Abstract

The insights from studies on self-identity construction in writing have encouraged linguistics scholars to continuously explore the presence of writers’ identity in writing. Nevertheless, due to arguments that question whether second language writers construct their identity in writing as well since they are still in tension between fulfilling the writing’s expectation and their English proficiency, a particular study that explores second language writing identity is needed. This study, therefore, was conducted to explore how second language writers construct their identity, particularly in academic writing. A dissertation written by an Indonesian doctoral candidate was chosen to be the main source of data. Adopting the work of Ivanic and Camps (2001), this study employed the three language functions proposed by Halliday, i.e., ideational function, interpersonal function, and textual function, as the analytical tools. Each function was broken down into specific features by which the texts were identified. Then, to sharpen the existence of writers’ identity in writing, the findings were identified to find the manifestation of the four aspects of identity proposed by Ivanic (1998). Based on the results of the analysis, this study found that writers’ identities are presented beyond the linguistic discourse employed in the writings. Then, regarding the manifestation of each function in the four aspects of writing identity, this study revealed that all aspects were manifested in the three language functions. It puts forward an argument that writing is the act of identity, and even a second language writer constructs her writing identity, including in an academic one. The study also found that even a second language writer establishes her own identity, which conforms to the common convention in academic writing.  Keywords: writing identity, second language writers, academic writing

Abstract

University reputation can be obtained through good communication with all stakeholders. One of the communication channels that can be used to convey information and communication is Instagram social media. Instagram is one of the options for universities in supporting good communication to build and strengthen the reputation of the institution. This study aims to analyse student preferences for Instagram communication channels in conveying information and strengthening institutional reputation. The research method used is descriptive quantitative method, which combines surveys through questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that Instagram is an effective communication channel to deliver information, increase student engagement, and provide a space to evaluate campus performance through feedback. The best performing content based on audience feedback is the promotion pillar, followed by the engagement pillar, and the education pillar. The college needs to maintain the quality of content and design, increase visual variety, and ensure the information is more relevant and meets the needs of the audience. The results of this study can serve as a basis for evaluating Instagram management at a university, and serve as a reference for future research.
