Abstract

Cohesion and coherence are aspects of writing that aim to improve the quality of writing. However, maintaining cohesion and coherence in a text is a challenge for some students, especially those who learn English as a foreign language (EFL). As a nonverbal communication medium, a text's coherence and cohesiveness are crucial in determining how well readers will understand the message contained in it. This study aims to find out the types of cohesive devices used by the students, and the percentage of cohesive and coherent recount texts of the students. The participants in this study were 20 students of class B in semester 5 of the English education study program. The type of research used is qualitative research. Based on the initial observation of English Department students, this study found that students were able to maintain cohesion and coherence components in their recount texts. The results showed that the students' recount texts reached a good level of application of cohesion and coherence components. This is shown by the students' average score is 94%, which shows that the students utilized cohesion devices to build the coherence of their texts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of skimming and scanning techniques in reading instruction implemented by the English teacher for eighth-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Mandrehe Barat. The research focuses on how these techniques are applied during classroom activities and explores the challenges faced by the teacher in the teaching process. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and supporting documentation. The findings reveal that the teacher was able to apply skimming and scanning effectively to improve students’ reading comprehension. Skimming enabled students to identify the main ideas, themes, and general meaning of the text, while scanning facilitated the ability to locate specific information such as names, dates, and key terms. These techniques not only improved reading speed but also encouraged more active participation among students, creating a more interactive learning atmosphere. However, the study also identified several obstacles, including limited instructional time, variations in students’ reading proficiency levels, and challenges related to inadequate vocabulary mastery, which sometimes hindered comprehension. Despite these challenges, the integration of skimming and scanning proved beneficial in motivating students to read more purposefully and strategically. The study concludes that these reading strategies play a vital role in enhancing comprehension and engagement in English language learning. It is recommended that teachers receive further professional development and be supported with appropriate teaching resources to optimize the application of skimming and scanning techniques in various classroom contexts.
