This study examined the thematic progression in the introduction of the Journal of Teaching of English. This study aimed to determine the types of thematic progressions used and the most common types of thematic progressions used in the introduction of the journal. This study used qualitative descriptive as a research design. The data of this study were from six introduction journals written by students divided into three research areas: teaching, linguistics, and literature. After collecting the data, the data were analyzed based on the Bloor and Bloor (2004) framework. The findings showed that three of the six journals did not apply the four types of thematic progression. The first journal of teaching did not apply the derived theme pattern, whereas the second journal of teaching and the first journal of linguistics did not apply the split rheme pattern. However, overall, this study found four types of thematic progression: constant theme pattern, linear theme pattern, split rheme pattern, and derived theme pattern. Out of four types, the findings also showed that constant theme pattern was the most commonly used type (134 times), followed by linear theme pattern (63 times), split rheme pattern (22 times), and derived theme pattern (14 times). This study concluded that students applied various types of thematic progression in making the introduction of the journal in order to become coherent.
