The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible factors inhibiting the university lecturers or professors in Indonesia from publishing their research results in reputable international journals in English. The research used a mixed (quantitative and qualitative) method, employing a national survey and in-depth interviews with selected lecturers and researchers in five different universities in Indonesia (i.e., Bengkulu University, Padang State University, Makasar State University, Unika Atma Jaya University and Mataram University). The results show that three main factors have hindered the lecturers from submitting their articles to reputable international journals: lack of self-confidence on the quality of their own research and article, finding it very difficult and very time consuming to prepare an article in English and no adequate reward for those who can successfully publish in reputable international journals. However, the majority of them have a positive attitude toward international journal publication for their own benefits or for the sake of their institution.

The present paper is a report of two activities of community service on developing students literacy at Sarikarya Elementary School in Yogyakarta on 20 October 2017 and 11 May 2018. The activities sprout from the result of the research conducted in the same school in August 2017 to find out to what extent the children from class 1 to class 6 make progress in their writing of a descriptive text. By using the result of our research as the basic material for our community service, we had a discussion with the teachers so that they would be more aware of the literacy competence of their students, and by so doing they could help their students develop their students literacy in writing. This community service also aims to discuss with teachers what kind of activities could be carried out in class to support the development.

ORAL NARRATIVE AND DESCRIPTIVE PROFICIENCY IN BILINGUAL CHILDREN: A CASE STUDY OF JAVANESE-INDONESIAN CHILDREN Katharina Endriati Sukamto; Bambang Kaswanti Purwo

This qualitative preliminary study focuses on the linguistic proficiency of Javanese-Indonesian bilingual elementary school children in a village in Gunung Kidul, 65 km south of Yogyakarta in the island of Java, Indonesia, in producing oral narrative and descriptive stories in Javanese and Indonesian. Two kinds of instruments were used to elicit data in this study: a six-minute silent movie and a picture about some activities to commemorate the Indonesian Independence Day. The elicited data from the movie instrument shows that both the lower-grade and higher-grade students were more at ease with Javanese than with Indonesian. From the picture-triggered speech, the result is that the higher-grade students superseded the lower-grade students in their fluency in Indonesian as well as in their ability to construct longer utterances in the language. This study demonstrates that the children’s proficiency in Javanese – their first language – remains at the basic level and it does not develop even though the children are in the higher grade. However, all children are more comfortable with Javanese when they have to do retelling. When the children were given a task that is related to academic requirements, such as describing something that is based on a picture, the higher-grade children perform better in Indonesian rather than in Javanese.

FUNGSI INDEKSIKAL REFERENSIAL DAN NONREFERENSIAL PADA KONSTRUKSI DIATESIS BAHASA JEPANG (REFERENTIAL AND NONREFERENTIAL INDEXICAL FUNCTIONS IN JAPANESE VOICE CONSTRUCTIONS) Hiroko Otsuka; Dadang Suganda; Bambang Kaswanti Purwo; Cece Sobarna

Penelitian ini membahas fungsi dan makna indeksikal konstruksi diatesis bahasa Jepang. Dalam tradisi linguistik Barat, konstruksi diatesis merupakan piranti untuk menyatakan makna proposisional mengenai hubungan di antara partisipan dengan situasi yang digambarkan verba. Dengan menggunakan kerangka indeksikal referensial dan nonreferensial, penelitian ini mencoba menjelaskan fungsi konstruksi diatesis bahasa Jepang bermakna nonproposisional. Fungsi dan makna indeksikal dijelaskan melalui pengontrasan paradigmatis terkait makna konstruksi yang membentuk seperangkat opsi terbatas dalam penentuan pilihan penutur. Penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa indeksikal referensial berfungsi pula menyatakan makna evaluatif penutur seperti ‘stance’ afektif/emotif terhadap partisipan peristiwa yang selama ini oleh peneliti dianggap dinyatakan melalui indeksikal nonreferensial. Penelitian ini menjelaskan pula bahwa makna indeksikal nonreferensial konstruksi diatesis bahasa Jepang dapat mencakup sikap mental yang meliputi sikap menjaga citra diri, sikap menimbang rasa orang lain dan sebagainya. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa fungsi indeksikal referensial maupun nonreferensial pada konstruksi diatesis bahasa Jepang berhubungan erat dengan kehidupan sosial budaya Jepang.

There has been a great deal of interest in issues multilingual scholars (henceforth: MLS) have in trying to gain publication in international main-stream English language journals (IEJs). However, little research has been published on the experience of MLS using their perspective, particularly how they perceive their competence (knowledge and skills) to publish their research internationally. The purpose of this study was to fill this gap by investigating what they perceived as the factors that inhibited them from publishing in IEJs. This study mainly used a quantitative method, but the results were supplemented with interviews and focus group discussion with some of the participants in the survey. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) tool of the SPSS statistical programme was used to conduct two levels of analysis: the PCA and Confirmation Factorial Analysis (CFA). The key finding was that the most critical factor for the participants was not a lack of funds as widely reported in many previous studies, but lack of competence to face the challenges of preparing and publishing research article (RA) in IEJs, which had dampened self-confidence. The low self-confidence and two solutions, suggested by the participants, implicitly confirmed the key finding. The participants were aware of the various benefits of research article publication in IEJs, but they were not strong enough to overcome the critical factor. The implication is that policymakers should consider providing regular training for staff with adequate practice and feedback and introducing the subject to undergraduate or, at least, MA students before they embark on starting their research projects.

The argument style in research article discussions to support research findings in language studies Safnil Arsyad; Bambang Kaswanti Purwo; Zifirdaus Adnan

The argument quality in a research article discussion (henceforth RAD) determines the quality of the article as a whole, and therefore this section must be written as convincingly as possible. However, authors in different disciplines such as Language Studies (LS) may address this section in a different argument style. This study is aimed at investigating how Indonesian writers in LS support their findings in their RADs. There were 40 RADs taken from four different Indonesian journals in LS; the articles were chosen from the latest volumes of the nationally accredited journals. This study used a genre analysis method in which the major source of data is a collection of texts as a product of language activity. The results show that the majority of Indonesian writers use Style 1 (interpreting the research findings or suggesting what the research findings mean), Style 2 (explaining or elaborating the research findings), Style-3 (stating the possible cause/s of the research findings), and Style 4 (illustrating or exemplifying the research findings) to support their research findings. However, unlike international authors, Indonesian writers do not relate their research findings with those of previous related studies; if they do so, it is to confirm the interpretation or explanation of their research results. The results of this study may help Indonesian authors in LS improve the quality of their RADs especially when writing articles in English to be submitted to an international journal.
