogue, 2007;

Weigle, 2002). To begin, content refers to the writer's idea about the given

issue, which is produced from personal experiences, facts, or even real-life

instances. The writer must structure the ideas in accordance with the

intended text type. Thus, organization refers to the writer's capacity to

organize their thoughts in coherent and cohesive ways using various

patterns or forms of words.

Following that, language use refers to the writer's capacity to build

sentences based on the target language's subject-verb agreement.

Grammatical sentence forms assist the reader in comprehending the text's

substance. At the same time, the usage of different language sentences and

word choices demonstrates the writer's high level of expertise. Because he

or she can utilize words for appropriate registers and contexts, word choices

demonstrate the writer's expertise in crafting a text as a means of

communication.

Spelling is equally important in this part of producing relevant text.

Because the meaning of a word changes when it is misspelled, misspelling

can cause misunderstanding. Finally, mechanics, which include

punctuation and capitalization, are critical in crafting a comprehensive

document. Although mechanics are minor components of writing, they

improve the flow of words.
