Abstract

Argumentative essay is one kind of essay in which the writer attempts to encourage the readers to agree with his/her opinion explained in the text. This research aims to investigate the argument written by students in writing argumentative essay by using Toulmin model. Based on this model each argument is made up of four components, including claim, data, counterargument, and rebuttal. The data were taken from the argumentative essay written by the fifth semester students in undergraduate program of English Education Department at UMTS Padangsidimpuan. Based on the result of the research, it was revealed that the most common parts of argument that often provided by students in their argumentative essay were claim and data. Average students’ argumentative essay contained at least a claim that was backed by three points of evidence. The result of the data also showed that the quality of argumentation written by students dropped below under level 2 in which students composed the arguments containing a claim and data, but did not provide any rebuttals in their argumentative essay.

用图尔敏模型分析学生议论文的论点

议论文是一种作者试图鼓励读者同意他/她在文章中解释的观点的文章。本研究旨在运用图尔敏模型探讨学生议论文写作中的论点。基于这个模型，每个论点都由四个部分组成，包括主张、数据、反论点和反驳。数据采自巴东西丁普安UMTS英语教育系本科第五学期学生的议论文。根据研究结果显示，学生在议论文中最常见的论点部分是主张和数据。一般学生的议论文至少包含一个由三点证据支持的主张。数据的结果还表明，学生们写的论证的质量下降到2级以下，在2级中，学生们写的论证包含一个主张和数据，但没有在他们的议论文中提供任何反驳。
