ABSTRACT

This research is aimed to improve the students’ mathematics learning outcome by using cooperative learning model’s Two Remain Two Guests in class VII of SMP Negeri I Jogonalan Kabupaten Klaten in the semester I of 2011/2012  academic year. 

This research is a classroom action research. The setting of the research is VII H class in Semester I of SMP Negeri I Jogonalan Kabupaten Klaten in the   academic year of 2011/2012. The research is planned into three cycles, but during the second cycle the research has achieved its indicator so that the research stops in cycle II only.

The research instruments consist of observation sheets, diagnostic tests tasks, and interview.
The result of this research shows that cooperative learning model’s Two Remain Two Guests type can improve the students’ mathematics learning outcome. It can be seen from the observation sheets in four meetings and the students activity percentage which increases from 50%, 66,7%, 83,3% and 91,7%. So, it can be said that VII H class students of SMP Negeri I Jogonalan in semester I become more active.

Substitution: A Grammatical Cohesion

Grammatical Cohesion According to Halliday and Hasan (1976: 4), cohesion occurs when the interpretation of some elements in the discourse is dependent on that of another. It concludes that the one element presupposes the other. The element cannot be effectively decoded except by recourse to it. Moreover, the basic concept of it is a semantic one. It refers to relations of meaning that exists within the text. So, when this happens, a relation of cohesion is set up, and the two elements, the presupposing and the presupposed, are thereby integrated into a text. Halliday and Hasan (1976: 39) classify grammatical cohesion into reference, substitution, ellipsis and conjunction. Substitution Substitution is a relation between linguistic items, such as words or phrases or in the other word, it is a relation on the lexico-grammatical level, the level of grammar and vocabulary, or linguistic form. It is also usually as relation in the wording rather than in the meaning. The criterion is the gram

Lexical Cohesion in Discourse Analysis

Lexical Cohesion Lexical cohesion comes about through the selection of items that are related in some way to those that have gone before (Halliday, 1985: 310). Types of lexical cohesion are repetition, synonymy and collocation. Furthermore, Halliday and Hasan (1976: 288) divide types of lexical cohesion into reiteration (repetition, synonymy or near-synonym, superordinate and general word) and collocation.

Ellipsis in Discourse Analysis

The essential characteristic of ellipsis is something that is present in the selection of underlying (systematic) option that omitted in the structure. According to Halliday and Hasan (1976: 143), ellipsis can be regarded as substitution by zero. It is divided into three kinds, namely nominal ellipsis, verbal ellipsis, and clausal ellipsis. 1)         Nominal Ellipsis Nominal ellipsis means the ellipsis within the nominal group or the common noun that may be omitted and the function of head taken on by one of other elements (deictic, numerative, epithet or classifier). The deictic is normally a determiner, the numerative is a numeral or other quantifier, the epithet is an adjective and the classifier is a noun. According to Hassan and Halliday, this is more frequently a deictic or a numeral than epithet or classifier. The most characteristic instances of ellipsis, therefore are those with deictic or numerative as head.
