Abstract

Given that researchers aim to publish in prestigious journals, understanding the rhetorical organization of such publications is crucial. While this topic has been extensively studied, existing research has yet to explore how authors in reputable journals engage with prior literature. To fill this gap, the present study intends to analyze how research article authors respond to other earlier literature in their research article introductions (RAIs) published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. This study aims to achieve two objectives: to find out to what extent responding to other earlier literature is important in RAIs, and to discover what types of response authors employ in their RAIs. To achieve these goals, this study employed combined descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches for analyzing 40 RAIs published in Q1 journals as data sets in the present study. Then, a new analytical framework was designed to respond to the above objectives. The results indicated that responding to other earlier literature is obligatory in RAIs published in reputable international applied linguistics journals. In responding to other earlier literature, authors employed three types of response: either extending other earlier studies, modifying other earlier studies, or establishing a new method, idea, or knowledge. This study offers theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of how research article authors engage with prior literature within their RAIs. Its practical implications include guiding researchers on effectively utilizing prior literature to establish their research agenda when publishing in reputable journals.

Abstract

Thesis Defense Examination (TDE) is an assessment that most undergraduate students around the world have to pass in order to graduate from universities. Some students can pass the examination satisfactorily, while others fail due to their poor performance. In the EFL general context, the issue of poor performance of undergraduate students in the TDE conducted in English is a piece of common knowledge among lecturers as the examiners and students as the examinees. Within the Indonesian context, this study aims at investigating students and lecturers experiences in Research Methodology (RM) (focusing on written competence) and Seminar on ELT (SoELT) (focusing on oral competence) courses, where the case was taken from the English Education Department of a public university located in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. By using a purposive sampling technique, we involved five students who have passed RM and SoELT, two lecturers who teach RM, and two lecturers who teach SoELT as the participants in this qualitative research. Interviews were employed to gather the data to address the investigation. We consulted Hyland (2004) for the analysis of the teaching and learning of written competence, and Alptekin (2002) to analyze the teaching and learning of oral competence in classroom activities. The results of the analysis show that there are matches and mismatches between what was experienced by the students and what the lecturers experienced. We also found that some activities in the courses hindered students from being competent in their performance in TDE.

Abstract

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners frequently encounter significant challenges in developing oral proficiency, particularly within high-stakes academic contexts such as seminar proposal presentations. While speaking constitutes a fundamental dimension of language competence, many students exhibit difficulties in verbal communication despite the global prominence of English. This quantitative study investigates the speaking anxiety experienced by EFL students at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, focusing on three distinct dimensions: communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of negative evaluation. Data were collected via standardized questionnaires from twelve participants across two cohorts (2017 graduates and 2021 active students), all of whom had completed seminar proposal presentations. Findings indicate that communication apprehension was the most prevalent form of anxiety, with all participants reporting moderate levels, manifested through behavioral cues such as hesitation, reduced eye contact, and note dependency. Test anxiety was also prominent, with 92% of respondents experiencing moderate symptoms, including physiological reactions (e.g., trembling, stammering) and cognitive difficulty in handling impromptu questions. In contrast, fear of negative evaluation was reported at low levels, potentially attributable to a supportive classroom environment and familiar audiences. These results underscore the multifaceted nature of speaking anxiety and its substantial influence on learner confidence in academic presentation settings. The study concludes by emphasizing the necessity for targeted pedagogical interventions designed to mitigate these affective barriers and enhance the oral communicative competence of EFL learners.

Abstract

This study compares media coverage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict between Al Jazeera and Western media outlets such as the BBC, CNN, and The New York Times. The study aims to discover viewpoint gaps between Palestinian and Western news coverage, assess the role of Aljazeera local reporters in promoting world awareness, and investigate biases in media stories from both sides. A qualitative content analysis examined 14 news articles—seven from Al Jazeera and seven from Western sources—that covered significant events during the 2023-2024 Gaza conflict. The study examined variations in how conflict-related events are portrayed, language usage, and narrative framing. The findings show essential differences in viewpoint between Al Jazeera and Western media. Al Jazeera's reporting is typically more humane and passionate, highlighting Palestinian suffering and placing blame for violence on Israeli troops; in contrast, news from Western media tends to be largely ignorant of the sufferings of the innocent Palestinians who continue to become victims of endless indiscriminate bombings. Moreover, Aljazeera local reporters are essential in influencing attitudes worldwide because they provide personal stories of the war in contrast to Western media's more detached, objective reporting style. These results emphasize the significance of comprehending media bias and viewpoint gaps in conflict reporting and draw attention to the particular contribution that local reporters make in offering a more thorough analysis of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate the pros and cons of standing while working and studying. A qualitative research was employed where the data taken from education practitioners and students interested to learn and support the introduction of standing desks. The finding of the study show that students and sedentary workers now spend up to 85% of their waking hours,(+/-13.5 hrs/day), sitting viz: sitting at meals, sitting in transportation, sitting in schools or offices, sitting watching TV or looking at a handphone or an i-pad plus sitting whilst watching sport or playing computer games. Even if standing in classes became the default behaviour in all classes it could only result in a maximum of about 20 extra hours of standing per week during semesters and thus could only reduce the amount of time spent sitting by a maximum of 14% of waking hours to 71% of waking hours. The height of Standing Desks should be at the elbow height of the  person concerned ie about 1.00m for senior high school and university students and adults. For primary school students the desk height for the standing desk is about 75cm – ie. the same as the desk height for normal sitting desks for adults. The study also did a small survey of educators, 66% of whom would support the introduction of  standing desks.  Finally the study found that 72 % of the students and their teacher supported the introduction of standing desks. It is hoped that some schools and offices will take the initiative to introduce standing desks on a larger scale.

Abstract

This community service was conducted in Gampong Santan, located in the Ingin Jaya District of Aceh Besar Regency, with the primary aim of renovating a space into an Al-Qur'an Education Park (TPA). The newly created space is specifically designed to serve as a dedicated area for Al-Qur'an literacy activities among the young community members. As is known, the level of Al-Qur'an literacy in Indonesia is in the moderate category, even though it is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Recognizing this gap, the community service project sought to address the issue by providing a dedicated and well-equipped space for the residents of Gampong Santan, particularly the younger generation, to engage in and develop their Al-Qur'an literacy skills. Therefore, the community service project sought to bridge the gap by providing a well-equipped facility in Gampong Santan. By revitalizing an underutilized space and transforming it into a hub for Al-Qur'an education, the project hoped to inspire and encourage the residents, particularly the youth, to deepen their connection with the Al-Qur'an.Keywords: TPA, Literacy, Community Service
