Coherence is one of aspects that plays significant role in writing. Coherence can be analysed using the Thematic Progression of The Theme system of systemic functional linguistics. However, there is lack of study on analysing thematic progression of postgraduate students’ thesis abstracts. The study aimed at investigating thematic progression pattern in thesis abstracts written by postgraduate students in a university in Bandung. A descriptive qualitative design was employed in this study since it attempts to describe and analyse the textual data. Six thesis abstracts of postgraduate students in a state university in Bandung were collected from the university website. The result shows that three thematic progression patterns: Theme Reiteration, Zig-zag, and Multiple-Rheme pattern, were realized in their thesis abstracts. The most used thematic progression pattern in students’ thesis abstracts is the Zig-Zag pattern (59.38%). However, students may have difficulties in writing abstracts since they are not using various patterns and the limitation of words in abstract. Besides, students still need guidance in writing an appropriate abstract for their thesis. Keywords: thematic progression, postgraduate students, thesis abstract

Abstract

Revealing teachers’ beliefs about teaching in EFL speaking contexts may help better teaching practice. This research was conducted to investigate a teacher’s belief about teaching speaking focusing on convergences and discrepancies between the beliefs and the practices in the classroom. Grounded in a qualitative case study with interviews and classroom observations, an experienced English teacher with more than 10 years of teaching speaking in English participated in the study. The results of the study indicated that the teacher paid more attention to fluency and gave practical speaking tips when the students encountered communication breakdowns. Further, the teacher generally practiced her belief in the classroom, even though she encountered some discrepancies. It was due to some students’ factors including students’ language proficiency and their affective factors. Therefore, it is essential for EFL teachers to systematically and regularly monitor the relations between their beliefs and practices through reflective practices in order to improve their everyday practice of teaching speaking in particular. It is further suggested that teachers get engaged in some reflective practices to bridge their beliefs and teaching practices and find out how the reflection can benefit their beliefs and instructional decisions.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate junior high school EFL teachers' perception toward the implementation of genre-based approach as a suggested teaching model of English from 2004 up to the newest curriculum. The design of this research was a descriptive qualitative study. It was clearly proved that teachers considered the GBA as an effective model that aligned with the current student-centered approach in the latest curriculum.

The findings showed that some teachers still needed help in implementing the stages of GBA, mostly at the stage of Independent Construction of the Text, due to a lack of teachers' training, resulting in many problems in the process of GBA implementation.
