The students are still lack of studying the literary of short story, instead they tend to read the popular short stories. The method used in this research is descriptive method. The results of this study are as follows. First, to obtain the clear illustrationwhether the students are able to write literature short stories or popular short stories. Second, to position their short stories in the development of Indonesian short stories, especially among students. Keywords: analysis, writing short story, literary short stories, popular short stories INTRODUCTION Language skills include four aspects. First, the aspect of listening skill, second, aspects of speaking skill, third, reading skill, and the fourth is writing skills. The four language skills are related to each other. The four language skills not only support within the scope of the language but also in the scope of life (Septiaji, 2017). Ideally, all these skills must be mastered by every student. Of the four language skills, there is the difficult skill, namely writing skills, more specifically is short story writing skills as it is also mention in Halim, Hartati, & Lestari (2019). Short story writing skills include two elements, namely intrinsic elements and extrinsic elements. Intrinsic elements are elements that build literary works from inner-self (Sastrawacana, 2018). The intrinsic elements consist of themes, time and place settings, atmosphere, plot, characterization, point of view, moral values, and https://jurnal.unigal.ac.id/index.php/jall/index https://jurnal.unigal.ac.id/index.php/jall/index 114 JALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literacy), ISSN 2598-8530, September, Vol. 4 No. 2, 2020 message. Themes are the main concept, ideas, or main thought that become the basis of story. Characterizations are imaginary individuals who experience events in a story. Plot is the series of events in a literature work to achieve certain effects. Setting is all information about place, time and atmosphere. Characterization is the techniques of the author of how to perform the character of the character in the story. Viewpoint is the way of the author of how to perform stories. The speech is the message that the author wants to convey to the reader (Qipper Blog, 2018). In addition, extrinsic elements are elements that build literary work derive from the outside of the author (Sastrawacana, 2018). Extrinsic elements are as follows 1) the background of a creation refersto when the literary work is created; 2) social condition refers tothe social condition either in the economic, social, cultural, or politic, at the time the literary works are created. In other words, the factors such as the biography of the author, religion, and the philosophy adopted by the author, history, socio-economic conditions of the community that underlie the creation of literary works (Quipper Blog, 2018). In the study of literature, we know two kinds of literatures. First, serious literature (interpretative literature). This kind of literature needs the readers to interpret its work. Second, entertainmentliterary or escape litetature (Admin, 2018). Serious literature work demands the reader to interpret the literarywork in a deep contemplation, while entertainment literature works is to escape boredomfrom the daily routinethat is difficult to resolve. Becauseof that, suchliteratury works are called also popular literature orpopliterature. The differences between popular and serious literaturesare as follows: 1) popular literature is not too intense in revealing the essence of life while serious literature much emphasizes the nature of life in depth; 2) the content of popular literature tends to be mild, so that its content is easier to read, while serious literature is more weight, so it requires a higher concentration of reading power; 3) popular literature tends to be more devoted to the taste of its reader, while serious literature does not have many readers; 4) popular satra provides entertainment directly from its content, while serious literature pursuits of aesthetic effects; 5) popular literature is more stereotype and does not prioritize elements of renewal, 115 JALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literacy), ISSN 2598-8530, September, Vol. 4 No. 2, 2020 while serious literature is not so stereotype that there are many renewal elements (Rokhmansyah, 2011). In the Indonesian Language Curriculum of Faculty of Teacher Training and Education,Galuh University, it has been explained that Writing Skill is taught in the fifth semester in two credits. One of these skills is learn to write short story. Theoretically and practically, literary writing learning has been taught to the students. In practice, the main problem of this research is to know how students are able to write short stories. Is the literary work written by the students classified into popular short story or short story? Among the students, to which level is the short story written by the students of Indonesian Education Study Programof FKIP Galuh University included? This research is conducted to find out the absorption of students in the ability to write short storyand its implication in developing short story writing skill in daily life. METHOD This research is a qualitative research using descriptive method. This descriptive research produces the descriptive data in the form of short stories written by the students. This method is accomplished by using deep understanding and empirically studied. The possibility of the short stories studied is classified into two groups. First, popular short stories group, second, literary short stories group. Popular short stories only stimulate the reader to read but not to interpret (Darma, 2019: 6). Second, the literary short stories group (short stories that require deep thought). As Darma reveals that serious literature offers deep reflection or contemplation (Darma, 2019: 7).

CONCLUSION At the end of this part, writer wants to convey some conclusions. First, the ability of students to write short stories is generallystill at a basic level. In terms of form, there are still some errors, especially in the use of EYD (Official Indonesian Spelling System). For the author (the students), in the case of writing short stories, they do not make any mistakes in accordance with the terms of EYD usage. Second, in terms of content (theme), the students can develop their writing into the traditional themes based on their experiences, except for the two students who have been able to write non-raditional themes. Third, in terms of comparing the short story writing development, the students of outside Galuh University need a special training especially in the basic group. In general, the training of short story writing in terms of improving knowledge should be continued outside of the meeting hours (extracurricular). For example,improving and comprehending the philosophy, 131 JALL (Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literacy), ISSN 2598-8530, September, Vol. 4 No. 2, 2020 psychology, social, economics, history, politics and religion. Thus, the discussion of problems in the short story is not only a matter of youth love, but more in-depth to the non-traditional theme (serious satra or true satra). It was stated by Budi Darma that the difficulty to write mainly stemmed from the lack of a person's ability to think critically. Perception of obscurity is a source of weakness for someone to find problems that can be written (Darma, 2007: 4). REFERENCES Admin. (2018). https://ceentina.com/sastra-serius-dan-sastra-hiburan.
