Abstract

Writing a thesis necessitates the presentation of a compelling and well-written argument. The thesis should situate research within the broader field of study and promote some contributions to the field. A student-writer needs to compose a thesis that reports and justifies the research conducted. This study explores how one undergraduate student-writer at an Indonesian university stages meanings to develop a thesis—as a macrogenre, with sound and engaging arguments by using available linguistic resources. It employs tools of text analyses offered by Systemic Functional Linguistics to examine primarily the interpersonal zone of the arguments. This zone is crucial for a writer to stage meanings to engage with others and others’ knowledge in the field of study, utilizing sound arguments as she takes her stances in the academic community. The analysis focused on two key textual features: the organization of meanings to accomplish the social function of the thesis and the utilization of evaluative language resources to engage with others in the literature. This study involved a single respondent, an undergraduate student-writer, as its focus. The analyses indicate that this novice writer employs various linguistic resources to structure her texts in intricate ways. While her argument at the macro-level (the thesis) is structured relatively similar to the typical thesis, significant differences emerge in her micro-level structure. This study revealed additional deviations in her use of linguistic resources for negotiating arguments at the sentence level (micro-level) and below level, including phrase and word levels.

Abstract

This paper's primary goal is to investigate perceptions of the implementation of a microteaching course using reflective teaching practice. Microteaching is a course that prepares student-teachers to become professional instructors. Reflective teaching techniques include self-reflection and reflections from teachers and peers, which lead to effective and complete evaluation. This study explores how Indonesian student-teachers perceive the implementation of microteaching and how they discover the reflection in the microteaching course. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with seven participants to gather in-depth insights into their experiences and perceptions regarding reelection in the microteaching course. The results showed that student-teachers were concerned about preparing before conducting microteaching, including searching for materials to construct a lesson plan, conducting teaching performance and evaluation, and perceiving positive arguments in the reflections given by the teacher and peers. Having strengths and weaknesses from the comments made student-teachers tend to improve their performance in the next practice. The results of this investigation have significant practical relevance for evaluating student-teachers’ teaching performance through reflection practice and for helping future teachers fulfil their requirement to be professional teachers.
