Abstract
The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with SDG 4 focusing on ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. This study explores the application of Halliday and Hasans (1976) theories of coherence to the ANYAG newsletter, analyzing how cohesive devices enhance communication. By examining the ANYAG newsletter from the third quarter of the 2023 academic year, the study identifies four main types of conjunctions: additive, adversative, causal, and temporal. Additive conjunctions were most prevalent, followed by temporal, causal, and adversative. These conjunctions play a crucial role in shaping text coherence and clarity, linking information, organizing content chronologically, and adding depth through contrasts. The findings highlight the importance of cohesive devices in creating engaging and informative texts, enhancing readability and effectively communicating the institutions milestones and initiatives. This study underscores the necessity for meticulous use of cohesive devices in institutional communications.
