    PROCEDURE

    TEXT
    -Asri Nur Intan-
    WHAT IS PROCEDURE TEXT?

    Procedure text is a type of text that is written to explain how to


    do something. It’s a step-by-step explanation of a process or
    a set of instructions for completing a specific task. Procedure
    text is used in many contexts, such as manuals, recipes,
    scientific experiments, or instructions for assembling
    products.
    PURPOSE OF PROCEDURE
    TEXT

    The purpose of procedure text is to tell the reader how to do


    or make something.
    GENERIC STRUCTURE OF
    PROCEDURE TEXT
    1. GOAL

    The goal is the starting point of a procedure


    text. It sets the stage by providing a clear
    statement of what the reader is trying to
    achieve by following the instructions. It gives
    context and purpose, helping the reader to
    understand why they are undertaking the task.
    2. MATERIALS OR INGREDIENTS

    This section provides a comprehensive list of everything needed to


    carry out the task. It ensures that the reader has everything at hand
    before starting.

    Materials: This could include tools, equipment, or other supplies. For


    example, if you’re assembling a piece of furniture, this section would list
    all the required parts and tools like screws, nails, a hammer, etc.
    Ingredients: In a cooking context, this refers to all the food items and
    quantities needed to prepare a dish. It’s like a shopping list for your
    recipe, ensuring you have everything you need to start cooking.
    3. STEPS

    The Steps are the heart of a procedure text. This section provides a
    detailed, step-by-step guide on how to achieve the aim or goal. It
    breaks down the task into manageable parts, often in a chronological
    or logical order.
    Each step is usually written in a clear and concise manner, using
    imperative language (commands). It’s vital that these steps are easy
    to understand and follow, as any ambiguity or complexity can lead to
    confusion or mistakes.
    LANGUAGE FEATURES OF
    PROCEDURE TEXT
    1. SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

    The simple present tense in a procedure text makes the


    action immediate and relevant. It’s as if the procedure is
    happening right now, in real time, guiding the reader as they
    perform the task.

    Example:
    Pour the water into the glass
    Mix the ingredients until well combined
    2. IMPERATIVE SENTENCES

    Imperative sentences are command forms that tell someone to


    do something. They are direct and to the point, which is
    essential in instructions.

    Example:
    Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let it rest for
    30 minutes
    Apply the paint evenly across the canvas, using broad
    strokes for a textured effect
    3. CONNECTIVES
    Connectives (or conjunctions) are words or phrases that link
    different parts of a text. They can show the order of steps, the
    relationship between different parts, or add additional information.
    Examples of connectives in procedure texts include words like then,
    next, after that, before, or finally. These words help guide the reader
    through the process in a logical and coherent way.

    Example:
    First, wash the rice; then, soak it for 20 minutes
    Measure the ingredients carefully. After that, mix them in a bowl
    4. ADVERBS
    Adverbs can provide additional detail about how an action is to be
    performed, adding precision and clarity to the instructions. They can
    describe how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.

    Example:
    Slowly add water to the flour, stirring constantly
    Thoroughly wash the vegetables to remove any dirt or pesticides

    The adverbs ‘slowly’ and ‘thoroughly’ in these examples add nuance


    to the action, guiding the reader on how exactly to perform the task.
