Abstract

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji implementasi ekspresi formulaik dalam kelas Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL) di SMA Islam YASPIA. Studi ini berfokus pada penilaian keefektifan penggunaan pendekatan leksikal, khususnya melalui instruksi Ms. Lavender, seorang guru bahasa Inggris di sekolah tersebut. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa penerapan pendekatan leksikal dalam mengajar ekspresi formulaik relatif tidak rumit bagi guru. Para siswa di kelas menggunakan kelima jenis ekspresi formulaik, dengan frekuensi yang lebih tinggi diamati dalam penggunaan kumpulan leksikal dan kolokasi. Namun, meskipun penggunaan ekspresi formula yang tepat, para siswa menghadapi tantangan dalam menggunakannya selama komunikasi. Kesulitan-kesulitan ini termasuk konstruksi yang menyimpang, penggunaan yang kurang, kesalahan tata bahasa, dan penggunaan ekspresi rumus yang tidak tepat, dengan kesalahan tata bahasa menjadi masalah yang paling umum. Temuan ini sejalan dengan penelitian sebelumnya yang menunjukkan bahwa siswa EFL menghadapi kesulitan saat menggunakan ekspresi formula dalam komunikasi mereka. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap bidang pendidikan EFL di Indonesia, khususnya dalam pengajaran ekspresi formula. Diharapkan temuan ini akan meningkatkan pemahaman penerapan pendekatan leksikal dalam pengajaran ekspresi formulaik dan menawarkan rekomendasi kepada guru bahasa Inggris untuk membantu siswa dalam mengatasi tantangan yang terkait dengan penggunaan ekspresi formulaik dalam komunikasi mereka.

Abstract

Medical terminology, previously reserved for professionals, has become increasingly prevalent in everyday discourse, particulary following the COVID-19 pandemic. The emergence of these terms is not spontaneous; rather, they are meticulously crafted by experts within their respective fields. This research examines the formation of Indonesian medical terms, with a specific focus on affixation. The purpose of this research is to find out the affixation process used in Indonesian medical terms. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with the data source of medical terms found on the Halodoc platform. The choice of Halodoc is aligned with the rising popularity of health applications during the pandemic. The result shows that from 1492 medical terms data, 202 words (13.5%) are formed through affixation process. There are foreign language affixation processes (prefixes and suffixes) and Indonesian language affixation processes (prefixes, suffixes, confixes). Foreign language affixation shapes the term to be more complex, while the use of Indonesian affixation only changes the word class. The results of this study are also expected to represent the characteristics of the Indonesian language in forming words, especially medical terms.

Abstract

Publishing scientific papers, particularly research articles (RAs), has become a requirement and essential component for academics’ life. As a result, there is a growing need for academics to produce research articles for international publications. However, many writers, especially novice and inexperienced ones, still struggle to achieve this goal because they fail to adhere to the accepted conventions. This study attempts to look into the rhetorical moves in full-length English RAs written by reputable Indonesian lecturers from the hard and soft sciences disciplines in the early stage of their careers. This study employed a modified framework of analysis proposed by Maswana et al. in 2015. The findings showed that, in general, the papers’ rhetorical structures from abstract to conclusion were quite comparable, reflecting the universal writing rules of a research paper. However, the striking difference lies in the method section, specifically the absence of Move 5 in all soft sciences articles. This may be due to disciplinary conventions. The findings of the study may offer insightful instructional material that can assist students or researchers in honing their academic writing abilities.Keywords: early-career; full-length English RAs; hard sciences; move analysis; rhetorical structure; soft sciences.

