Abstract

Effective sentences—characterized by unity, coherence, conciseness, clarity, and emphasis—are essential in scholarly writing. However, students often struggle to apply these principles consistently. This study investigates the reasoning patterns and sentence construction errors in students' scholarly articles in Padang City. This descriptive qualitative study analyzed final assignments written for a sociolinguistics course. Data were collected through an observation technique that involved systematically reading each article, identifying and marking errors in sentence effectiveness, and categorizing them based on predetermined criteria. The data were validated using theoretical triangulation, referencing Putrayasa’s effective sentence framework. Data analysis employed content analysis and an interactive model. The findings reveal that while students commonly employed inductive and deductive reasoning patterns, their use was often flawed due to inadequate empirical support and weak analytical depth. Additionally, errors related to unity, conciseness, emphasis, and variety were prevalent, diminishing the clarity and professionalism of the writing. The study indicates a gap between students’ theoretical understanding of sentence construction and their practical application. Their ineffective use of reasoning patterns and sentence structures hinders the development of coherent academic arguments. These findings underscore the need for targeted training to improve students’ reasoning and writing skills. Structured guidance and practice can enhance their ability to produce clear, professional, and impactful scholarly articles.

Abstract

This study investigates differences in poetry writing skills between students taught using the constructivism learning method and those taught using the modeling method. The research explores the effectiveness of these methods in enhancing creativity and writing proficiency. Employing a quantitative experimental design with a 2x2 factorial framework, the study selected one class as the experimental group (constructivism method) and another as the control group (modeling method). A cluster random sampling technique was used to select 56 students from the Faculty of Language and Arts at Universitas Negeri Padang. Data were collected through performance tests, using a poetry writing assessment rubric that evaluated both physical and inner elements of poetry. Data analysis included normality and homogeneity tests and a 2-way ANOVA. The findings reveal significant differences between the two learning methods. The experimental group (constructivism) scored higher (81.57) compared to the control group (modeling), with an average of 78.14. Additionally, students with high creative thinking skills performed better (79.85) than those with lower creativity (72.57). The results confirm that the constructivism learning model is more effective in improving poetry writing skills than the modeling method. It fosters creativity and enhances students' ability to engage deeply with poetic elements. Adopting the constructivist learning approach can significantly enhance students’ poetry writing skills and creativity. Educators are encouraged to implement this method to foster greater student engagement and improved learning outcomes in creative writing.

Abstract

Language use among urban youth, particularly in South Jakarta, has become an intriguing topic in sociolinguistic studies. This study analyzes the phenomena of code-mixing, code-switching, and language interference in the digital platform of the #BeritaAkhirPekan podcast. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis method, data were collected through podcast selection, verbatim transcription of conversations, and categorization based on the observed linguistic phenomena. The findings reveal that code-mixing is frequently employed to reflect modernity, global exposure, and social status, whereas code-switching is strategically used to clarify messages and create a professional and global impression. Language interference occurs at the morphological and phonological levels through the adaptation of terms. These findings have significant implications for language education, particularly in teaching strategies for bilingual or multilingual students. The patterns of code-mixing and code-switching can serve as authentic resources in language learning to enhance linguistic awareness and effective communication. Furthermore, this study’s findings can inspire curriculum development that is more adaptive to the modern linguistic dynamics of urban environments. The integration of digital platforms such as podcasts in language learning can also enrich digital literacy, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. In teacher training, it is crucial for educators to recognize and incorporate students' bilingual practices to create an inclusive learning environment. From a language policy perspective, this study recommends support for bilingualism in schools and adjustments to assessment standards to better reflect real-world linguistic practices.
