Abstract To produce good writings, the students need to know how to organize Theme and Rheme in their writings to make their writings coherent. This organization of Theme and Rheme is known as Thematic Progression. This classroom action research was conducted to know whether Thematic Progression really improved the coherence of the students’ writings. The population in this research consisted of 104 second semester students taking Paragraph-Based Writing course in 2008-2009 academic year at English Department, Faculty of Languages and Letters, Dian Nuswantoro University. They were given a treatment about Thematic Progression. After receiving this treatment, they were asked to write English paragraphs using certain paragraph development, and the results were evaluated. The cycle was iterated for three times. The sample of this research was taken randomly using purposive random sampling. Forty  students were taken as the sample, especially those who had the complete marks for the whole cycles. The result showed the significant improvement on the coherence on the students’ writings  indicated by the increased mean scores in every cycle. The thematic progression pattern the students mostly employed in developing their paragraphs is theme reiteration. The second preferred is zig-zag pattern, while multiple pattern was rarely employed in their writings. Key words: Coherence, Rheme, Students’ writings, Thematic Progression patterns, Theme.

Abstract

Abstract   This paper discusses mainly on  the development of the language acquisition of the three year old child. The object of the study happens to be the writer’s granddaughter. So he could observe her totally, day by day for three years to see how her  language acquisition developed. He recorded the produced sounds, words and sentences whether they are meaningful or not in order to see how she finally could form  meaningful utterances. The fact that learning a first language needs much energy, time and endless effort; since she was  a baby, the environment (the parents, grandparents, aunts etc) has been trying to stimulate her to talk. The response is astounding; she seems to understand what the adults have been communicating. Gradually, when she is three years old she can produce meaningful words, or utterances that can be understood by the adults and even can be used for communication.  Therefore, in this paper, the writer will reveal the process of how a child learns her mother tongue and show the progress of the language acquisition starting from the first cry until the ability to produce meaningful utterances.
