The problem discussed in this study is the organization of information structure at the clause/sentence level and the paragraph/text level in addition to text coherence. More specifically, the aim of this study is to investigate Theme / Rheme relationship, Given - New information at the clause level, and textual Theme. It also investigates thematic and rhematic textual progression as a means for achieving coherence in the text. In order to conduct this study, a representative sample of 95 Jordanian Arab undergraduate students have been asked to write free composition in English. The study has revealed that EFL student sample tend to organize Information Structure -at the clause level- by starting the sentence with the Theme and ending it with the Rheme. The Theme in most cases is simple, unmarked one (i.e. it coincides with the grammatical subject of the sentence). The Rheme is also a simple one (i.e. consisting of one rhematic element only). At the text level, the analysis has identified three types of textual Themes: split, synthetic, and hyper Themes. The analysis has also shown that coherence breakdown is related to: absence or misuse of thematic conjunctions, misplaced and irrelevant sentences, inappropriate use of staging and thematic progression, and confused underlying metastructure.
