Abstract

A plethora of research has shown that genre analysis through move analysis is a practical approach to identify the complexity of writing research articles (RAs). However, little is known about the genre knowledge development that is manifested in abstract discourse patterns. This study aims to determine whether or not there is an influence from the level of education with the development of genre knowledge, especially in the field of writing research abstracts. Using Hyland’s (2000) five-move analysis model, this study analyzed the comparison and identity of abstracts of theses and dissertations in English and Indonesian. From the analysis, it can be seen that there are some differences and similarities in the manifestation of abstract discourse patterns in English and Indonesian final paper abstracts. In terms of genre knowledge, its development could be reflected through the level of study, in this case, from master’s to doctoral degrees. As evident in the dissertation abstracts in both languages, Move 1 (Introduction) evinces richer varieties in step realizations than in master’s theses. The analysis also indicates no crucial differences in genre knowledge development across languages and fields of study. Further comparative research on this particular topic with more subject of data is suggested.

Abstract

Intercultural sensitivity and personality traits constitute eminent and inseparable elements associated with EFL learning. Nevertheless, to the best of the writers’ knowledge, limited investigations in an Indonesian EFL primary school level concerning these two variables were found; therefore, the present study was intended to scrutinize the Indonesian EFL primary school students’ intercultural sensitivity and personality traits. 96 students from the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades of one primary school in Bandung were involved. An embedded design of a mixed-method was employed. The data were garnered using 4-Likert scale questionnaires gauging the students’ intercultural sensitivity and their personality traits focusing on extroversion, followed by some open-ended questions. The findings revealed that students’ intercultural sensitivity was considered good (the mean of 80.06 and standard deviation of 8.50), and most students tended to be extroverted (the mean of 72.62 and the standard deviation of 9.89). The students’ intercultural sensitivity was found to be significantly related to their extroversion at a 99% level of confidence (.000 .01). Finally, the findings along with the previous studies explicating the intercultural sensitivity and personality traits advocate some pedagogical implications for facilitating students’ English learning.

Abstract

An abstract is the selling point of a research article (RA), due to the fact that it can help the readers and particularly journal reviewers in selecting which RAs are remarkable to be read further and accepted. A plethora of research has analyzed the rhetorical moves and linguistic features of accepted RAAs. Nevertheless, almost none of them have explored the rejected one, based on the authors’ affiliation. Invoking Hyland’s (2000) rhetorical move model as the main instrument, this study intends to dismantle and fill up those lacunas by utilizing 31 rejected RAAs in total from Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL), submitted in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The data were then separated into the same affiliation (13 abstracts) and different affiliation (18 abstracts) groups in order to find the commonality and discrepancy in the rhetorical move and linguistic features (i.e. tenses, voice, and grammatical subjects). As a result, the authors’ affiliation had some influences on the structure of rhetorical moves of RAAs and the accommodation of linguistic features in each move. It also appeared that there were some primary shortcomings found in the rejected abstracts as compared to the accepted ones. This study can be adopted as the reference for future research in rhetorical moves analysis, specifically regarding the authors’ affiliation and rejected RAAs.

Abstract

This study investigates patterns of the theme and thematic progression in a recount text by a pre-service teacher in Indonesia. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative case study research design. The data were obtained from six pre-service teachers’ texts. This study uses the theory of the Theme system developed by Halliday (2014) and the theory of Thematic progression proposed by Eggins (2004) as the framework to analyze the data. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers employed various approaches to building interest and depth in their work, such as coherence using sufficient textual themes and theme progressions. The theme system includes the topical, interpersonal, and textual themes delivered to make the text cohesive and coherent. Furthermore, the Zigzag pattern showed that the teacher maintained a clear focus, successfully established a logical connection, and provided elaboration in their writing. Although it needs several improvements on the higher-level theme, the teacher employed various approaches to building interest and depth in her work. The findings of this study suggest that pre-service teachers need to work on a higher level of English writing for academic and professional writing competence. Finally, it has implications for future studies that could extend this study in investigating argumentative texts written by teachers to improve the higher level of English writing and professional competence.

Abstract

Recount text is included within the curriculum of English subjects in the Indonesian context, where students are expected to be well-informed and be able to compose a good recount text to express themselves. The current study aimed at analyzing the recount text written by an advanced (C1 level of English) student based on the concept of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Through a qualitative case study, the data on the text organization, language features, Theme system, and Theme progression of the text were obtained through systematic identification, calculation, and analysis. The findings show that the text fulfilled the text organization and language features of a recount text. Moreover, the types of Themes with the most occurrence were unmarked topical Themes (51,2%), followed by topical textual Themes (40%), marked topical Themes (8%), and interpersonal Themes (0,8%). Based on the Theme system, Theme reiteration occurred most frequently (88.20%), while the Zigzag Themes only represented 11,80% of the total. The dominant use of unmarked Themes demonstrates the writer’s skill in keeping the focus of the readers on the central topic of the text, while the huge number of textual Themes is the implication of the student to maintain the text’s cohesion and coherence.

