Abstract

While many studies have explored the enhancement of critical thinking skills through inquiry and guided inquiry learning models, there is no research specifically examining the impact of the guided inquiry learning model on both critical thinking and writing achievement in the EFL context. This study aimed to examine the potential of the Guided Inquiry Learning model to enhance critical thinking skills and English writing achievement. This study was quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest control group design. A cluster random sampling technique was used to get two groups of samples. One experimental group was taught by guided inquiry learning, and one control group was taught without guided inquiry learning. The data were collected through six-item essay tests to measure students' critical thinking skills and writing tests to measure students' writing achievement. Those data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The prerequisite test of normality and homogeneity preceded the analysis of the t-test. The results of data analysis showed: 1) there is an increased score for students' critical thinking skills and writing achievement in each group, and 2) there is a significant difference in students' critical thinking skills (with sig. value of 0.000) and students' writing achievement (with sig. value of 0.005) after the implementation of guided inquiry learning model. The findings of this research highlight the significance of incorporating the GIL model into EFL instruction to equip students' writing achievement and critical thinking skills.

Abstrak: Implementasi Artificial Intelligence (AI) dalam pengembangan keterampilan menulis akademik menawarkan potensi signifikan untuk meningkatkan efisiensi dan kualitas tulisan. Kegiatan pengabdian bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dosen dalam mengoptimalkan peran AI dalam menulis akademik. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di salah satu universitas negeri yang baru di Kota Lubuk Linggau. Partisipan dalam kegiatan ini adalah dosen sebanyak 50 orang. Pelaksnaan kegiatan dibagi menjadi 3 tahap yaitu (1) sosialisasi; (2) praktik dan pendampingan; serta (3) evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat memberikan manfaat kepada kelompok sasaran berupa meningkatnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan peserta dalam mengoperasikan ChatGPT untuk menunjang kegiatan menulis akademik. Hal tersebut ditunjukkan oleh hasil evaluasi yang dilakukan bahwa sebelum kegiatan sosialisasi dilakukan hanya 36% peserta yang mengenal ChatGPT dan 50% yang mengetahui peranannya dalam menulis akademik, dengan hanya 30% yang memahami cara mengoperasikannya. Namun, setelah kegiatan sosialisasi dan praktik, seluruh peserta (100%) memahami peranan ChatGPT dalam penulisan akademik, dan 84% mampu mengoperasikannya.Abstract: The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the development of academic writing skills offers significant potential to improve the efficiency and quality of writing. Community service activities aim to improve lecturers' abilities in optimizing the role of AI in academic writing. This Community Service activity was carried out at one of the new state universities in Lubuk Linggau City. Participants in this activity were 50 lecturers. The implementation of the activity was divided into 3 stages, namely (1) socialization; (2) practice and mentoring; and (3) evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The evaluation results showed that community service activities provided benefits to the target group in the form of increased knowledge and skills of participants in operating ChatGPT to support academic writing activities. This was shown by the results of the evaluation that before the socialization activity was carried out, only 36% of participants knew ChatGPT and 50% knew its role in academic writing, with only 30% understanding how to operate it. However, after the socialization and practice activities, all participants (100%) understood the role of ChatGPT in academic writing, and 84% were able to operate it.

Abstract

Writing a research article for a reputable journal is not easy especially for new authors or postgraduate students in social sciences and humanities including language related fields but they can write and publish a book review paper (henceforth BRP) in a high impact journal to practice writing in English at an advanced level. This study is aimed at analyzing the discourse structure and argument style of BRPs in language related fields published in high impact journals. Sixty BRPs were chosen from six different journals published in several countries analyzed in this research. The four move BRP discourse pattern model as suggested by Bezerra (2001) was used in this study. The results show that, in terms of the appearance of moves: Move 1 or introducing the book and Move 4 or addressing a final idea about the book are categorized as conventional while Move 2 or outlining the book content and Move 3 or examining the book are obligatory. However, only one step (Move 2-Step B or highlighting the topic of the book) out of 16 steps in all moves is obligatory; 7 steps are classified as conventional and the other 8 are optional. In other words, in each move, there is at least one obligatory or conventional step. This implies that only a half or 50% of the steps are obligatory or conventional while the other half are optional. The optional steps are possibly used by the BRP authors to provide additional important information about the book being reviewed to attract readers to read and/or own the book.
