Abstract

The notion of setting effective seating arrangements has been reviewed in some research related to classroom management strategies. In practice, seating arrangement can be one of the most important aspects that can create a positive learning environment in the classroom. However, considering effective classroom management and setting effective seating arrangements are often neglected by the teachers in their teaching preparation. This research was conducted to investigate the students’ perspectives toward orderly rows seating arrangements in higher level education. In this study, three main instruments were used to collect the data namely interview, observation, and questionnaire. Based on the results of the study, it is found that the use of orderly rows seating arrangements in the classrooms has some advantages and disadvantages. In some circumstances, orderly rows seating arrangement is best applied for doing presentation, lecture, or explanation. Unless, it is less effective for several reasons such as it tends to have teacher-centered than student-centered learning; there are less of group discussions; and it diminishes the teacher or students’ movements. To review these findings, furthermore, it is suggested that the use of seating arrangements in the classrooms should vary set from orderly rows, circle, U-shape, horseshoe, to separate tables by using appropriate movable desk-chairs accustomed to the learning goals, needs, methods, and classroom situation. Keywords: orderly rows seating arrangement; classroom management

Abstract

This study aims to explore cohesion and coherence in an explanation text written by an EFL learner. To do this, the cohesive devices of the explanation text are analyzed. Also, the text is analyzed using the Thematic progressions theory to find out the logical relationship of the sentences and whether or not the text can meet the readers’ expectations. There are several steps to analyze both elements. The first is broking up the paragraphs of the text into sentences. The second is using Thematic progressions to analyze the text. Finally, the writer analyzed the cohesive devices which function to connect sentences. All those data later are elaborated in paragraphs as descriptive-qualitative research design is employed in this study. The results shows that, in term of cohesive devices, the writer uses direct repetition, partial repetition, and same lexical set to build lexical cohesion. It is also found that the writer uses reference, substitution, and ellipsis to build grammatical cohesion. However, the writer seems to have insufficient knowledge to use the cohesive devises correctly. Additionally, the analysis of Thematic progressions shows that some sentences in the text have no logical relationship. Lastly, this study finds that the writer also seem to have insufficient knowledge of schematic structures of the explanation text. Keywords: Exposition text; Cohesive Devices; Thematic Progression
