Abstract

In academic writing such as a thesis proposal, a learner should consider several variables. Not only does a learner consider the language uses such as choice of words and syntactic forms at the sentence level, but beyond the sentence, a learner should also pay attention to the organization and unity of all the ideas and information into cohesive and coherent paragraphs. However, many students encounter great difficulties in writing their proposals especially the introduction part which deals with the organization of paragraphs. For this reason, the writer analyzed the undergraduate students’ competence in thesis proposal writings. The organization of the ideas and information becomes a necessary part of writing thesis proposal because of it into cohesive and coherent paragraphs. However, many students often get difficulties, especially in the introduction part. This article is the study of the proposal writings which covers the organization, the unity and coherence of paragraphs, and the syntactic form and word choice. The subjects of this research were the students of the English Language Education Program at a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia who were writing their theses as their final project. All data sources were from the undergraduate students' initial thesis writings especially the Introduction part proposed by the students. The samples of data were taken according to the proportional sampling referring to the research fields in which the students were interested: English Language Teaching 50%, Linguistics 30%, and Literature 20%.  The result of the analysis shows that: (a) Mostly the students’ proposals addressed well organization though using somewhat developed explanations, exemplifications, or details; (b) They also displayed unity and coherence, though the connection of ideas was occasionally obscured; Considering the organization, unity and coherence are the most appropriate variety for the undergraduate students’ writing; therefore, the study suggests that more exposure to the standard guidance or rubric of thesis writing will be helpful.

Abstract

Writing thesis proposal requires several competences. At the sentence level, it includes the control of word choice or diction and syntactic form. Beyond the sentence, it deals with the organization of the ideas and information into cohesive and coherent paragraphs. In practice, many students encounter difficulties in writing proposals especially the introduction section. The focus of this study was in the discourse analysis type, concerning the thesis writing which covered the organization, the unity, and coherence of paragraphs, and the syntactic form. Subjects of this research were students of a private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia who were writing their theses as their final project. All data sources were from the undergraduate students' initial thesis writings especially the Introduction section proposed by the students from the three fields of study: English Language Teaching, Linguistics, and Literature. Findings show that: (a) Mostly the students’ proposals addressed well organization though using somewhat developed explanations, exemplifications, or details; (b)  They also displayed unity and coherence, though the connection of ideas was occasionally obscured; (c) The student’ proposals also  demonstrated inconsistent competence in syntactic structure and word choice; (d) Mostly, the student’ proposals accomplished the score level 3 for their academic writings because they did not fully meet some points of academic writing criteria. Considering the organization, unity and coherence are the most appropriate variety for the undergraduate students’ writings, the study suggests that students should be exposed to a more standard guidance or rubric of thesis writing

Abstract

The objectives of this research are 1) to describe the frequencies of rhetorical modes of apologies in academic texts written by EFL university students, and 2) to find out problems that they face when constructing rhetorical modes of apologies through exposition, narration, description and argumentation genres of writing. Using documents and interviews, this qualitative research mainly deals with the purposive sampling technique, data reduction, and display concerning rhetorical modes of apologies and problems on constructing them. The research results show that the interpretation of students' rhetorical expressions is meta-pragmatic based on interactions, linguistic nuances, and rhetorical meanings. Rhetorical modes of apologies influence the language production, contextual expressions, and dissemination of messages to audiences or readers. The language used in the rhetorical modes of apologies is integrally connected to one's identity, personality, and situation. Therefore, several efforts are made to see how linguistic differences in a series of interactions lead to denials, avoidance of responsibility, reduction of offensiveness, corrective action, and mortification. The interview results outline that rhetorical modes of apologies function as an integral part of interests, utilities, and moral values instead of some problems the students faced while writing the academic texts.
