Abstract

Empirical studies revealed the EFL students’ writing problems, such as incomplete paragraph development and conjugation accuracy. These problems affected the overall text coherence.  These problems have inspired teacher researchers to investigate alternative instructional techniques to improve the flow of ideas and conjugation accuracy of EFL students' paragraphs. This current research aims to investigate mood and paragraph structure analysis effectiveness to develop the conjugation accuracy and flow of ideas fluency in EFL students' paragraphs. This study followed an experimental design utilizing control and experimental groups. The research subjects comprised 30 2nd-year undergraduate EFL learners who were at an intermediate level of English proficiency. Data for this research were collected using multiple methods, including tests, documentation, and interviews. The research results revealed that mood analysis and paragraph-structure analysis were effective techniques for improving the conjugation accuracy and idea flow fluency of EFL students' writing. Thus, it is recommended that mood and paragraph structure analyses be alternative techniques to teach paragraph writing.

Abstract

For academicians, publishing in international journals means engaging in a border-crossing activity, as they disseminate their research findings globally. People from various countries with different cultures and norms read research papers. However, academic writing is problematic for non-native English-speaking students (NNES), as prospective academics. This review paper aims to identify the challenges that NNES face in writing research article introductions (RAIs), including rhetorical structures, tense choice, tense shift, clausal and phrasal complexity, and the benefits of using translanguaging techniques in academic writing classes. Thematic analysis was employed in this library study. The research procedure involves selecting relevant research articles on the topic, reading each article, taking notes on the key findings, integrating and discussing the findings from the reviewed articles, and designing translanguaging techniques to teach academic writing to NNES. The article review reveals that NNES face challenges in writing complete rhetorical structures, particularly in tense choice and tense shift, because in academic writing, tense usage is not only governed by time but also by the rhetorical concept. It also reveals that translanguaging techniques facilitate the students’ awareness of the native language and target language academic writing rules and conventions. Translanguaging techniques enhance students’ analysis skills, critical reading, and critical thinking.
