 The objectives of this study are; (1) to formulate patterns of coding used in conversation texts of the English Zone textbook, 2) to investigate how coding are structured in conversation texts of the English Zone textbook, and 3) to reason why the coding techniques are used in conversation texts of the English Zone textbook. The data were taken from conversation texts of students’ English textbook: English Zone for senior high school students year grade XI (SMA). Descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. There were six conversation texts as the data source was taken from students’ English textbook: English Zone. The findings of this study shown that there are two types of patterns of coding in conversation texts, namely congruent and metaphorical coding. Congruent coding patterns are built in complete mood and residue (at least using mood) and metaphorical coding patterns are built in elliptical mood pattern. Mood and residue pattern is caused by the system of the conversation is using Proposition system. It means the conversation texts involve the statement and question, in another word, the content of the conversation dominantly are about giving and demanding information.  It was found that conversation texts convey the simple structure of conversation which means to attract the readers or students to understand easier by using complete mood and residue and elliptical mood pattern of conversation text is in less number. Thus, those conversation text in English Zone textbook written in simple structures in case of language usage to make the message or information easier to understand. Keywords:English Zone Textbook; Congruent and Metaphor Coding;and Proposition System of Conversation Texts

Misconceptions in stoichiometry of senior high school students grade X were studied through a qualitative research using a diagnostic test in the form of multiple choices with reason on 22 students from grade X-3. The validity of the instrument found was 83%. Meanwhile the realiability found was 0,61. The misconceptions found were in: (a) reaction equation is the equality number of coefficient in reactant and in the product for about 13,63%; (b) index number of an atom in a compound is the same as in free element for about 9,09%; (c) the molecule symbol of element in the form of gass has 2 index number for about 27,27%; (d) the greater number of coefficient reaction shows the greater number of substances involved in a reaction for about 9,09%; (e) no matter how many mols in a compound, it has a fixed molecules, 6,2 x 1023 molecules, for about 4,54%; (f) define atom the same as molecules, for about 9,09%; and (g) for P and T that have the same comparison of gass volume that involves in a reaction serves as the smallest coefficient.
