Abstract

This study investigated the link between parents’ educational background and students’ English achievement at one senior high school in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. One hundred and eight senior high school students were involved in this study. Data were collected through a parents’ educational background questionnaire and an English test. Descriptive statistics, Pearson product moment correlation, and regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The results of the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient revealed that parents’ educational background significantly correlated with the students’ English achievement. Additionally, the results of the linear regression analysis indicated that there was a correlation between parents’ educational background and students’ English achievement. Although the contribution was small and there were other factors that contribute to the students’ academic achievement, parents’ educational background is important in supporting their children’s English achievement.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the plagiarism phenomenon in thesis proposal writing by EFL students of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang through their perceptions. The data of this qualitative case study were obtained through interviews with the research participants. They were selected based on the results of the Turnitin plagiarism checker for their thesis proposals. Thematic analysis was carried out to analyze the research data. We found that the students had similar perceptions of plagiarism, both in general and academic writing contexts, but they had various perceptions of the forms of plagiarism. Some of them were unaware of committing plagiarism in their thesis proposals. They were familiar with the term paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism, but they could not paraphrase the quotations properly in writing their proposals. Unawareness about plagiarism, lack of knowledge and practice for proper paraphrasing, getting stuck while writing, laziness in writing, and easiness of getting information from the internet were the main contributing factors why they committed plagiarism in their works.
