Paraphrasing activity allows the students to interpret what they have understoodfrom the text in reading activity. This study investigates the correlation of thestudents’ reading comprehension and their paraphrasing ability in narrative text.There are two hypotheses in this research; null hypothesis (Ho) and the alternativehypothesis (Ha). The null hypothesis says “There is no correlation between students’reading comprehension and their paraphrasing ability in narrative text”. Then, Hasays “There is a correlation between students’ reading comprehension and theirparaphrasing ability in narrative text”.The population of this study is the eleventh graders of SMAN 1 Ambarawa in theacademic year of 2016/2017. The students of XI MIPA 5 are taken as the samples.The design of this study is explanatory research design. The data are gained byadministering two kinds of tests; reading comprehension and paraphrasing tests.Those tests are administered twice by using two different texts. There are three mainprocesses in applying this method in the study; the use of the scatterplot, Pearsonproduct moment coefficient, and correlation coefficient interpretation. Scatterplotsdisplays that there is a positive linear relationship. Then, the data are calculated byusing the Pearson product moment to know the degree of relationship among thevariables. The results of the computation of correlation coefficient applied to thesample are 0.67 and 0.84. The consultation to the critical value of the r ProductMoment with 95% confidence level and the number of the subjects 32 is 0.349. Itmeans that the results obtained from the computation are higher than its criticalvalue. Next, the results of the computation of correlation coefficient are consulted tothe criteria of correlation coefficient interpretation. The interpretations of therelationship are substantial and high to very high. It can be concluded that there is asignificant positive relationship between students’ reading comprehension ability innarrative text (X) and their paraphrasing ability in narrative text (Y) on the eleventhgraders of SMA Negeri 1 Ambarawa in the academic year of 2016/2017.

The result shows of 106 culture-specific terms, there are 20,75% ecology culture, 39,62% of material culture, 16,04% of social culture, 21,70% of organizations, customs, and ideas, and the last is gestures and habits that has 1,89% of data.Based on the data, there are some similar culture-specific terms found based on the data gained. The same culture-specific terms categorization found, but the meaning is different, or the same in meaning but different in TT translation.

Abstract

The ability to implement the Thematic development is important in writing exposition text. Moreover, the exposition text is written to convince the readers. It means the writers are required to achieve the readers’ expectation. This study therefore aims to explore EFL learners’ exposition texts using Thematic progressions. The analysis of this element reveals the logical relations which become the main aspect in the text to achieve micro-level of coherence. Three exposition texts written by high, average and low proficiency level learners, are analyzed using systemic functional linguistics approaches on discourse analysis. The analysis reveals that the exposition text written by high proficiency level learner successfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence it achieves the micro-level of coherence. The Theme re-iteration patterns are implemented to keep the text focused. The zig-zag patterns are used to construct newly introduced information. Then, the multiple Theme patterns are implemented, especially in thesis statements of the texts, to preview the argument that will follow in the texts. Differently, the exposition text written by average proficiency level learner overuses one of the patterns, namely the Theme re-iteration patterns. This makes the text stuck in only same idea. However, the micro-level of coherence is still achieved as the logical relations of the text are still implemented successfully. Lastly, the exposition text written by low proficiency level learner unsuccessfully implements the Thematic progressions and hence the micro-level of coherence is not achieved. In sum, the implementation of Thematic progressions helps the texts to hang together and make sense.
