Abstract

The IMRaD (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) structure is a crucial framework for organizing information in abstract writing, enabling clear and effective communication of research findings. Hence, this research aims to analyze the adherence of undergraduate students to the IMRaD structure in their thesis abstracts. The study focuses on students who graduated from a private university in 2019. A sample of 77 from 326 thesis abstracts was selected from the population using the simple random sampling technique. Data collection involved a document review technique. The result shows that among the 77 students, all abstracts included the Introduction section, indicating a high level of adherence. However, the Method and Results sections were found in the abstracts of only 70 students, suggesting a relatively lower compliance rate. Surprisingly, the Discussion section was present in the abstracts of only 31 students, representing the lowest adherence to the IMRaD structure. This research reveals a need for interventions to enhance undergraduate students' understanding and implementation of the IMRaD structure in their thesis abstracts. Therefore, lecturers and institutions should provide guidance and support to improve students' adherence to this important academic writing convention. By enhancing students' proficiency in applying the IMRaD structure, their thesis abstracts can become more effective and aligned with scholarly standards.

Abstract

Analyzing everyday language properties is crucial for uncovering the nuanced layers of meaning within literary works. Therefore, this study explores Prof. Diemroh Ihsan's book, From South Sumatera to Ohio, Indiana, and Utah, through the lens of pragmatics and discourse analysis, focusing on everyday language properties as outlined in Grundy's (2008) framework. Specifically, the study examines indirect meanings, cultural contexts, and inferences present in the narrative. The qualitative descriptive technique was chosen for its suitability in systematically capturing and interpreting descriptive data, such as written words in the book, allowing for a detailed exploration of linguistic nuances within the text. This approach enables an in-depth understanding of how language operates within cultural and contextual dimensions of the narrative. The analysis reveals eight instances of implicit meaning, nine cultural contexts, and one inference, illustrating the intricate dynamics between language and culture. By acting as a cultural bridge that portrays diverse culinary traditions, festive celebrations, and economic perspectives, this study highlights the interplay between language and cultural interpretation. The findings lay a foundation for future cross-cultural analyses, contributing to a deeper understanding of how language and culture intersect in literary works.Everyday Language Properties

Abstract

A substantial portion of the post-humanist argument centers on the ways the domain of convergent technologies transcends, improves, and prolongs life through a range of mind and body enhancements. English lecturers, for example, inadvertently involve technology application assistance in the production of their research articles. Therefore, this study aims (1) to investigate the EFL lecturers’ beliefs toward the use of paraphrasing tools for publishing their research article based on Gladden (2016) framework of Posthumanism, and (2) to find out how they see the impact of paraphrasing tools on their students’ academic writing and intellectual creativity on the writing through a posthumanism lens. 23 EFL lecturers who have experience publishing academic papers and also part of faculty members in their affiliation university would be given a questionnaire consisted opened and closed ended questions for data collection. The data was analyzed and presented qualitatively. The results indicate that the lecturers’ views were containing the analytic and synthetic typology of posthumanism and the use of paraphrasing tools can have both positive and negative impacts on academic writing and intellectual creativity. Hence, the lecturers suggest that students should be taught about the ethics and boundaries of using paraphrasing tools and should be encouraged to develop their own ideas
