Abstract

This research aims to analyze students’ recount texts by using mood block analysis. To achieve this purpose, a qualitative case study design was employed in this study. This study was conducted at one university in Indonesia. The data were collected from six students’ recount texts, selected from the category of high, mid, and low achievers. The data were then analyzed inductively. The data analysis includes parsing the texts into clauses, identifying and classifying the mood structure, and interpreting the use of mood structure. The result of this study indicates that the focal students have shown their understanding of positioning Mood elements in making the declarative clauses when telling past experiences. Meanwhile, the students show a lack of understanding of using Finite which functions either to show the polarity or emphasize the degree of information in the text.
