Abstract

Thematic structure is an important concept in organizing ideas in academic writing. Although numerous studies have focused on investigating how it is realized in students' writing, only a few focus on investigating thematic structure in students' text across different proficiency levels. This article is based on a study analyzing idea organization and development in 24 high and low-scoring essays through Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It was a qualitative content analysis with complementary quantitative data. The results show significant differences in how ideas are organized and developed in high and low-scoring essays. Even though all types of Themes (topical, interpersonal, textual Theme) were observed in both groups, the high-scoring essays elaborated more themes than the low ones indicating that the high-scoring essays comprised more clauses. As for Thematic Progression, all the patterns were present in the essays. The Linear Theme pattern was primarily applied in high-scoring essays, while the Constant Theme pattern was applied frequently in the low-scoring ones. The Split Rheme pattern was less observed in all the students' essays. These findings indicate that the high achievers provided more expounded ideas through linear theme patterns, whereas their counterparts tended to focus on a subject reflected through Theme reiteration. Thus, this implies that proficiency characterized writers in organizing and developing ideas in writing as reflected through thematic Choice and Progression.

Abstract

The present study was conducted to find out Indonesian English as a Second/Foreign Language (L2) learners' attitudes towards cheating (AtC) in online English classes, as well as the possible influence of the combination of three variables, which are their AtC, absenteeism, and gender, on their L2 achievement as measured with their final grades. The study employed a survey method and was conducted by distributing an online questionnaire. In total, 164 Indonesian learners from various non-English departments at a university in Java participated in the study. Through descriptive statistics, it was found that generally learners reported their negative AtC in English class, suggesting disapproval towards cheating. Through multiple regression analysis, the study further found that the combination of learners AtC, absenteeism, and gender significantly influenced their L2 achievement, and the overall model could predict 34.5% of the total variance in L2 achievement. However, based on the beta coefficient of the three variables, only learners absenteeism and gender significantly affected their L2 achievement. As learners had higher absenteeism, they obtained lower L2 achievement. From a t-test analysis, female learners were found to have significantly better L2 achievement than their male counterparts. While the findings on the influence of absenteeism on L2 achievement generally conformed to literature in the field, the findings on the influence of AtC and gender on L2 achievement may suggest that further explorations may be necessary.

Abstract

This research aimed to describe quantitatively the development of students’ syntactical complexity during the Essay Writing Course measured with the L2SCA tool by Lu. The research basically implemented a descriptive-quantitative research design. The primary data were collected from 20 students majoring in Agribusiness and taking an essay writing course in Yogyakarta Muhammadiyah University (UMY) during one semester from February to July 2022 in a researcher class. They wrote three essays gradually from one session to the third session of the class. The essays were analyzed quantitatively using the L2SCA tool by following the indices of the tools as the reference to see the students’ syntactical complexity. In addition, the participants wrote three essays divided into three times writing tests. Overall, the analysis method was conducted by following a systematic procedure; classifying, scoring, displaying, describing, interpreting, discussing, and concluding. As a result, this study reveals that syntactical development of students’ essays during a semester session of writing course fluctuated from the first writing until the third writing. Although along the writing supervision, they had consultation sessions, the result did not show gradual and constant progress. It implied that the students’ acquisition of syntactical complexity represented in writing did not improve progressively in all syntactical indices. However, among the three essays the participants wrote, they excel most in second essay or argumentative essay. Further, it is necessary to relate the essay’s genre to the result of students’ writing for each of the essays has a special characteristic and level of difficulty.
