Abstract

This study investigates how formative assessment and student self-reflection contribute to improving secondary EFL learners’ performance in writing procedure texts. Although procedure text has a clear generic structure—goal, materials, and sequenced steps—previous studies show that students often struggle with organizing instructions, using accurate imperative verbs, and maintaining logical coherence. To explore how instructional practices can address these challenges, this research employed a descriptive qualitative design involving a Grade 9 class at SMP Islam Al-Ishlah Bukittinggi. Data were collected through classroom observations, document analysis of students’ writing work, and semi-structured interviews with both the teacher and students. The findings indicate that formative assessment, delivered through written comments, oral clarification, modeling, and peer-review, provided continuous guidance has helped students identify and revise structural and linguistic weaknesses in their texts. Meanwhile, self-reflection enabled learners to evaluate their work more critically, internalize teacher feedback, and plan revisions more purposefully. Evidence from the writing work shows improvement in sequencing, verb accuracy, clarity of instructions, and completeness of materials. The study concludes that integrating formative assessment with reflective practices creates a mutually reinforcing writing environment that enhances genre awareness, metacognitive engagement, and overall writing quality.

Abstract

This study examines structural shifts and information density in the translation of Complex Noun Phrases (CNPs) from Indonesian into English in Sinta 2-accredited bilingual journal abstracts. Grounded in Catford's (1965) framework of structural shift and Halliday's (1985) lexical density formula as a measurement instrument for information density, the study addresses three research questions: (1) how CNPs are structurally restructured in Indonesian-English translation; (2) what linguistic mechanisms characterize those structural shifts; and (3) how structural shifts relate to information density in translated CNPs. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, with data consisting of 110 CNPs extracted from fifteen purposively selected bilingual abstracts across five Sinta 2 ELT and linguistics journals published between 2021 and 2026. Findings reveal that structural shifts occurred consistently across all fifteen abstracts, with four predominant mechanisms: modifier-head reordering (43.6%), modification pattern change (26.4%), constituent expansion or reduction (17.3%), and grammatical relation transformation (12.7%). Information density effects were variable: some shifts increased density by compressing meaning into compact English premodifier stacks, others preserved informational equivalence, and a smaller number reduced density when nominalized source-language concepts were merged into more general target-language expressions. These findings reveal a tension in academic translation between grammatical naturalness and conceptual precision, contributing to translation studies by integrating structural and functional perspectives on Indonesian-English academic translation.
