ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT
Khalim, Nor. 2013. The Analysis of Theme in the Background of the Research of Skripsi Written by English Education Department Students of Muria Kudus University. Skripsi. English Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (1) Atik Rokhayani, S.Pd, M.Pd., (2) Fitri Budi Suryani, S.S, M.Pd. Key words:Theme, background of the research, skripsi
are coherence and cohesion. Coherence plays a crucial role in making paragraph read well, where the parts of paragraphs are unified, they are about the same main idea and they flow from one part into another without distracting the organization of the information in paragraphs. In order to follow the flow of information in paragraph, we can analyze Theme choices in it. Theme is defined as the point of departure for what the speaker is going to say.
The objectives of this research are to find out the types of Theme and the most dominant Theme in the background of the research of skripsi written by English Education Department students of Muria Kudus University who graduated in April 2012.
In matter obtaining the objectives of the research, the writer used content analysis qualitative design; whereas the data of the research is Theme and the data source is background of the research of skripsi written by English Education Department students of Muria Kudus University who graduated in April 2012. The writer limits this research by only analyzing four backgrounds of the research of skripsi.
After analyzing the data, the writer found that two out of four students used three types of Themes suggested by Eggins (topical, textual and interpersonal), while the rest only used topical and textual Theme. The most dominant Theme used by students in writing background of the research is topical Theme; it is mostly used to introduce new ideas and maintain the progression of information.
Therefore, the writer suggests that students should enrich their knowledge about Theme; it will benefit them in drafting and revising their compositions. Lecturer is also highly recommended to introduce Theme to students; it will be useful to guide students become aware of how information develops in text.

dengan baik; setidaknya mereka mampu menyusun latar belakang yang memenuhi kriteria teks yang baik; yakni teks yang koheren dan kohesif. Koheren berperan penting dalam membuat sebuah paragraf mudah dipahami, dimana bagian-bagianya menyatu, memiliki ide pokok yang sama dan mengalir dari satu bagian kebagian lainya tanpa mengganggu susunan informasi dalam paragraf. Untuk mengikuti susunan informasi dalam paragraf, kita dapat menganalisa pilihan Theme dalam paragraf tersebut. Theme diartikan sebagai poin awal yang hendak dikatakan oleh si penutur.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui jenis Theme dan Theme yang paling dominan dalam latar belakang masalah di skripsi yang ditulis oleh mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Muria Kudus yang lulus pada April 2012.
Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, penulis menggunakan design kualitatif berupa analisis isi; dimana data dari penelitian ini adalah Theme, sementara data source berupa latar belakang masalah dalam skripsi yang ditulis oleh mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris yang lulus pada April 2012. Peneliti membatasi penelitian ini dengan hanya meneliti empat latar belakang skripsi.
Setelah menganalisa data, penulis menemukan bahwa dua dari empat skripsi menggunakan ketiga jenis Theme yang dikemukakan oleh Eggins (topical, textual, interpersonal), sementara sisanya hanya menggunakan Theme topical dan textual. Theme yang paling dominan dalam latar belakang masalah adalah jenis Topical; Theme ini seringkali digunakan untuk memperkenalkan topik baru dan menjaga progress susunan informasi.
Demikian, penulis menyarankan kepada mahasiswa untuk mempelajari tentang Theme lebih dalam, hal ini akan bermanaat pada waktu mereka membuat draft dan merevisi tulisan mereka. Dosen juga disarankan untuk memperkenalkan Theme kepada siswanya, hal ini bermanfaat untuk membantu siswa dalam mengembangkan informasi dalam teks yang mereka buat.
