Abstract

This study examines how effectively English as a Foreign Language students can write paragraphs according to such factors as unity, coherence, and organization. They were the English Literature program students of the STBA Prayoga who took a Paragraph Writing subject. Paragraphs written were analysed qualitatively by close examination. Paragraphs were reread multiple times to identify key themes and concerns. This study analyzed a sample of their paragraphs and assessed them through three criteria: organization, unity, and coherence. Organising is nothing but organizing the thoughts in a logical sequence, while unity makes sure every sentence connects back to the main point. Coherence helps ideas flow smoothly within a paragraph. The results showed that students had a variety of skills in these areas. Some were able to write well-structured, unified, and smooth-flowing paragraphs, but others had a harder time keeping their ideas consistent and making their writing flow logically. These findings suggest that we need to focus on teaching strategies that help students better organize their ideas, stay on topic, and improve the flow of their writing. This study helps us understand the challenges faced by EFL learners when writing and offers some helpful ideas on how to support them in improving their paragraph writing skills in school settings.

Abstract

Abstract This is a syntactic analysis on lexical verbs found in a popular short story. It specifically aimed to identify the types and the forms of lexical verbs in a popular short story The Gift of the Magi. Based distributional method analysis on the data gathered through non-participatory observation, six types of lexical verbs were identified: intensive verbs, transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, prepositional verbs, ditransitive verbs, and complex transitive verbs. Intensive verbs appeared to be the dominant in the short story from which the data were obtained. In terms of forms, five forms were identified: past form, base form, -s form, -ing participle, and -ed participle. The base form occurs as a finite form as well as a non-finite form. The -s form occurs only as a finite form in the third person singular present tense.The past form occurs as a finite form in the past tense. The -ing participle and the -ed participle occurs only as a non-finite form. Past form occurs dominantly in the data analyzed.
