Abstract

This study aims to examine the reliability and validity of items and persons using the Rasch model. The students' writing skills were assessed through four constructs elaborated into twenty-four items statements in the form of a rubric. The participants were 40 EFL learners who had taken an essay writing course in TOEFL iBT class whereas the writing samples were taken in collaboration with a language center wherein the TOEFL iBT class was held. The research method employed the Rasch model as a quantitative analysis approach by using three Ministep software outputs used for data analysis: the “statistical summary output” to obtain figures and data in general, item statistics to obtain item validity, and person statistics to acquire person validity. The four assessment constructs: content, structure, diction, and mechanic fulfill item fit measured by OUTPUT MNSQ dan OUTPUT ZSTD though mechanic constructs pass the item fit with a note. The person fit order identified by INFIT MNSQ shows seven students are misfits which need further assessment to find the source of a misfit.

Abstract

The study provides an empirical analysis on the use of cohesive devices in EFL asian journal written by non-native english researchers from asian countries. Data for the study were 20 journals collected from 4 asian efl journals. Halliday and Hassan seminal work of “Cohesion in English” provides a comprehensive taxonomy of cohesive devices and Dooley and Levinsohn monograf gives the thorough examples how to analyse cohesive devices in the text. Of 566 cohesive devices found in the samples, 204 (36%) were lexical cohesion and 174 (30.7%) were conjunctions which are relatively in balance of both usage in the journal. However, the use of repetition as a part of lexical cohesion dominates the whole lexical cohesion by 92% (189) which is interpreted as the overuse of cohesive device of this type.

Abstract

This study explores the rhetorical structure of Indonesian research article (RA) introductions by examining how they align with or diverge from Swales’ Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model, as interpreted through Loi’s contrastive rhetoric framework. Using a qualitative genre analysis of 30 RA introductions from SINTA tier 1-3 Indonesian journals in linguistics and education, published between 2022-2024, the research identifies the presence and realization of the three CARS moves. Findings show that while Move 1 (establishing a territory) and Move 3 (occupying the niche) appear in all texts, and Move 2 (establishing a niche) in most, their rhetorical realization diverges from conventional Anglophone patterns. Indonesian authors tend to expand Move 1 with philosophical or policy-based narratives, express Move 2 indirectly without explicit critique, and delay or repeat Move 3 in a recursive fashion. These patterns reveal dominant cultural-rhetorical strategies such as indirectness, collective voice, and contextual elaboration. The findings underscore the influence of local discourse traditions on academic writing and call for more culturally responsive genre models in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) pedagogy.
