This study examines how cohesive devices function within the components of Toulmin’s Model of Argumentation in EFL undergraduate students’ argumentative essays. Despite extensive research on cohesion in academic writing, few studies have explicitly explored the functional relationship between cohesive choices and argumentative structure, particularly in the Indonesian EFL undergraduate context. Employing a qualitative discourse analysis design, the study analyzed five argumentative essays produced by students enrolled in a Factual and Critical Writing course at a public university in Indonesia. Drawing on Halliday and & Hasan’s (1976) cohesion framework and Toulmin’s (1958) argumentation model as complementary analytical lenses, the analysisi identified and classified cohesive devices before mapping their rhetorical functions onto each argument component. The findings reveal three principal patterns. First, conjunction and reference were the most dominant cohesion categories, while substitution and ellipsis were entirely absent. Second, adversative conjunctions most consistently supported the claim and rebuttal components, whereas lexical cohesion – when realized through collocation and synonymy – most effectively reinforced data and warrant construction. Third, the backing component was absent from all five essays, and rebuttal moves were uniformly incomplete across the corpus. These findings demonstrate that cohesive density does not automatically produce argumentative strength, as the rhetorical effectiveness of cohesive devices depends on their functional appropriateness, referential precision, and the propositional richness of the content they connect. The study concludes with pedagogical recommendations for integrating function-focused cohesion instruction with Toulmin-based argumentative scaffolding in EFL writing courses.

The English tenses present a significant grammatical challenge for Indonesian EFL learners due to the structural contrast between English and Bahasa Indonesia, which does not mark temporal distinctions through verb inflection. While conventional grammar instruction often relies on form-focused repetition, such approaches fail to build deep conceptual understanding necessary for authentic communication. This study investigates how translanguaging practices in peer-only group discussions support Indonesian undergraduate students in understanding English tense structures. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, this study examines a recorded peer group discussion among four fourth-semester students enrolled in an English Education program at a university in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's (2006) framework. Three themes were identified: translanguaging as scaffolding, negotiation of meaning, and benefits and challenges of peer translanguaging. The findings reveal that students spontaneously drew on Bahasa Indonesia to clarify, explain, and illustrate English tense concepts for peers, functioning as mutual scaffolding within Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development. Translanguaging also served as a meaning negotiation tool, with varied outcomes depending on the conceptual accuracy of group members. Additionally, translanguaging fulfilled socio-emotional functions, fostering group cohesion and interpersonal care. However, a key challenge emerged: peer-only translanguaging cannot resolve false cognate errors when all members share the same L1 interference and no more capable interlocutor is present. These findings contribute empirical evidence of spontaneous peer translanguaging in grammar learning and suggest that English Education programs should recognize translanguaging as a legitimate and effective peer learning strategy, supported by teacher monitoring.

This study examines how Attitude, as part of the Appraisal framework proposed by Martin and White (2005), is realized in Taylor Swift’s 2022 commencement speech at New York University. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this research explores how the speaker uses evaluative language to construct interpersonal meaning and engage the audience. The focus is on the three sub-types of Attitude that are Affect, Judgment, and Appreciation, which correspond to expressions of emotion, evaluations of behavior, and assessments of phenomena, respectively. A total of 266 clauses from the speech were analyzed, with 172 identified as containing Attitude expressions. The findings show that positive Attitude overwhelmingly dominates the speech, especially through Affect, reflecting Swift’s strategy to foster empathy, motivation, and solidarity. Judgment is often used to present personal growth and moral insight, while Appreciation is employed to frame life experiences as meaningful. This study contributes to discourse analysis by highlighting how a non-traditional speaker like Taylor Swift constructs educational meaning through personal storytelling. It also demonstrates how celebrity speeches can fulfill the interpersonal and inspirational goals of academic ceremonies, offering a valuable case for Appraisal-based analysis in popular and educational discourse.
