Abstract

Students often consider writing a thesis project burdensome, resulting in longer completion of the degree. This article reports findings from a qualitative research exploring students' readiness to write bachelor theses. Questionnaires were distributed across different batches of students working on their thesis projects at an Islamic university in East Java. The respondents also participated in a focused discussion group to further explore their readiness. Data from 200 participants highlights that students generally have sufficient cognitive readiness regarding the areas and scopes of topics in ELT research. They have adequate to low academic readiness on aspects related to thesis writing as a form of academic writing. These students, however, have low social readiness. While the responses indicate that the students have high motivation to complete the thesis projects, more than half of the students reflected that they do not have a clear plan for the completion, are not very disciplined in working on their theses, have low reading interest and cannot manage their mood. The findings suggest that there is a gap between expectation and efforts. While they are cognitively ready, they are not socially ready. This implies that when supervising, the department and thesis supervisors need to touch upon psychological aspects of thesis writing intensively

Abstract

In the context of teaching English for Islamic studies, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is the prevalent approach. Students’ needs for their preparation toward their professional practice are central considerations in ESP. Understanding professional practices is, therefore, inevitable. Corpora of academic sources in the discipline can serve as a firm reference for English for Islamic studies. This study explored corpora of English article abstracts from the international journal of Islamic studies and from reference books on English for Islamic studies. The abstracts were collected from international journals in Islamic studies, while the books served as references at three universities in Indonesia. The corpora were analyzed using AntConc. The study further compares the existing corpora from the two sources and evaluates their conformity. The study examines the extent of conformity regarding the adequacy of reference books in preparing students for future professional discourse. The findings of this study are significant not only as a reflection on current practice in English for Islamic studies in the context of Indonesian ESP, but also as a foundation for further improving the course’s teaching to better cater to students’ needs.

Abstract

Self-efficacy is a critical component of academic article writing. Numerous studies have demonstrated that self-efficacy affects reading comprehension, but few have examined the level of self-efficacy between students and lecturers regarding academic writing. Consequently, this study sought to ascertain students' and lecturers' levels of self-efficacy in academic writing. By administering questionnaires and conducting interviews with students and teachers, this study takes an explanatory mixed-methods approach to the topic. The online survey assesses self-efficacy in academic writing, and students and lecturers complete unstructured interviews.
