ORAL NARRATIVE, Tools, ANALYSISAbstract
Discourse analysis tools are important for language teachers as applied linguistics has always taken elements from different fields of study. To analyze a spoken text we have to divide it into its idea units. Identifying-classifying idea units are included, (1) organizational pattern of oral texts; (2) formulaic expressions; (3) use of single adjectives; (4) subordination; (5) intonation; (6) center of interest; and (7) perturbations of oral narrative. Oral narratives are composed of chronological elements such as “abstract, orientation, and resolution”. The writer used transcript of oral text to be analyzed.
