Education Department, Faculty of Humanities, Jenderal Soedirman University
%X This paper presents a study on students‟ speaking especially in Daily Conversation
class. It is aimed at finding talks‟ coherence by using the analysis of thematic
progression. Five talks of the students are randomly taken into the analysis. A certain
topic is given to develop the idea and a text type namely recount is chosen to be
presented by those students. Next, those utterances are examined whether they are
coherent or not. It is found out that all of the texts have good coherence. Regardless the
grammar and vocabulary aspects, all five students are able to develop the idea
coherently. Based on the result of analysis, the students tend to use Unmarked Topical
Theme as their theme in the form of pronouns either singular or plural. In line with this,
reiteration or constant thematic progression is mostly chosen by the students, instead of
zig-zag or multiple patterns which only happen in 1 or 2 texts.
