Related to the purpose of the research, the study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method.

The data collected were then analyzed based on the theory of Halliday and Hasan and also David Nunan about cohesive devices. Although the data were analyzed and identified descriptively, a simple calculation is still needed in order to find the percentages of each cohesive device used by students in their writing. According to the findings, the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Pati are applying both of grammatical and lexical cohesion in their texts. Reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, reiteration, and collocation are used by the students, thus, the ideas in each sentence can be connected properly. From the percentage calculation, it is found that reference and reiteration are the most prevalent cohesive devices used in the texts. Since Indonesia apply School Based Curriculum, the communication competence in written and spoken text to reach the informational level of literacy become one of the objectives of teaching English in senior high school and considering the importance of cohesion in writing a text, it is advisable for English teachers to master the knowledge about cohesive markers.
