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 improve students' vocabulary. Students still lack vocabulary, which prevents them from achieving the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM). The subjects of this study were 26 seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Lahewa. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted in two cycles. There are two cycles, and in the first cycle, many students were still unable to achieve the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM). The results showed a significant improvement in students' vocabulary, with the average score increasing from 50.38 (19.23%) in cycle I to 68.46 (88.46%) in cycle II. Additionally, student activity levels improve from 93.75% in cycle I to 100% in cycle II. This study concludes that the Duolingo app is effective in helping students improve their vocabulary and encouraging active participation in the learning process. Therefore, this study successfully improved students' vocabulary in nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs using the Duolingo app. It is hoped that teachers can continue to apply methods that can improve students' vocabulary and creativity.
