A. Definition of Procedure Text

There are three definitions of procedure text:

 Texts that explain how something works or

how to use instruction/operation manuals e.g.
how to use the video, the computer, the tape
recorder, the photocopier, the fax
 Texts that instruct how to do a particular
activity e.g. recipes, rules for games, science
experiments, road safety rules.
 Texts that deal with human behavior, e.g. how
to live happily, how to succeed

In conclusion, procedure text is a text that explain
or tells us about how to do something that contains
explanation about how something should be done in
sequenced of steps.

B. Social Function of Procedure Text

 The purpose of a Procedure Text is to tell the
reader how to do or make something
 The information is presented in a logical
sequence of events, which is broken up into
small sequenced steps
