Abstract

Abstracts are essential components of academic research articles, providing a concise summary of the study's purpose, methods, results, and conclusions. This qualitative evidence synthesis examines the quality, structure, and content of abstracts in the fields of English Language Teaching (ELT) and Literature. A systematic search of relevant databases identified 15 peer-reviewed articles published in English with a focus on abstract writing. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the studies for their research findings, methodologies, and recommendations related to abstract writing. The findings reveal that abstracts tend to be descriptive, with a focus on presenting the research problem, methodology, and main findings. However, there is a lack of consistency in structure and content across journals, and the quality of abstracts varies widely. Based on the analysis, several key recommendations for improving abstract writing in ELT and Literature journals are proposed, including greater consistency and standardization across journals, and improved training for authors and reviewers. This qualitative evidence synthesis offers a thorough overview of the body of knowledge on the subject of writing effective abstracts for ELT and literature journals and makes suggestions for further study and practice in this field. The study highlights the need for greater attention to abstract writing quality, structure, and content, and provides practical recommendations for improving the quality of abstracts in ELT and Literature research articles using thematic analysis as a data analysis technique.

Abstract

This study presents a meta-synthesis analysis of the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in composing academic writing (AW). A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify relevant studies on EFL learners' difficulties in AW, leading to the inclusion of 25 articles in the final analysis. The selected articles were systematically analyzed and synthesized to identify common themes and patterns related to the difficulties EFL learners face in AW. The findings revealed five major categories of challenges: including linguistic difficulties, organizational and coherence problems, cultural and sociocultural factors, feedback and revision, and motivation and self-efficacy. Based on the meta-synthesis, recommendations for teaching and learning practices are provided, as well as directions for future research in the area of EFL composition. By understanding the challenges faced by EFL learners in composition, educators can develop targeted interventions and support strategies to facilitate their students' progress and success in composing texts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges faced by Sundanese EFL learners in pronouncing labiodental consonant sounds, specifically /f/ and /v/, and to propose effective strategies for improvement. The study focuses on collecting data from Sundanese EFL learners at various levels of proficiency using interviews and pronunciation tests. The results indicate that learners face various challenges in pronouncing labiodental consonants, such as substituting similar sounds from their native language and struggling with unfamiliar sound combinations. The study proposes several strategies to overcome these challenges, including drilling exercises, practicing with audio recordings, and promoting learner autonomy.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of collaborative assessment on undergraduate students writing performance in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) courses in Indonesia. Collaborative assessment, which encompasses self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher assessment, enhances writing proficiency and critical thinking skills. This study exclusively incorporates the field dependence-independence (FDI) cognitive styles to explore how these learning styles interact with collaborative assessment strategies. The research used a quantitative method to involve 120 students from Universitas Pancasakti Tegal, divided into field-independent and field-dependent groups. Over 14 weeks, students participated in collaborative assessment activities within their writing courses. Pre- and post-tests, along with survey questionnaires, measured improvements in writing performance and student attitudes. Results indicated significant improvements in writing skills for both cognitive style groups, with field-independent students showing slightly higher gains. The study concludes that collaborative assessment effectively enhances writing performance and fosters positive learning attitudes, regardless of cognitive style, and recommends integrating this approach into EFL writing instruction. The findings imply that collaborative assessment is a valuable tool for accommodating diverse learning styles in EFL education.

Abstract

This study explores future-oriented curricular priorities for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by employing a three-round Delphi method involving 25 experts from academia and industry. In Round 1, participants identified 63 emerging themes across five domains: digital literacy integration, interdisciplinary ESP content, soft-skill infusion, task-based learning models, and adaptive assessment strategies. Round 2 consolidated and ranked 12 core components, with AI literacy, adaptive task-based modules, cross-cultural pragmatics, and soft-skills integration emerging as top priorities. By Round 3, consensus (≥75%) was achieved on a four-pillar ESP framework: technological integration, learner-centered pedagogy, discipline-specific authenticity, and outcome-based assessment. Cross-sectoral analysis revealed a significant gap between industry-driven priorities (e.g., real-time communication) and academic emphasis (e.g., critical reading and writing), highlighting the need for curricular harmonization. The findings underscore a shift toward integrative, technology-enhanced, and professionally aligned ESP models. Implications include the urgent need to reform teacher training to address competencies such as AI, sustainability, and data-driven instruction

Abstract

This research aims to reconstruct the cognitive process in formulating research problems in writing scientific journal articles. Through a grounded theory approach, this study reveals six important findings related to the formulation of research problems in scientific journal articles, i.e.: a gap between expectations and reality; intensive search by finding possibilities, norm testing results and case studies; mapping global structure of issues; and data replication. This research concludes that the formulation of research problems in writing scientific journal articles is identical to the research gap (RG). As an empty space or a vast space of possibilities, RG can be entered and examined more deeply and seriously by researchers in various disciplines so that they can explore and discover new knowledge. This research has an important and significant impact on the development of science and technology. It offers a new approach to how cognitive experiences were constructed. The results of the construction of this cognitive process have tangible benefits for many people regarding how research problems and research questions are formulated.

Abstract

Abstract This study explores the intricacies of figurative language and speech acts within five selected short stories from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes." Through a qualitative analysis grounded in the theories of Austin and Searle for speech acts, and further supported by the descriptive insights of figurative language as discussed by Adiwangsa & Sakinah (2023) and Ampa & Quraisy (2018), this research aims to identify the dominant types of speech acts and the underlying meanings conveyed through figurative expressions. The methodology encompasses content analysis, with the researcher herself acting as the primary instrument, supplemented by digital tools for text examination. The findings reveal the prevalence of directive, expressive, and representative speech acts manifested in similes, metaphors, and metonyms, underscoring the significance of these linguistic features in enhancing the interpretative richness of literary texts. This study contributes to the broader discourse on linguistic analysis in literature, offering insights into the dynamic interplay between language form and function, and its educational implications in English Language and Arts curricula.
