What are the types of cohesion in the narrative texts presented in the electronic textbook of senior high school grade X entitled “Developing
English Competence”? 2.
How do the occurring types of cohesion reflect the semantic links in narrative texts presented in the electronic textbook of senior high school
grade X entitled “Developing English Competence” in relation to their compatibility as language inputs for reading materials?
E. Objectives of the Research
The objectives of the research are: 1.
To identify the types of cohesion in narrative texts presented in the electronic textbook of senior high school
grade X entitled “Developing English Competence”.
2. To interpret of the occurring types of cohesion in narrative texts presented

compatibility of materials especially narrative texts and encourage them to provide better language inputs for language learning especially for reading
comprehension. 3.
will enhance the researcher‟s knowledge about the field of discourse analysis and trigger her motivation to get involved in the world of
linguistic study. 4.
might spark interest and enthusiasm of other researchers in how this issue could be approached from a different point of view.
