Abstract

Introduction section is the first section of the thesis that has an important role which summarizes background information about the topic. The ability to write a clear and concise introduction section of a thesis is indispensable skill to writers; thus it is essential for students to be aware of linguistic aspects of writing. Past literature in writing studies have shown that although many studies have been written about the grammatical errors and mistakes in writing, there is very little research done on grammatical problems in writing introduction section of thesis. This research was a descriptive qualitative research which aimed to analyze grammatical problems found in the introduction section of thesis written by English literature students at STIBA Persada Bunda Pekanbaru. The source of data in this research was documents taken from students’ thesis. The data were collected by using coding sheets. The findings of this research showed that the most common grammatical problems found in introduction section of thesis was incorrect verbs which dominated by tenses confusion and lack of subject and verb agreement. The possible solutions to overcome students’ grammatical problems were using indirect method in teaching grammar and prioritizing grammar structures to teach.

The type of this research was descriptive research which used Error Analysis procedures to identify and analyze the students’ error. The findings showed that the types of grammatical errors made by the students in their translation were three types, namely global errors, local errors, and other errors. The most frequent error made by the students was local errors and the fewest error made by the students was other errors.  Then, this research revealed that mostly errors occurred in students’ translation were caused by intralingual error.

This research was based on the researchers’ curiosity to investigate learners’ understanding politeness and gender concept of advertisements. The advertisements were watched frequently by the learners of this digital era, nowadays. Then, the politeness and gender concept sometimes can be seen in the advertisement. Politeness and gender is part of sociolinguistics subject for English literature. The aim of the research was to investigate learners’ understanding in identifying politeness and gender concept existed in advertisement. The method used in this research was quantitative followed by qualitative as additional information. The population and sample of this research was the sixth semester learners of STIBA Persada Bunda. There were 10 learners as population as well as sample of this research. The data collection technique was gained by asking the learners to choose the multiple choices of politeness and gender questions by watching the video of advertisement. Then, after collecting the data, the researchers evaluated and analyzed the test of each learner. The result of this research showed that the learners’ understanding in identifying politeness and gender existed in advertisements is in low level with score 51,5 “poor” category. The factors that affected the learners’ understanding were the lack of learners’ understanding of theoretical concept of politeness and gender, and hard for learners to differentiate gender concept of sex concept.

Abstract

The elite rice has been produced, including iron (Fe) tolerant varieties. To get the appropriate rice lines which superior not only Fe tolerant but also have good grain quality needs to be developed selection system, especially in the use of molecular markers. This study was aimed to develop molecular markers for selection the rice grain quality characters of selected rice lines Fe tolerant. A total of 30 selected Fe tolerant rice lines and 5 parents as control lines were used in this research. Characterization of grain quality were quantitatively using the standard. While for genotyping analysis used 19 molecular markers of STS, SSR, Indel and SNP. This study showed that 14 of 19 markers result polymorphic DNA band (DNA markers). Association analysis of genotype and phenotype showed that 10 of 14 markers were significantly (p < 0.05) related to high quality of rice grain. Among four types of markers used in this study, STS was the most widely associated significantly with four characters of rice quality. The phenotyping analysis showed that the physical grain and palatability quality which obtained from the total mean of 30 rice lines tested tend to nearly with the parent’s value as controls lines. The most of these lines were included in the group IV of National Rice Grain Quality Standard (SNI). The amylose content (AC) showed that the texture was varied from firm and dry (high AC) to soft and sticky (low AC). The association results showed that there were significant (p ≤ 0.05) markers related with the biosynthesis starch genes, i.e: SBE1, SS1, SSIIa, GPA, PUL and S3cl which contributed on the character of rice palatability. These selected significant markers could be useful for screening of other population with Fe tolerant and/ or other desired morpho-agronomical traits in support of rice breeding program in Indonesia.

Abstract

The immense development of AI, particularly for writing tools, has made it unavoidable for students to become familiar with these technologies. The study investigates using AI writing tools, specifically Canva Magic Write, Quillbot, and Grammarly, in collaborative writing tasks. Eight third-semester students from the English Department at the Faculty of Letters, University of Persada Bunda Indonesia, were selected using a purposeful sampling technique since they have used AI writing tools, including Canva Magic Write, Quillbot, and Grammarly, in Advanced English Grammar and Essay Writing class in the academic 2024-2025 previously. The study employed mixed methods with an explanatory sequential mixed method design, which involved a two-phase data collection process beginning with quantitative data (Questionnaire) and followed by qualitative data (semi-structured interview). The results showed that three AI writing tools - Grammarly, Quillbot, and Canva Magic Write - significantly impact students' collaborative writing experiences. Grammarly improved writing quality, Quillbot enhanced confidence, and Canva Magic Write proved beneficial for idea generation. However, students faced challenges such as restricted access to premium features, issues with source accuracy, irrelevant suggestions, and technical difficulties. Despite these challenges, students expressed satisfaction with Grammarly and Quillbot, while Canva Magic Write received less favorable feedback due to slower performance and outdated sources. The study highlights the importance of understanding students' perceptions and attitudes toward using AI tools for collaborative writing.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the influence of Canva Magic AI on improving students' writing quality and to gauge their perceptions of using the tool. The study utilized a quantitative, pre-experimental One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. Eight English literature students were selected using convenience sampling from an Intermediate English Grammar and Paragraph Writing class at STBA Persada Bunda during the 2023-2024 academic year. Data were collected via a writing test and a questionnaire. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' writing quality after using Canva Magic AI, with a p-value of 0.012 from the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Notable enhancements were observed across various writing components, including better organization, with more students receiving "Excellent to Good" ratings and the complete elimination of the "Not College Level Work" category.  Logical development of ideas component showed significant improvement, with more students achieving higher ratings and lower ratings decreasing to zero. Grammar quality also improved markedly, with increases in higher ratings and decreases in lower ones. Progress was observed in punctuation, spelling, mechanics, and the style and quality of expression, with significant boosts in higher ratings and reductions in lower performance levels. Furthermore, students' perceptions of Canva Magic AI were highly positive, with mean ratings consistently above 4.0 on a 5-point scale. They acknowledged the tool's effectiveness in improving their writing skills and content creation, although some reported variability in experiences with errors, indicating a need for further refinement. The research underscores the effectiveness of Canva Magic AI as a supplementary educational tool, demonstrating its potential to enhance writing skills and overall quality. The implications for educational practices suggest integrating AI tools like Canva Magic AI into curricula to support and improve students' writing proficiency,  fostering a more engaging and efficient learning environment.
