Analyzing the Data of Interpretation from a Thesis

Thesis is a part of important thing in Educational Research. It is as requirement for

university students who want to graduate their study. Actually, thesis has five parts,
following: introduction, review of related literature, research methodology, research finding
and conclusion and suggestion. Especially for research finding, there is an important part. It
is about discussion and interpretation. It talks more about the final finding of the research
whatever the final study will be accepted or not. In the fact, the writer here wants to analyze
the discussion and interpretation from a thesis of Afri Yanti, her title research is Teaching
Vocabulary by Applying Whats that Card Game and Make a Message Game. Actually, there
are three components which want to analyze, such as: using tenses, unity and coherence and
grammatical error.
Actually, using tenses is actually related to time event, for example: if the activity
happens in the past tense, we have to use Verb II in our sentence. It means that, it belongs to
simple past tense. Moreover, from Afri Yanti thesis, there are some errors of using tenses.
Firstly, we can find in paragraph II line 7, there is a sentence they should answered, for
correct grammatical it should be they should answer. The tense here is related to simple future
tense. As we know, simple future tense belongs to activity which happens in the future. So,
after modal (can, may, shall, will) we have to put V 1 in our sentence. Then, in last sentence,
we find the sentence the game continued. If we analyze that sentence, it should be in passive
voice form not in active voice form. So, it will be the game was continued. It will be also for
the sentence the game started, it should be in passive voice the game was started.
Next, the same conditionn happens in the paragraph IV line 2, there is a sentence the
first class taught. Actually, it must be the first class was taught. Finally, we also find the

tenses error in last paragraph in line two there is a word gives in a sentence, it must be gave
because that activity happens in the past tense. So, it belongs to simple past tense. Moreover,
in interpretation part, we also find the error of using a tenses in paragraph I line 11, the
sentence the researcher also easy, it must be the researcher also was easy. Actually, we have
to put tobe (was or were) in past event. In addition, in paragraph II line 3, the sentence
hypothesis accepted, it should be the hypothesis was accepted. It means that it belongs to
passive voice form. Finally, there are some grammatical errors of using tenses that we can
find in the thesis. The more errors finds in using passive voice form.
Secondly, unity and coherence will be important part in basic of writing. As we know,
unity means there is one idea from beginning until the end in a paragraph. Thus, coherence
means the idea hold together. To make it balance, we must put some transition signal in our
sentences. Related to Afri Yantis thesis, she still kept her unity of thesis but there is a little bit
error of coherence. It could be found in some paragraphs in using good transition signal. For
paragraph III, line 8, there is same transition signal then. In the fact, we can change it with
after that or next, it effects to be better thesis.
After that, in Paragraph IV line 2, we may put transition signal in fact before the class
taught. It is also for line 5, we have to add after that before the sentence the student in first
class. Next, in paragraph V in line 5, the transition signal and can be changed by however, it
is because two sentences has opposite idea. Actually and is for same idea. In addition, for the
requirement of coherence and unity, the sentences should be in six sentences more but for
paragraph VII, it is too short. So, the idea must be added at least three more idea in sentences
form. Finally, there are some errors in choosing transition signal of Afri Yanti thesis.

Thirdly, we can see some grammatical error in using subordinate close. In fact,
subordinate close is also called adjective clause. It is for two sentences that the subject or
object can be changed into who, whom, which or whose. We can find them in some following
paragraphs. Actually, for paragraph II line 2, there is which there, actually it should be who.
We can see in meaning of sentences, which is for noun but two sentences can be changed into
who for subject. Moreover, we can see in consistent of using subject. In paragraph II, there
are two keys of subjects, following the researcher and the teacher. Actually, she must be
consistent to write the researcher or the teacher.
To make it clear, it can be concluded there are some errors criteria in writing Afri
Yantis thesis. It will be followed into using a good tenses, unity and coherence (especially
coherence relates to transition signal), using subordinate close, and using consistence subject
in thesis writing. So, after we read more her thesis. We can get the keys that we have to read
more for better our thesis. Or sometimes, we can tell our friend who she or he reads our thesis
to show the errors in writing. It is also suitable with the motivation words the more you read,
the more you get.
