The population of this research was the second-year students at SMA Negeri 9 Pekanbaru and one class at the second grade was chosen as the sample by using clustering-random-sampling.

The results of this research revealed that students faced several difficulties to understand analytical exposition texts based on 8 indicators, namely finding the main idea, finding factual information, finding references and inferences, finding vocabulary, identifying the social function, identifying the generic structure, and identifying language features of the analytical exposition text. Moreover, it was found that students had difficulties in identifying the social function (56%) which was categorized as high, in identifying the generic structure (54%) which was categorized as medium, and in the language features of the text (54%) which was categorized as medium.
