“…Among them, the highest accuracy rate is 88.43%, the highest recall rate is 88.20%, and the highest F1 value is 87.54%. This result is superior to Uru OB et al's 87.65% [24]. The diagnostic model provided by the study is significantly superior to the other four models, with a sentence sorting accuracy of 84.50%.…”

The current English composition automatic correction system rarely involves coherence quality analysis of compositions. Therefore, a semantic coherence diagnosis model for English texts was constructed based on sentence semantic maps, and its effectiveness was verified through experiments. Experimental results show that sub Graphical model 10, 12 and 13 exceed 200 on the first two test texts and 1 on the last two test texts. However, the differences between these three subgraphs on different test texts are not significant, with differences below 30 and 0.3. In addition, when extracting incoherent sentences, the F1 value reaches the optimal value at a threshold of 0.34, which is 87.54%. When the threshold is fixed at 0.34, the accuracy of extracting non coherent sentences also increases with the number of articles, reaching a maximum of 88.43%. At the same time, there was no significant difference in accuracy, recall, and F1 values among different English composition numbers, maintaining between 83% and 89%. The Pearson coefficient calculated in the actual comparison with the teacher's manual composition score is 0.6025, indicating a strong correlation between the two, indicating that the diagnostic results are reliable. Overall, the diagnostic model constructed in the study has strong accuracy and effectiveness, and is practical in the diagnosis of semantic coherence in actual English texts.

“…Based on the nature of the relationship, grammatical cohesion consists of reference cohesion, substitution cohesion, allusion cohesion, and conjunction cohesion (Halliday & Hasan, 2014). Reference cohesion is cohesion in the form of one sentence constituent pointing to another constituent sentence (Uru et al, 2021). Substitution cohesion is cohesion in the form of one constituent sentence replacing another constituent sentence.…”

The study examines the grammatical unit that becomes the means for each type of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs. The object of this study is the grammatical cohesion in a paragraph of Indonesian language. The research problems are the type of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian language paragraph and the grammatical unit that mean to every grammatical cohesion itself. This study uses a theory that is proposed by Halliday and Hassan (1976). The data obtained from the news discourse, exposition discourse, narrative discourse, and procedural discourse found in online and offline media. The data collected using observational method and then to be analyzed using distributional method. The distributional method is applied using substitution technique and marker reading technique. The results of this study state that grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs consists of reference cohesion, substitution cohesion, ellipsis cohesion, and conjunction cohesion.

“…However, considering the students' status as Foreign Language Learners -EFL, it is might be acceptable if most of them faced difficulties in composing their ideas in good writing. Moreover, it looks like cohesiveness is one of the factors that influence the quality of writing (Hidayat, 2017) The cohesive devices are important because they have grammatical and lexical features that help them develop sentences and make them more accurate and contextually understandable (Uru et al, 2021). Therefore, based on the various issues mentioned above regarding cohesive devices, the current research will rely on the types and errors done by students.…”

The cohesive devices are one of the important aspects of academic writing that has been recognized as a fundamental characteristic of good writing. The aims of this study are to find out the types of cohesive devices used by students and to identify the error of using cohesive devices when composing an argumentative text. This study recruited ten students from the fifth semester of the English language program in the 2021/2022 academic year. The research approach used in this study was descriptive qualitative. This entire data were analyzed by identifying the kind of cohesive devices used and also errors of using the cohesive devices. Based on the documentary results of the student's argumentative essay, it indicated that the students used only three types of cohesive devices as a reference, conjunctions, and substitutions. While there are two types of errors revealed in student essays of using cohesive devices, namely; references and conjunctions. The types of references included personal references, such as; they, them, and it, as well as demonstrative references, such as; that, those, and these. Furthermore, there are errors with additive conjunctions such as the using of and or. The Errors in causal conjunctions, such as; using the conjunctions so and because. The students often used the cohesive devices inefficiently, incorrectly, or excessively. In other words, the sentences are not linked correctly and properly. It seems that students cannot use cohesive devices in writing because they do not understand how to use them properly.
