“…The finding of this study is similar to the research finding from RahmtAllah since he saw the result of his analysis is most of the students applied the pronouns in their writing [12]. Furthermore, Dasril, Zaim, and Ningsih analyzed the students' coherence in the background of the problem of the thesis proposal [13]. Then, they found that most of the students had built coherence in their writing.…”

Coherence is one of the elements that should be considered in writing, especially in writing a review of related theories of the thesis proposal. Furthermore, it is also known if the review of related theories is one of the main sections in the thesis proposal since the students' understanding of the topic of study can be seen in this section. Their knowledge in this section can be seen when they have to find out, explain, and review the theories from some experts. However, some coherence issues occur in writing a review of related theories of the thesis proposal. The matters are the students often lack in using the transitional signals to connect the ideas in writing the review of related theories, grammatical problems, and the way students organize the ideas. Related to these issues, this article has the aim to seek the ability of graduate students to construct coherence in the review of related theories of thesis proposals. The descriptive research design was used in this study to describe their ability to create coherence. To determine their ability, 24 reviews of related theories from different thesis proposals were chosen using purposive sampling. It was found that most of the graduate students had good ability in constructing coherence in their review of related theories of thesis proposal. Thus, it can be interpreted if graduate students understood well and could apply the coherence well enough in writing a review of related theories.

“…From the point of content, the assessment is based on the intrinsic element of a paragraph. It should be unity and coherence (Dasril et al, 2019). Unity refers to the idea that becomes the focus of the one-whole paragraph.…”

Having the ability to write paragraphs is important, especially for students in higher education. Nevertheless, mastering the skill of writing is not easy, takes time, and sometimes is boring. Looking for the alternative leads the researcher to do research with the aim of finding the favorite topics of writing and understanding the difficulties in writing a paragraph using the psycholinguistics approach. Students are firstly given an explanation about the paragraph including the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of it. Then, they are instructed to write a paragraph in several steps but are free to choose their own topics. Their works then are analyzed in order to see the topic chosen by the students in writing paragraphs. Next, the analysis is focused on the structure and the ideas they deliver through the sentences. The results show that the topics chosen are about things related to their real life, like health, technology, food, sport, and natural disaster. Meanwhile, dealing with the structures and the ideas, the students’ works are divided into five categories. The two dominant categories are expected structure but unexpected content, and expected structure and expected content. Hence, the findings will be taken into the consideration for the lesson material. Besides, the student’s skill of writing and their problem in writing that is shown by the analysis of structure and content will be the focus of lesson discussion. Therefore, the students are expected to have fun learning in writing.
