Analyzing Textual Cohesion, Genre, Register, Tone, and Audience in Amy
Winger’s Text
In "Overcoming Challenges in Online Learning: Retention Factors and Prime
Persistence Practices," Amy Winger aims to inform and persuade readers about
strategies to enhance retention rates in online learning. By addressing the
challenges faced by adult learners, the writer integrates research, practical tools, and
motivational practices to offer actionable solutions for improving persistence in the
online education environment. Through careful use of textual and repetition
cohesion, adherence to the genre of academic discourse, a professional register, an
empathetic yet authoritative tone, and a well-targeted audience, Winger effectively
communicates her purpose.
Textual cohesion in Winger’s text is achieved through various linguistic and structural
strategies that bind the content into a coherent whole. The use of transition words
and phrases such as "likewise," "in fact," and "finally" ensures a logical flow of
ideas, guiding the reader through different sections seamlessly. For instance, the
transition from the discussion of prioritization problems to motivational issues is
smooth, maintaining the reader's engagement while introducing a new yet related
topic.
Repetition is employed effectively to reinforce key themes and concepts. Words such
as "persistence," "retention," and "motivation" recur throughout the text, emphasizing
the central issues at hand. For example, the phrase "persistence rates" appears
multiple times to underscore its importance as a focal point. Furthermore, the
repetition of terms like "time-management" and "self-regulation" highlights their
significance as solutions, ensuring that the reader retains these essential concepts.
Additionally, the consistent use of specific examples, such as apps like Google
Calendar and Pomofocus, contributes to cohesion by illustrating theoretical points
with practical applications. This alignment between research findings and real-world
tools strengthens the connection between different sections of the text, making the
argument more persuasive.
