Abstract

One of the significant elements of writing skills is cohesion. Cohesion is a concept that refers to the connection and smooth relationship between elements in a text or discourse. In the context of writing, cohesion is the ability to connect ideas, sentences, or paragraphs so that they form a coherent and easy-to-understand whole. Cohesion plays an important role in ensuring that a text has a logical flow and can be understood well by readers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate cohesive devices found in graduate students' theses. It is the case that the language that is utilized the most frequently in print, electronic, and internet media is English. Writing in English is becoming an increasingly crucial ability, particularly in the academic sphere, as English continues to prevail as the universal language of choice for scientific research and publications. To comprehensively analyze how cohesive devices are utilized in the thesis text, the present study employs a qualitative descriptive method. Coding was used to analyze the data from the theses written by one graduate students. The categories of text and texture, cohesion, grammatical cohesion, and lexical cohesion were considered during the analysis. Based on the findings of this study, grammatical coherence was examined in eight sentences, while lexical cohesion was examined in four sentences.

Abstract

The importance of preserving and maintaining cultural identity has become a major highlight amidst ever-growing globalizations. In the context of student exchange, an interesting initiative has emerged in the Mora Overseas Student Mobility Award (MOSMA) program. This research aims to abstract the contributions and experiences of MOSMA participants in efforts to maintain Indonesian cultural identity in Scotland, United Kingdom. This research uses qualitative research methods with participant observation. Data collection was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews with MOSMA participants from various backgrounds. The research results show that MOSMA is not only a program for learning in the academic field but also a place to gain in-depth cultural experiences. MOSMA participants are actively involved in various activities, such as regular international student meetings, cultural discussions, introductions to traditional music and songs, all of which play an important role in maintaining and introducing Indonesia's cultural identity abroad. Apart from that, MOSMA also provides a platform to develop social skills, independence and a sense of belonging to the nation's cultural heritage. Through MOSMA, participants can feel a sense of pride in Indonesia's cultural identity, thereby strengthening their commitment to passing it on to future generations. In conclusion, MOSMA has proven itself as an effective program initiative in maintaining and strengthening Indonesia's cultural identity amidst globalizations. By continuing to provide adequate support and attention, MOSMA has the potential to become an inspiring model in maintaining cultural diversity throughout the world.

Abstract

This study investigates the compatibility between Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and the traditional learning values embedded within Indonesian pesantren, particularly in the context of English language instruction. While CLT emphasizes communicative competence, learner autonomy, authentic interaction, and meaningful use of language, pesantren education is grounded in values such as discipline, obedience, communal learning, and character formation. These contrasting orientations raise questions about whether CLT can be effectively integrated into pesantren classrooms or whether fundamental pedagogical tensions may arise. Drawing on existing literature on CLT implementation in EFL contexts and studies on pesantren learning culture, this conceptual inquiry examines points of convergence and divergence between the two educational paradigms. Findings indicate several areas of compatibility: both CLT and pesantren prioritize collaborative learning, contextualized meaning-making, and the development of communicative ethics. pesantren traditions such as musya>warah (deliberation) and halaqah (discussion circles) naturally support interactive and cooperative learning, which align with core CLT principles. However, challenges emerge in relation to learner autonomy, teacher, student power relations, and the shift from teacher-centered instruction to student-centered practices. The study argues that with culturally responsive adaptation, such as integrating pesantren-based group practices into communicative activities and reframing autonomy within Islamic educational values, CLT can be harmonized with pesantren learning traditions. Ultimately, the study proposes a hybrid pedagogical model that maintains pesantren identity while enabling communicative English learning, offering implications for curriculum developers, English teachers, and Islamic educational institutions seeking to enhance communicative competence without compromising religious and cultural foundations.