Abstract

Multi-word expressions referred to as lexical bundles are the important ‘discourse building blocks’ to construct and signal fluent writing, particularly in an attempt to produce high-quality research articles that can be accepted by reputable journals. A number of studies have reported the use of lexical bundles in various sections of research articles, including introductions as the holder of research rationale. In spite of that, attention is barely paid to the comparison between accepted and rejected manuscripts. With the intention to fill this gap, this study is aimed at investigating whether the manifestation of lexical bundles will differ between the introduction sections of accepted and rejected research articles in applied linguistics. A total of 15 introductions for each data group were analyzed under the frameworks of lexical bundles structures (Biber et al., 2004) and functions (Hyland, 2008). Findings reveal that noun phrase-based and research-oriented bundles were respectively detected as the most prevalent main structure and function in both accepted and rejected data sets. Closer inspection, however, evinced a greater frequency and richer variety of lexical bundles in accepted introductions. Even so, this study confirmed that the two datasets exhibit different subcategories of lexical bundles in numerous cases. Implicationally, the findings of this study may shed further light on the comprehension of lexical bundles use in preparing related future studies.

Abstract

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji implementasi ekspresi formulaik dalam kelas Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL) di SMA Islam YASPIA. Studi ini berfokus pada penilaian keefektifan penggunaan pendekatan leksikal, khususnya melalui instruksi Ms. Lavender, seorang guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah tersebut. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa penerapan pendekatan leksikal dalam mengajar ekspresi formulaik relatif tidak rumit bagi guru. Para siswa di kelas menggunakan kelima jenis ekspresi formulaik, dengan frekuensi yang lebih tinggi diamati dalam penggunaan kumpulan leksikal dan kolokasi. Namun, meskipun penggunaan ekspresi formula yang tepat, para siswa menghadapi tantangan dalam menggunakannya selama komunikasi. Kesulitan-kesulitan ini termasuk konstruksi yang menyimpang, penggunaan yang kurang, kesalahan tata bahasa, dan penggunaan ekspresi rumus yang tidak tepat, dengan kesalahan tata bahasa menjadi masalah yang paling umum. Temuan ini sejalan dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menunjukkan bahwa siswa EFL menghadapi kesulitan saat menggunakan ekspresi formula dalam komunikasi mereka. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap bidang pendidikan EFL di Indonesia, khususnya dalam pengajaran ekspresi formula. Diharapkan temuan ini akan meningkatkan pemahaman penerapan pendekatan leksikal dalam pengajaran ekspresi formulaik dan menawarkan rekomendasi kepada guru bahasa Inggris untuk membantu siswa dalam mengatasi tantangan yang terkait dengan penggunaan ekspresi formulaik dalam komunikasi mereka.

Abstract

Since the Kurikulum Merdeka was implemented to respond to the learning loss students experienced during the Covid-19 pandemic, student-centered learning assessment (SCLA) has become a significant part of current Indonesian senior high school educational initiatives. However, previous research found that teachers need more understanding of the concept of SCLA. Thus, this study explores vocational high school EFL teacher's understanding of SCLA in implementing problem-based learning in the Kurikulum Merdeka aligned with the theory from Jonassen (2000). This qualitative case study employed an interview as the main instrument to discover an understanding from one teacher. Based on the data analysis through thematic analysis, the findings revealed that the teacher had a fair understanding of the student-centered learning assessment's concepts, advantages, and obstacles. Nevertheless, the teacher still needed to learn more about SCLA. Although not all of the research findings were relevant to the previous study and the theory, the teacher reasonably implemented the student-centered learning assessment while improving the future teaching- learning process, particularly the assessment system. Moreover, there is an expectation for the school, principals, and other stakeholders to pay attention to providing teachers with training regarding student-centered learning assessment. In addition, teachers are expected to be willing to stay up-to-date with the change of curriculum, including the shift in the assessment form, teachers' role, and learning to understand the current curriculum and the learning methods.

Abstract

Arsitektur Keraton Kasepuhan Cirebon merupakan bangunan yang memiliki nilai-nilai kearifan lokal karena dalam pemilihan dan penggunaan materialnya mencerminkan sifat berkelanjutan yang selaras dengan alam. Oleh karena itu, bangunan tersebut dianggap sebagai bangunan yang mencerminkan konsep green architecture sesuai dengan tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Namun, ada kekhawatiran bahwa pengetahuan yang menjadi kearifan lokal dalam bangunan tersebut akan tergerus oleh pengaruh globalisasi dan modernisasi, hal tersebut tentunya akan sangat berdampak pada terkikisnya perbendaharaan leksikon dan pengetahuan masyarakat akan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal dalam bangunan keraton. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap nilai kearifan lokal dan konsep green architecture yang terekam dalam leksikon etnoarsitektur Keraton Kasepuhan dengan menggunakan pendekatan teoritis berupa studi etnolinguistik yang mengkaji bahasa dan budaya sebagai suatu kesatuan yang utuh. Data bahasa berupa leksikon bersumber dari kegiatan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi yang kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan bentuk lingualnya. Selanjutnya, data tersebut dikaitkan dengan konsep arsitektur hijau yang menjadi tujuan dari pembangunan berkelanjutan atau Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serta nilai kearifan lokal yang terkandung di dalamnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ditemukan sejumlah leksikon yang berkaitan dengan arsitektur untuk menyatakan jenis bangunan, bagian-bagian bangunan, alat dan bahan bangunan, proses pembuatan, perawatan bangunan, dan jenis ornamen. Leksikon tersebut mengandung nilai kearifan lokal yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat Cirebon dan mencerminkan konsep green architecture karena telah memenuhi prinsip-prinsip arsitektur hijau berupa conserving energi, working with climate, respect for site, respect for use, limitting new resources, dan holistic. Penerapan prinsip tersebut menunjukkan bahwa dalam pelaksanaannya, arsitektur Keraton Kasepuhan sudah mendukung arsitektur yang berkelanjutan sesuai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan.
