CONTEXTUAL COHERENCE IN RECOUNT ESSAY

Abstract

Writing is one of the most difficult aspects in language
skills. In fact. for some learners writing could be the most difficult
skill compared to other language skills. This skill requires precise
grammar; appropriate uses of cohesive devices. capability to choose
the most suitable vocabulary. and the ability to maintain the
coherence. Maintaining the coherence. especially the contextual
coherence in recount essays is not easy. Learners often have problems
with the use of cohesive devices. grammatical structures. and the
schematic structure of a recount. In fact. those three problems are
the components that support contextual coherence. When there are
problems in those components. contextual coherence cannot be
achieved.
