Pelaksanaan Perjanjian Baku dan Akibat Hukumnya bagi Konsumen

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan perjanjian baku dan akibat hukumnya bagi perlindungan konsumen, dikarenakan dalam praktiknya ada perjanjian yang tidak ada kata sepakatnya dan dibuat secara sepihak. Artinya ada pihak-pihak tertentu yang membuat isi perjanjian dan pihak lainnya harus menyepakatinya tanpa persetujuan yang biasanya disebut dengan klausula baku. Hukum perlindungan konsumen di Indonesia tidak mengatur secara eksplisit mengenai penjanjian yang di dalamnya memuat klausula baku, Klausula baku jika diterapkan akan merugikan konsumen sebagai pembeli barang dan jasa serta tidak memenuhi syarat-syarat sahnya suatu perjanjian, sehingga dalam penerapannya perjanjian yang memuat klausula ini secara sepihak akan bertentangan dengan aturan. Hasilnya adalah penerapan perjanjian sepihak ini banyak menimbulkan kerugian bagi konsumen dikarenakan hanya memberikan keuntungan bagi para penjual atau pelaku usaha saja dan tidak memenuhi syarat sahnya suatu perjanjian. Perjanjian yang menggunakan klausula baku dapat menimbulkan sengketa atau kerugian bagi pembeli sebagai konsumen yang hanya menerima saja jika ada sengketa yang timbul dan dalam hukum perjanjian tidak dilaksanakan berdasarkan kesepakatan dan itikad baik antara ke dua belah pihak yaitu penjual dan pembeli

A PROCESS-GENRE BASED APPROACH TO TEACHING WRITING DISCUSSION TEXT TO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti penggunaan pendekatan berbasis Proses-Genre dalam pengajaran menulis teks Diskusi pada siswa kelas dua belas di salah satu SMA di Majalengka, Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk melihat respon siswa terhadap penggunaan pendekatan ini. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif dengan karakteristik studi kasus. Data diperoleh dari beberapa sumber, antara lain observasi kelas, teks tulis siswa, dan wawancara. Data hasil observasi dianalisis berdasarkan penerapan pendekatan berbasis Process-Genre di kelas. Selain itu, teks tulis siswa dari enam siswa dianalisis berdasarkan struktur skematik dan ciri kebahasaan teks Diskusi menggunakan kerangka SFL. Terakhir, data hasil wawancara dianalisis berdasarkan prosedur analisis deskriptif (Sugiyono, 2012). Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan berbasis Proses-Genre bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan kinerja siswa dalam menulis teks Diskusi. Semua siswa memenuhi empat struktur penting teks Diskusi dan menggunakan berbagai fitur kebahasaan dalam tulisan mereka. Selanjutnya, para siswa menunjukkan respon positif terhadap program pengajaran dengan mengatakan bahwa mereka belajar hal-hal baru tentang genre, mengalami proses menulis, dan memperluas pengetahuan mereka tentang tata bahasa.
