One of the factors causing the lack of success in reading comprehension in English in high school is the text used in learning that is set in a foreign culture. This study aims to describe the improvement of students' skills in understanding the contents of reading texts by using a model of text-based teaching materials based on local culture. This research uses classroom action research with implementation steps; (1) initial observations to determine research problems and data collection; (2) formulate research action plans, formulate models of teaching materials (3) development of teaching materials; (4) carry out the action; (5) collaborate with English teachers; (6) draw up a teaching plan; (7) reflection and revision of actions; (8) classroom action; (9) improvement of teaching materials. The subjects of this study were two English teachers and 28 high school students in class XI who were studying English with the topic of Reading Comprehension. The results showed an increase in student involvement in discussions, higher student initiative to ask questions, higher student activity in digging information. Learning outcomes indicated by the level of students' ability to answer questions are also getting higher. Learning becomes more effective and efficient in achieving learning objectives.

Analyzing Grammatical and Lexical Cohesion in A Legendary Short Story Noprival Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Harapan Ibu Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: noprival@gmail.com (corresponding author) Alfian Universitas Islam Negeri Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: alfian@uinjambi.ac.id Robi SomaUniversitas Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: robisoma858@unja.ac.id Abstract:Despite the existence of many studies on cohesion in discourse, little scholarly work reports grammatical and lexical cohesion in a short story. To fill this gap, the present study investigates these two aspects of cohesion in a legendary short story entitled “After Twenty Years.” Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) theoretical framework of cohesion was used to guide the current study. We applied textual analysis as the appropriate approach to find out grammatical and lexical cohesion within the forms of text. The findings in the grammatical cohesions showed that reference had the highest frequency of the total cohesive devices. Also, under grammatical cohesion, conjunctions are found to exist. However, other aspects were not found within this short story, including substitution and ellipsis. On the other hand, repetition was dominantly used lexically among other aspects of lexical cohesion and sequentially followed by repetitions, hyponyms, synonyms, and antonyms. Only one aspect of lexical cohesion, the meronym, was not found.  The overall results of the research indicated that the short story was a coherent discourse because both grammatical and lexical cohesion exist properly.
