SKRIPSI INVESTIGATING GRAMMATICAL COHESION OF STUDENTS’ PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASSROOM IN ENGLISH EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OF UNTIDAR

---

Speaking is an essential skill in English language learning, and understanding how students structure their spoken language can provide insights into their grammatical competence. This study examines the grammatical cohesion in students’ public speaking practices, focusing on the use of reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction as proposed by Halliday and Hasan (2014). It is often challenging for EFL students to use cohesive devices appropriately, especially in real-time spoken discourse. This study was intended to investigate the grammatical cohesion used by students in public speaking performances with two main objectives. First, it aimed to identify the types of grammatical cohesion devices used by students. Second, it sought to identify the most dominant type of grammatical cohesion employed in their speech. The writer conducted qualitative descriptive approach, with the data collected from five video recordings of the third-semester students' public speaking in the English Education Department, Universitas Tidar. The videos were transcribed and analyzed using Halliday and Hasan’s framework, focusing on the presence and frequency of grammatical cohesion. To ensure data validity, investigator triangulation was employed by involving two experts in grammar and speaking. The result of this study revealed that three types of grammatical cohesion were found in students’ speeches: reference (56%), conjunction (35%), and ellipsis (9%). Reference was the most dominant type, particularly personal (e.g., I, we, you) and demonstrative references (e.g., this, these), while substitution was not found at all. Conjunctions such as additive (and), adversative (but, however), causal (because, so), and temporal (then) were also used to connect ideas across clauses. Ellipsis appeared less frequently and mostly in news or weather report contexts. These results suggest that students rely heavily on reference and conjunction to maintain cohesion in their spoken discourse. The absence of substitution and limited use of ellipsis indicate areas for pedagogical improvement. This study highlig
