The purpose of this study is to analyze the clause types in English for Finance and Banking 2 by Majorie Rosenberg (2012). Ten reading comprehension articles from the book are the sources of the statistics. Halliday and Mathiessen's transitivity system (2014) serves as the foundation for the theoretical framework for data analysis. The paper uses a qualitative descriptive method. The study's findings identify four main types of processes used in reading collections: material, mental, relational, and verbal. Therefore, it is recommended that English textbooks for specific purposes be written to ensure minimum linguistic standards in accordance with international norms.
