 DISCUSSION

Telling Procedure

In this lesson, you will learn about telling procedure. There are four parts discussed in
this narration. They are Definition, Examples, Generic Structures, and Language
Features. Each of them is elaborated as follows:

A. The Definition of Procedure text:

We can classify the definition of procedure texts into three groups based on the
purposes. The three definition of procedure text are:
 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 behaviour, e.g how to live happily, how to succeed.

B. The Examples of Procedure text

According to the definition of procedure text, we will show you three different
examples of procedure text.
1. Procedure text of how to use instruction or operation manuals:
