Abstract

Through the analysis of lexical density, students’ progress in language learning, especially in writing can be identified. This article aimed to find out lexical density of students’ writing and to explain how  lexical density shows their ability in writing an academic text. The data were taken from the introduction section of thesis proposals written by English graduate students, with the readers of higher education level. By statistical and descriptive analysis, the study reveals that the lexical density of students’ writing is categorized as less dense (51.19%). Grammatical complexity became the major factor that contributed to lexical density. It was revealed that the complexities emerged since students still have limited knowledge about the language use in writing an academic text. The fact shows that students’ ability in writing  academic text is still in average level. This implies that the ones who write the text should consider the high density for the academic text. It is recommended to provide the topic of lexical density in the subject of academic writing subject in the syllabus of English study program of higher education.

Abstract

This study aims at investigating what students expect when taking a Creative Writing course. To obtain the required data, an exploratory case study was utilized by distributing a questionnaire to the students and conducting interviews with the writing lecturer and the head of the study program. 60 students, one writing lecturer, and the head of the Indonesian Language Study Program were involved in this study. Findings in this study indicated that students expected to learn by having more practice in writing. Four emergent topics were discussed, namely building creativity and accuracy in writing, effective learning methods, available learning resources, and considering students' ability and interest in writing. They wished to write by following the writing process explained by the lecturer. This study concluded that it is required to design a learning model which facilitated students to learn in Creative Writing courses in a better way. The learning model is expected to provide students with the writing process and grammar.

Abstract

Effective educational leadership and a positive school climate are crucial determinants of teacher performance. This research aims to elucidate the contribution of principal leadership and school climate to the performance of state middle school teachers in Padang City. The population for this study comprised all state junior high school teachers in Padang City, totaling 1,058 individuals. A sample of 158 teachers was selected using cluster random sampling techniques. Employing a quantitative correlational approach with an ex-post facto research design, this study analyzed the collected data to determine the relationships between the variables. The results indicate that principal leadership contributes 22.3% to teacher performance, while school climate contributes 68%. Together, principal leadership and school climate account for 62.7% of the variance in teacher performance. The overall teacher performance score was 83.46%, categorized as good. Principal leadership scored 84.16%, also in the good category, and school climate scored 84.66%, deemed conducive. These findings underscore the significant impact of leadership and environmental factors within schools on enhancing teacher performance, suggesting that targeted improvements in these areas could substantially elevate educational outcomes.
