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.

Abstract

The research aims to improve students' essay writing skills by implementing the Process Writing Approach. Conducted as Classroom Action Research, the study involved 17 university students enrolled in a writing class. Data collection relied on writing tasks. Results indicate that with the development of appropriate procedural models, the Process Writing Approach effectively improved students' essay writing skills. Initially, before implementing the strategy, only 50 % of students achieved scores equal to or greater than C (56-70). Following Cycle I, this percentage increased to 70 %, though it fell short of the study's success criteria. Subsequently, in Cycle II, it rose to more than 80 %. This highlights the potential for improving essay writing skills, contingent upon adhering to the prescribed procedural models of the Process Writing Approach.

Abstract

In academic writing, hedging is a key rhetorical strategy that allows researchers to express caution and manage claims with appropriate nuance. This study investigates hedging practices in Applied Linguistics research articles written by Indonesian and Native English authors. Using a corpus of 20 articles (10 per group) totaling approximately 100,000 words, the analysis focuses on hedging density, distribution across Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections, and types of hedging devices used. Native English authors employ significantly more hedging devices (859 total) than Indonesian authors (365 total), especially modal and epistemic verbs. Both groups hedge most in the Introduction and Discussion sections, with statistically significant higher hedging densities among Native English writers in these parts, while the Methods section exhibits the least hedging for both. Indonesian authors favor approximators as hedging devices, indicating cultural preference for indirect lexical softening, contrasted with the more explicit grammatical hedging by Native English authors. These results highlight distinct cultural rhetorical preferences and suggest that academic writing pedagogy for Indonesian scholars should incorporate modal and epistemic verb strategies to better align with international norms.
