This study uses English textbook of Indonesian X Grade Senior High School Students published by Indonesian Education & Culture Ministry. Analysis of text comprises Halliday and Hasan’s cohesion model, and analyze linguistic techniques used in the textbook. The result of the study found repeated occurrences of lexical cohesion of reiteration which are: repetition, synonym or near-synonym & superordinate. The sub-category of synonym or near – synonym was found to be the most frequently occurring lexical cohesion; suggesting that the English textbook of Indonesian X Grade Senior High School Students published by Indonesian Education & Culture Ministry are cohesive.
