		abstract={Nominal group is a group of words which has a noun (a word which names a person, place or thing) as its head word and includes all additional information related to that noun. There are some differences between Jakarta Post and Asian EFL Journal. Based on the genre, Jakarta Post includes news item and Asian EFL journal includes report. Based on the publisher, Jakarta Post newspaper is published by a company (can be said non academic) and Asian EFL journal is research journal written by professional researcher and published in the academic area. 
The purposes of this research are (i) to find out the nominal group patterns used in the headline news of Jakarta Post, (ii) to find out the nominal group patterns used in the abstracts of Asian EFL Journal.
This is descriptive qualitative research. The data of this research are written data which contains nominal group patterns found in the headline news article of Jakarta Post published on April 2012 and the abstracts of Asian EFL Journal published on February 2012. 
The result of the research shows that: (i) there are 25 nominal group patterns found in the headline news of Jakarta Post, they are: DT (22.27%), PDT (0,47%), NT (1.89%), ET (1.42%), CT (11.89%), TQ (11.37%), DET (1.89%), DNT (2.37%), DCT (12.32%), NET (0.47%), DTQ (17.06%), PDTQ (0.49%), NTQ (2.37%), ETQ (0.47%), CTQ (4.27%), DNCT (0.95%), DECT (0.47%), DNTQ (095%), DETQ (0.47%), DCTQ (3.32%), NCTQ (0.47%), DNPDCT (0.47%), PDETQ (0.95%), DENCT (0.47%), and DECTQ (0.47%). (ii) There are 16 nominal group patterns found in the abstracts of Asian EFL Journal, they are: DT (26.80%), PDT (1.03%), NT (4.12%), CT (3.09%), TQ (11.34%), DET (2.06%), DCT (12.37%), NCT (1.03%, DTQ (19.59%), PDTQ (1.03%), NTQ (2.06%), CTQ (2.06%), DETQ (1.03%), DCTQ (10.31%), NCTQ (2.06%), and NPDT (1.03%). 
Finally, the writer suggests that nominal group is one of teaching materials in learning language. So, Teachers can use news media (newspaper) and also research journal as one of teaching materials. For the students of English Education Department, they can study the nominal group structure trough mass media and the other sources, especially newspaper and also research Journal. For the further researchers, the next research will be more innovative if the further researchers not only use written text as the materials of analysis but also they can use the other materials, like spoken text.
