This study was conducted at one class of seventh grade junior high school in Karawang. This study employs a qualitative research design. This study uses the theory of thematic progression developed by Eggins (2004) as a framework to analyze the data. The data of this research are six students writing descriptive texts that were obtained from a writing task. The findings of this research show there are three patterns of thematic progression. Reiteration theme showed that students tend to focus on the point and create a coherent text. Zigzag theme showed that students have succeeded in developing the cohesion of the text. And multiple themes showed that students have to be able to develop a lot of information from a rheme as themes. In conclusion, the reiteration theme is the dominant pattern in students descriptive texts, then the second is the zigzag theme and the third is multiple themes.
The study found three patterns of thematic progression in students descriptive writing.Reiteration theme was the most frequently used pattern, likely due to its simplicity and effectiveness in maintaining focus in descriptive texts.Students demonstrated an ability to organize their ideas and create coherent texts using these patterns, indicating a grasp of thematic progression principles.
Further research could explore the impact of explicit instruction in thematic progression on students writing quality, potentially through a quasi-experimental design comparing students who receive such instruction with a control group. Additionally, a study investigating the relationship between students understanding of thematic progression and their ability to comprehend complex texts could provide valuable insights into the broader cognitive benefits of this linguistic concept. Finally, research could examine how thematic progression patterns vary across different text types beyond descriptive writing, such as narrative or argumentative essays, to determine if specific patterns are more effective for different communicative purposes. These investigations would contribute to a more nuanced understanding of how thematic progression influences both writing and reading skills, ultimately informing pedagogical practices and curriculum development.
