English Learning Materials for Senior High School Grade X written by
MGMP Team of Kudus Regency is one of English handbook which is used as a
main learning source for students. It provides so many materials including reading
texts. There are five text types in this book. And as a handbook, the texts in this
book must be correct and coherence. And it can be done by analyzing textual
meaning. To analyze and discuss textual meaning, we need a tool that we call theme
and rheme. The exchange information between successive theme and rheme pairings
in a text is called as thematic progression. Thematic progression contributes to the
cohesive development of a whole text.
The objective of this research is to find out the types of theme and thematic
progression of reading texts in English Learning Materials for Senior High School
Grade X written by MGMP team of Kudus Regency.

coherent text. So they can be a professional English teacher and can teach their
students how to create a coherent text. The writer also recommends for English
students and further reseracher to add their knowledge about the theme-rheme and

ABSTRAK
Triyani. 2013. Themes and Thematic Progression pada Teks Bacaan di Meteri
Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Sekolah Menengah Atas untuk Kelas X yang
ditulis oleh Tim MGMP kabupaten Kudus. Skripsi. Program Studi
Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan
Universitas Muria Kudus. Dosen Pembimbing: (I) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd,
M.Pd. (II) Rismiyanto, S.S, M. Pd.
Kata Kunci: Theme-Rheme, Thematic Progression, Teks Bacaan
Materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X
yang ditulis oleh tim MGMP kabupaten Kudus merupakan salah satu buku pegangan
yang digunakan sebagai sumber belajar utama oleh siswa. Buku ini menyediakan
banyak materi termasuk teks bacaan. Ada lima tipe teks dalam buku ini. Sebagai
buku pegangan, teks yang ada dalam buku ini harus benar dan koheren. Dan ini
dapat ditempuh dengan menganalisa makna tekstual. Untuk menganalisa makna
tekstual, kita membutuhkana alat yang kita sebut theme dan rheme. Penukaran
informasi antara theme dan rheme berturut-turut didalam teks disebut thematic
progression. Thematic progression berkontribusi dalam pengembangan teks, dan
kemudian menghasilkan teks yang koheren secara utuh.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan jenis theme dan jenis
thematic progression yang pada teks bacaan dalam buku Materi Pembelajaran
bahasa inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X yang ditulis oleh tim MGMP
kabupaten Kudus.
Penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Data yang diperoleh yaitu dengan
menganalisa tipe theme dan thematic progression pada teks bacaan dalam buku
Materi Pembelajaran bahasa inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X yang
ditulis oleh tim MGMP kabupaten Kudus.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teks bacaan dalam buku Materi
Pembelajaran bahasa inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X yang ditulis oleh
tim MGMP Kabupaten Kudus terdiri dari 270 topical theme, 101 textual theme, dan
7 interpersonal theme. Pada akhirnya dapat dilihat bahwa urutan tertinggi dari tipe
theme adalah topical theme. Penulis juga menemukan bahwa teks tersebut
menggunakan macam-macam tipe thematic progression yang terdiri dari 158
constant/reiteration theme, 62 zigzzag theme, 14 multiple theme. Jadi dapat dilihat
bahwa urutan tertinggi dari tipe thematic progression adalah reiteration/constant
theme.
Oleh karena itu, penulis menyarankan kepada guru bahasa Inggris agar
memahami thematic progression sehingga mereka bisa mengajar para siswa tentang
bagaimana menciptakan teks yang koheren. Penulis juga menyarankan kepada siswa
jurusan bahasa Inggris dan peneliti selanjutnya, untuk menambah pengetahuan
tentang theme dan rheme dan thematic progression sehingga mereka mampu
membuat teks yang seluruhnya koheren khususnya didalam kemampuan menulis.

Kata Kunci: Theme-Rheme, Thematic Progression, Teks Bacaan
Materi pembelajaran bahasa Inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X
yang ditulis oleh tim MGMP kabupaten Kudus merupakan salah satu buku pegangan
yang digunakan sebagai sumber belajar utama oleh siswa. Buku ini menyediakan
banyak materi termasuk teks bacaan. Ada lima tipe teks dalam buku ini. Sebagai
buku pegangan, teks yang ada dalam buku ini harus benar dan koheren. Dan ini
dapat ditempuh dengan menganalisa makna tekstual. Untuk menganalisa makna
tekstual, kita membutuhkana alat yang kita sebut theme dan rheme. Penukaran
informasi antara theme dan rheme berturut-turut didalam teks disebut thematic
progression. Thematic progression berkontribusi dalam pengembangan teks, dan
kemudian menghasilkan teks yang koheren secara utuh.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan jenis theme dan jenis
thematic progression yang pada teks bacaan dalam buku Materi Pembelajaran
bahasa inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X yang ditulis oleh tim MGMP
kabupaten Kudus.
Penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Data yang diperoleh yaitu dengan
menganalisa tipe theme dan thematic progression pada teks bacaan dalam buku
Materi Pembelajaran bahasa inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X yang
ditulis oleh tim MGMP kabupaten Kudus.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teks bacaan dalam buku Materi
Pembelajaran bahasa inggris untuk sekolah menengah atas kelas X yang ditulis oleh
tim MGMP Kabupaten Kudus terdiri dari 270 topical theme, 101 textual theme, dan
7 interpersonal theme. Pada akhirnya dapat dilihat bahwa urutan tertinggi dari tipe
theme adalah topical theme. Penulis juga menemukan bahwa teks tersebut
menggunakan macam-macam tipe thematic progression yang terdiri dari 158
constant/reiteration theme, 62 zigzzag theme, 14 multiple theme. Jadi dapat dilihat
bahwa urutan tertinggi dari tipe thematic progression adalah reiteration/constant
theme.
Oleh karena itu, penulis menyarankan kepada guru bahasa Inggris agar
memahami thematic progression sehingga mereka bisa mengajar para siswa tentang
bagaimana menciptakan teks yang koheren. Penulis juga menyarankan kepada siswa
jurusan bahasa Inggris dan peneliti selanjutnya, untuk menambah pengetahuan
tentang theme dan rheme dan thematic progression sehingga mereka mampu
membuat teks yang seluruhnya koheren khususnya didalam kemampuan menulis.