Abstract

Producing quality research articles requires researchers to have a comprehensive understanding of move analysis, a structural approach that uses moves and steps to effectively present arguments and findings. Despite extensive research on move analysis structures, there remains a gap in frameworks addressing the move-step structures across all sections of highly cited research articles, particularly in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). This study seeks to fill this gap by analyzing the structural patterns of move-step sequences in ELT research articles, providing a practical framework for novice researchers. Employing a multi-framework approach, Hyland's (2000) model was used for Abstracts, Swales' (2004) for Introductions, Cotos' (2017) for Methods, and Moreno and Swales' (2018) for Results and Discussion sections. A corpus of 30 highly cited ELT research articles indexed in Scopus was analyzed. The findings reveal that specific moves, such as presenting background, reporting the research method and results are consistent across Abstracts, and topic generalization, indicating a gap, and announcing present research across Introductions. Similarly, the Method sections exhibit two dominant moves: contextualizing study methods and describing the study, while the Results and Discussion sections highlight four key moves, including reporting background information, presenting and highlighting results, and interpreting and explaining results. This research underscores the importance of recognizing conventional and optional moves in crafting high-quality articles. The proposed framework is expected to serve as a comprehensive guide for novice researchers in producing impactful and well-structured ELT research articles, contributing to the field's scholarly discourse.Keywords: ELT research article; move analysis; research framework

Abstract

This study aims to explore the acquisition of English morphemes which is the second language used by children through their interaction in online games. English morphemes, which have different structures from Indonesian morphemes, are analyzed based on their types, especially on root, affixation, stem and base. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis. The research sample consists of children aged 7 to 12 years old who have experience playing online games. Observations were made to identify the use of relevant English morphemes. The results show that children can understand and use roots both as content words and function words. However, not all lexical morphemes are found in children's speech, nor are bound roots as part of morphemes. The types of affixes used by children in playing online games are affixes at the beginning and end. There is no use of infixes. Root, stem and base which are word building elements have been used by children in the context of online games.

Abstract

It is believed that traditional grammar is no longer appropriate to teach students especially in developing their writing skill. Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) which focuses on meaning and function behind language is now seen to be well-implemented. The study tried to analyse student’s piece of writing on one type of text in which Hotel Industry students as the sample of the study should master known as recount text. Purposive type of sampling was chosen since there was only one text analysed which was seen as the most problematic one. Content analysis as the implementation of qualitative research was chosen as the design of the study. The findings showed that the major problem student encountered mostly on grammatical structures in which there were found some errors on it. Regarding the three metafunctions, it was known that the students had been able to accomplish all criteria of recount text, such as using mostly material processes which deals with ideational metafunction, using correct tense and subject to fulfil the mood exists in interpersonal metafunction, and using reiteration and zigzag pattern as representation of textual metafunction. However, since there was problem to overcome, a strategy was proposed known as “POWER” which stands for Plan, Organise, Write, Edit, and Revise, which is hoped to help students developed a well-constructed text fulfilling all sine qua non attributes that recount text has.

Abstract

As a demand of English learning, eighth grade students need to be able to write a recount text about their personal experiences. For this reason, this study employs a qualitative case study research design to analyse students’ writing of recount text. The data were obtained by collecting students’ writing in two different classes of eight grade junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia during the even semester of academic year 2016/2017. The self-composed recount texts were selected based on different proficiency levels as suggested by the English teacher of the school. For the framework of the text analysis, this study draws on Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, and recount text. Meanwhile, content analysis was employed to explore the analysis of the writing. The results presented that majority of problems on the students’ writings consist of social function and language feature. In terms of language features, there were still several errors in spelling, punctuation and capitalization. In term of Interpersonal metafunction, errors usually occurred in the Finite as there was an overlap of past tense and present tense. As a result, it was found that most of the clauses were written in material process and it still lack of reference in the theme-rheme structure.

