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.

Abstract

AbstractThis research examines cultural reproduction strategies for maintaining local languages in elementary schools in Indonesia. The academic struggle for local language maintenance programs needs to be refined with alternative thinking and solutions. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach and a library research and outlines various findings regarding local language maintenance programs in elementary schools. Maintaining local languages in the management of elementary schools in Indonesia can be done through Pierre Bourdieu’s cultural reproduction strategies through programs orientated towards strengthening aspects of 1) Habitus, which focuses on externalizing awareness of the importance of preserving local languages; 2) capital, which focuses on resources and supporting capacity for local language preservation; and 3) arena, which focuses on educational and learning activities. The design of strengthening local language preservation through habitus is carried out in several steps: 1) applying linguistic knowledge; 2) promoting language loyalty, pride, and awareness of norms; 3) engaging in literature on language preservation and authenticity; and 4) fostering a positive language attitude. Meanwhile, the capital strengthening program through resources and carrying capacity is carried out: 1) the implementation of the Indonesian Language Policy; 2) the promotion of family, neighborhood, and religious values; 3) linguistic diversity. The strengthening program implemented through the arena includes: 1) strategies that include formal learning, extracurricular activities, and mandatory activities; and 2) technology, documentation, and revitalization.Keywords: habitus, capital, arena, cultural reproduction.AbstrakPenelitian ini mengkaji strategi reproduksi budaya dalam pemertahanan bahasa daerah pada sekolah dasar di Indonesia. Perjuangan akademik terhadap program pemertahanan bahasa daerah perlu disempurnakan dengan pemikiran dan solusi alternatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan telaah pustaka untuk menguraikan berbagai temuan mengenai program pemertahanan bahasa daerah di sekolah dasar. Pemertahanan bahasa daerah dalam pengelolaan sekolah dasar di Indonesia dapat dilakukan melalui strategi reproduksi budaya Pierre Bourdieu melalui program yang berorientasi pada penguatan aspek 1) habitus, yang fokus pada eksternalisasi kesadaran akan pentingnya pelestarian bahasa daerah; 2) kapital, yang fokus pada sumber daya dan daya dukung pelestarian bahasa daerah; dan 3) arena, yang fokus pada kegiatan pendidikan dan pembelajaran. Rancangan penguatan pelestarian bahasa daerah melalui habitus dilakukan dengan beberapa langkah: 1) penerapan pengetahuan linguistik; 2) mempromosikan kesetiaan berbahasa, kebanggaan, dan kesadaran terhadap norma; 3) menggeluti kepustakaan tentang pelestarian dan keaslian bahasa; dan 4) menumbuhkan sikap berbahasa yang positif. Sedangkan program penguatan kapital melalui sumber daya dan daya dukung dilakukan: 1) kebijakan Bahasa Indonesia; 2) keluarga, lingkungan sekitar, dan agama; 3) keberagaman bahasa. Program penguatan melalui arena tersebut adalah: 1) strategi meliputi pembelajaran formal, ekstrakurikuler, dan wajib; 2) teknologi, dokumentasi dan revitalisasi.Kata kunci: habitus, kapital, arena, reproduksi budaya.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate rhetorical strategies for employing interactive meta-discourse aspects in the introductions of highly cited Scopus-indexed research publications from two separate academic fields: applied linguistics and electrical engineering. The study analyzed thirty Scopus-indexed journal articles from each of the two fields. To achieve the research purpose, the researchers employ a descriptive quantitative design with comparative corpus analysis. This research used Hyland's (2005) taxonomy, which consists of five subtypes of interactive metadiscourse: transition markers, frame markers, endophoric markers, evidentials, and code glosses, as the theoretical analysis. The findings indicate that both disciplines employ these features to establish coherence and cohesion; notable disparities arise in their distribution and rhetorical roles. Applied linguistics articles demonstrate a greater utilization of evidential and coding glosses, indicative of their narrative and intertextual focus. In contrast, articles on electrical engineering prominently utilize transition and endophoric markers, which signify a procedural and experimental methodology. This study illustrates the importance of genre awareness and epistemic tradition in academic writing instruction across several fields. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti strategi retoris dalam menggunakan meta-wacana interaktif pada bagian pendahuluan artikel jurnal yang terindeks Scopus yang bersitasi tinggi di bidang linguistik terapan dan teknik elektro. Studi ini menganalisis tiga puluh artikel jurnal terindeks Scopus dari setiap bidang. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian, peneliti menggunakan desain kuantitatif deskriptif dengan menganalisis korpus secara komparatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan taksonomi Hyland (2005), yang terdiri dari lima subtipe metawacana interaktif: pemarkah transisi, pemarkah bingkai, pemarkah endoforik, pembuktian, dan gloss kode, sebagai pisau analisis. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kedua disiplin ilmu tersebut menggunakan fitur ini untuk membangun koherensi dan kohesi secara bervariasi. Temuan perbedaan yang paling penting muncul dalam distribusi dan peran retoris mereka. Artikel linguistik terapan menunjukkan pemanfaatan yang lebih besar dari pemarkah pembuktian dan gloses kode, yang menunjukkan keduanya fokus terhadap naratif dan intertekstual mereka. Sementara itu, artikel teknik elektro secara mencolok menggunakan penanda transisi dan endoforik, yang menandakan metodologi prosedural dan eksperimental. Studi ini menggambarkan pentingnya kesadaran genre dan tradisi epistemik dalam pengajaran penulisan akademik di beberapa bidang.
