Abstract

The objectives of this research were to identify the types of cohesion and to interpret the occurring types of cohesion in terms of compatibility as language inputs in 16 narrative texts presented in the electronic textbook of senior high school grade X entitled “Developing English Competence” issued by the government of the Republic of Indonesia. This study applied qualitative method. The data were in the form of sentences and were collected by note taking. The instrument was the researcher herself. The data were analyzed using the categorization of cohesion, namely grammatical and lexical cohesion proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976) and Bloor and Bloor (1995). Trustworthiness was achieved by employing investigator triangulation. The findings showed that reiteration appeared to be the most frequent types of all subcategories of cohesion. There were 404 instances of reiteration, or 40, 64 % of the total occurrences. Based on the findings, it could be concluded that the narrative texts analyzed in this research contain dense lexical cohesion and thus were compatible as language inputs. In the context of language teaching, the findings suggested that teachers should be able to make use of their knowledge about cohesion in selecting the texts as teaching materials. Teachers were also suggested to be able to adapt texts with low cohesion to facilitate comprehension.
