The result revealed that reiteration among all forms of grammatical and lexical cohesion, which occurs 207 times or 47.15 percent, is the most common form. The reference that appears 124 times or 28.25 percent follows. Collocation is the third position, which happens 60 times or 13.67%. Conjunction, meanwhile, occurs 44 times or 10.02 percent, replacement appears 3 times or 0, 68 percent and ellipsis appears 1 times. In terms of macro level coherenece, the results showed that additives were mostly used in student texts. followed by causal, temporal and last was adversative It concluded that the students to be competing well in producing cohesion and coherence in their writing texts.
