AbstractThe purpose of this research is to obtain empirical data about the effects of students’ vocabulary and grammar mastery towards English recount writing skill. There are the effects of students’ vocabulary (X1) and grammar mastery(X2) towards students’ English recount writing skill (Y). That is proved by the result Fobservedis 679.878 with significance probability level Sig 0.000. The probability value is (0.000) less than 0.05. It means the regression model could be used to predict the students’ skill in writing. The result of data analysis, the multiple regression in which the multiple correlation coefficient, is ( R ) is 0.987 or (ryx1x2 = 0.987). It means it gives strong effects among them. The simultaneous contribution of perception on the teacher’s competence and grammar mastery towards students’ writing skill is R2 x 100% or 0.987 2 x 100% = 97.4 % and the rest 2.6 % determined by the other factors. In conclusion H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted significantly. There is no effect of students’ vocabulary (X1) toward students’ English recount writing skill (Y). It can be proved tobserved 1.574 meanwhile ttable = 1.69. Because of the score of Sig> 0.05 (0.124>0.05) and tobserved<ttable(1.57 <1.69). The score of Sig = 0.124 means H0 is accepted it means that there is no significant effect of student’s vocabulary toward students’ English recount writing skill. From the test of correlation and regression it can be concluded that there is no effect of students’ vocabulary towards students’ English recount writing skill. There is an effect between grammar mastery (X2) toward students’ writing skill (Y). It can be proved by tobserved 14.718 meanwhile ttable = 1.69. Because of the score of Sig< 0.05 (0.000<0.05) and tobserved>ttable(14.718 > 1.69) determination of regression significance criteria is the score of Sig = 0.000 means H0 is rejected. It means that there is a significant effect of grammar mastery towards students’ English recount writing skill.Keywords: Recount Text, Grammar Mastery, Regression Significance, Vocabulary, Writing Skill,

When David was 12 years old it became apparent that he was having significant difficulty writing. He struggled on, but his writing did not improve and he was regularly having his work returned by teachers because it was illegible. If he tried to write painstakingly slowly he could produce work that was barely legible, but there was not enough time to do this during examinations. David was very intelligent, an avid reader, an excellent debater, and good at sports. He was well coordinated in every manual task except writing, and was physically healthy. No cause for his difficulty could be found. At high school and university, he was given permission to type his examination papers and obtained excellent results. He is now a professor of law. He still cannot write legibly, but has had many papers and a number of books published. He uses a combination of dictation and typing instead of writing. This chapter deals with the mechanics of handwriting, that is, the formation of letters and their arrangement on the page. In contrast with disorders of reading and spelling, such difficulties have received little attention. This is partly because writing is a skill that cannot be easily evaluated by standardized tests, and partly because significant impairment of writing skill seems to be relatively uncommon. Unfortunately, this lack of knowledge means that children with specific writing difficulty are often misunderstood and maligned. Assessment of writing should form part of a comprehensive assessment, as described in Chapter 2. It is impossible to score a sample of writing in a precise way. In practice, samples of writing are usually evaluated by an experienced tester. Three samples of writing are obtained: a passage of free composition on a particular topic, a piece of dictation, and a copy of some printed material. In the case of the free composition, the child is usually given a limited amount of time, such as five minutes. In the other two tests, he is timed to see how long he takes.

For the developement of bio-PIXE, two problems remain to be solved; one in accelerator availability and the other in data analysis. To improve the former, a method of applying baby cyclotrons to PIXE has been developed. To solve the latter, the computer program SAPIX for x-ray spectrum analysis ,which runs on ordinary personal computers and is fairly easy to operate has been developed. Examples of spectral fitting by the SAPIX and a description of the program are given. Further, the two-detector measuring system which we have employed for the simultaneous determination of all elements is reported.
