Abstract
Without cohesion, a text can hardly exist at all, for cohesion provides the textual means for initiating comprehension. As one form of written discourse and due to its crucial role, the background of the study of thesis is an important part that contains arguments and ideas that student need to construct and structure in their writing. STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo is chosen as a subject because it is one of the leading teacher training institutions in Sidoarjo. Therefore, this study is conducted. The research questions are 1) what types of cohesive devices are commonly used on the Background of the Study of undergraduate thesis written in Academic year 2015/2016 by English Language Teaching Department Students of STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo, and 2) what types of errors in using cohesive devices. This study focuses on identifying students’ written product on the use of cohesive device. Qualitative performance analysis is chosen as the design of this study since the researcher is analyzing students’ performance in using cohesive devices in written text. The result of this study, the researcher found all types of cohesive devices. There are two types of cohesive devices. The first one is the grammatical cohesive devices that consist of four types. The most frequently used are reference (60,89%), and the following are conjunction (23,83%), substitution (0,51%), and ellipsis (0,15%). The second one is the lexical cohesive device that consists of two types. The most frequently used is reiteration (9,78%) and the following is collocation (4,84%). And the researcher found some errors on the use of cohesive devices. They are in reference (55,55%) and conjunction (44,44%). The type of errors in reference are addition (22,22%) and inappropriate use (33,33%) of cohesive devices. Moreover, the type of errors in conjunction is wrong mechanism(44,44%). Furthermore, there are some interesting facts in the findings :First, the demonstrative reference “the” is the most frequently used because the major background is teaching, the definite article “the” is often used to refer to component language of teaching and learning such as student, teacher, classroom, text and method. Second, the first person singular pronoun or possessive pronoun such as ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘my’, are rarely used by the student because the research hardly ever addressed himself in their writing. Third, that majority of students prefer to use conjunction ‘and’ to express addition in writing. Fourth, The researcher rarely found metonymy. Moreover, there is an interesting finding in the use repetition. The student repeated some words several times.
