Abstract

Although there have been many studies that analyzed gender differences in writing, there are very few studies that compare between male and female in structuring written personal experiences according to the generic stucture and language features. The purpose of this study was to describe gender differences in structuring written personal experiences. The subjects were the students of SMA Negeri 2 Kerincifrom two different genders; they were ten male students and ten female students. This is a descriptive research of which instrument is writing tasks. The tasks were distributed to the students in first grade in academic year 2021/2022. The results of data analysis showed that in terms of generic structure, on the topic of the most horrible experience written by male students, there was a difference of 12.1% compared to female students, and there was no significant difference in generic structure written by male and female students on the topic of the most enjoyable experience. As for language features, it was found that male students used simple past tense more than female students in their most enjoyable experience. As for the most horrible experience, the result was the opposite. Male students used more simple sentences, whereas female students used more compound sentences. Female students had a higher number of sentence lengths than male students in both text topics. In terms of lexical, there was no significant difference in the percentage of the adverb, noun, verb, adjective, and emotional adjective elements produced by male and female students. Female students had a higher percentage of modality than male students in the two topics they wrote about. The vocabulary produced by female students was more diverse than that of male students.
