Abstract

Although there have been many studies that have analyzed gender differences, only a few studies have compared the differences between male and female in structuring personal experiences according to the use of the generic structure and language features, especially in spoken mode. This research was aimed to (1) analyze the similarities and differences between male and female students in structuring spoken personal experiences based on generic structure and (2) analyze the similarities and differences between male and female students in structuring spoken personal experiences based on language features. In this research, the students asked to tell the personal experiences in two topics, namely; the most horrible experience and the most enjoyable experience. This research used a descriptive method. The finding of this research showed that in the use of the generic structure, both students tended to be complete on complicating action element, and were very lacking in completeness of abstract element from the male students and on evaluation element from the female students while structuring the most horrible experience. While, in structuring the most enjoyable experience both students also tended to be complete on complicating action element and were very lacking in completeness of evaluation element. In the use of language features, the male students were better in using the proper tenses in telling the most horrible experience, while the female students were better in using proper tenses in telling the most enjoyable experience. The male students were more expressive in showing their feeling while structuring the most horrible experience, while the female students were more expressive in structuring the most enjoyable experience. After that, the male students were more varieties in using the vocabulary in structuring the most enjoyable experience, and the female students were in the most horrible experience