Abstract

The role of an appropriate writing of an abstract becomes significantly important as it acts not only as the representative of the whole content of the paper, but also helps journal reviewers to decide whether the article is deemed worthy to be published. While myriad research on rhetorical move analysis of research article abstracts has been conducted, an inadequate amount of them has probed onto rejected research article abstracts, specifically using a cross-disciplinary lens. This study aims to uncover the rhetorical organization and linguistic features of science and sngineering abstracts by utilizing Hyland’s (2000) rhetorical structure. The method of this research is used as the nature of this research rooted from discourse analysis. A total of eighteen rejected abstracts were retrieved from Indonesian Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST). The findings revealed that all of Hyland’s moves were found in both dataset where the move occurrences were identical to one another. However, significant differences existed in step occurrences, particularly in Step 4 of Move 1, Step 1*, 1, and 2 of Move 3, and Step 1 and 2 of Move 5. Engineering studies considered Introduction, Purpose, and Method as obligatory moves, while science studies viewed Purpose as a conventional move of the three. Pattern-wise, science applied two configurations, while engineering used three. Regarding the linguistic features, present tense and active voice were dominant across the disciplines. Furthemore, it was observed that the conventionality of abstract writing had not been properly performed in the rejected abstracts. This research is hoped to provide an insightful source on rejected research article abstracts to future researchers.

Abstract

The effective expression of arguments in academic writing is largely shaped by rhetorical strategies, particularly hedges and boosters, which aid in managing certainty and engagement. This study employs a qualitative design with a corpus-based approach, utilizing 144 abstracts from bachelor's theses, master's theses, and doctoral dissertations in Indonesian language education. The abstracts were extracted, converted to text format, and organized into three corpora based on academic level. Using AntConc 4.1.4, softening and strengthening words were identified based on Hyland's (2005) grammatical classification and Hyland's (1998) pragmatic framework. The analysis included the identification of lexical words, calculation of their frequency, and interpretation of their use at various academic levels. To ensure validity, selected examples were analyzed qualitatively to reveal patterns of metadiscursive strategy use by students when presenting scientific claims. The findings indicate undergraduate and master's students primarily use hedges, particularly modal verbs like "can", "could", and "may" to express cautious claims, while doctoral students more frequently use boosters, especially lexical verbs such as "prove", "show", and "assert", reflecting greater assertiveness and confidence. Pragmatic analysis reveals that both hedges and boosters serve mainly accuracy- and writer-oriented functions, with limited reader-oriented use. These results suggest a rhetorical shift from cautious to assertive claims in line with academic maturity. The study highlights fostering students’ awareness of rhetorical strategies for effective scientific communication.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how lexical choices and cultural narratives contribute to the construction of identity in the informal speech of adolescents in Sukabumi. Specifically, it seeks to analyze the ways in which adolescents express local identity, social belonging, and cultural values through their everyday linguistic practices. Using a linguistic ethnographic approach, the research draws on Sociolinguistic Variation Theory (Labov, 1972; Eckert, 2012) and Linguistic Ethnography (Rampton et al., 2015) to explore how variations in language use reflect broader social and cultural dynamics within the community. The research explores how adolescents negotiate between local traditions and global influences in everyday language practices. The study employed a linguistic ethnographic method combining participant observation, recorded natural conversations, and in-depth interviews with adolescents in Sukabumi City and Regency, West Java. This approach enabled an in-context exploration of how language use, cultural narratives, and identity construction emerge in the participants’ everyday interactions. The findings reveal that adolescents’ lexical repertoire consists of four dominant categories: popular youth vocabulary, agrarian and familial lexicon, global borrowings, and emotional-aesthetic terms. These categories demonstrate the dual functions of language as both a communicative tool and a marker of identity and solidarity. Cultural stories emerging from adolescents’ speech reflect kinship ties, agricultural traditions, religious practices, aesthetic self-care, and digital globalization, illustrating the hybridization of local and global values. Furthermore, the grammatical structures of adolescent speech—dominated by simple declaratives, imperatives, ellipsis, and code-mixing—indicate strategies tailored for digital communication and identity projection. Overall, this study concludes that Sukabumi adolescents’ informal speech embodies a process of cultural negotiation and glocalization, wherein traditional values are preserved yet reinterpreted within the framework of modern youth culture. The research contributes theoretically to the study of language, identity, and culture, while providing practical insights for educators, linguists, and policymakers in understanding the sociocultural dynamics of adolescent language use in contemporary Indonesia.
