Abstract

This research attempts to suggest an alternative solution for writers in general and graduate students in particular in writing a proper research article introduction. In order to do so, the authors explored how the Swales’ model is applied in writing a research article introduction. The exploration was approached through a library study on the Swales model application. Some previous studies applying Swales Model were gathered and categorized into three categories − application of Swales model on different types of genre besides the research article introduction, different discipline or field and the last is the application of Swales’ on the research article introduction across languages. Another three articles written by professional writers were also collected as samples of introductions that have successfully presented three obligatory moves – establishing a territory (Move 1), establishing a niche (Move 2) and occupying the niche or presenting the present work (Move 3) − proposed by Swales’ model. Those introductions were segmented into those three moves and analyzed based on a communication purpose in every step derived from each move. In order to add more comprehension about the model, an analysis was also conducted on introductions for seven articles in the English Education Journal (EEJ) published by the Graduate Program in English Language Education at Syiah Kuala University. The purpose of the analysis was to show the differences in structure of introductions organized without following the CARS Swales model. Conclusions are that the CARS Swales model is relevant for the teaching of introductions for research writing and it can be a guideline to teach students the moves and steps of this model for communication purposes.

Abstract

Professional development in Indonesia has been widely researched, with much of the focus on secondary school teachers. Some studies have explored professional development among tertiary education teachers, but research on the professional development of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors in higher education in Indonesia remains limited. This gap is significant, given the crucial role of EFL instructors in preparing future English teachers, which demands exceptional professionalism. This research aimed to explore the factors contributing to the professional development of EFL instructors in higher education in Indonesia. The data for this study were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten EFL instructors (five female and five male) from various universities in Indonesia. The interview questions covered topics such as their views on professional development, efforts to improve themselves, participation in professional development programs and activities, personal initiatives, and institutional support. Each interview lasted between 35 and 45 minutes. The data were analyzed using the MAXQDA tool to identify themes from the interview transcripts. The findings revealed several key themes: (1) efforts for PD (2) EFL instructor beliefs (3) EFL instructors’ efficacy (4) Less institution support, (5) commitment to the job, (5) classroom practice. The study suggests that institutional support for EFL instructors should be enhanced. Professional development programs should be consistently provided and maintained to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability.

Without doubt, vocabulary is a crucial part in mastering English language skills. It is the basic element that helps to construct a well written or spoken text. These two production skills assist students to be communicative well. However, the range of vocabulary produced becomes a problem when the students have difficulties to deploy the words properly. This study, therefore, tried to examine the typical of vocabulary applied by the EFL students in their writing text. By analyzing those writing text, it is depicted the vocabularies they applied. This is a qualitative descriptive research. The researchers relied on the list of academic words by Averil Coxhead (2000) and new academic words by Dr. Charles Browne, Dr. Brent Culligan and Joseph Phillips (2013) in analyzing the vocabularies in the written text. The words in the written texts were highlighted and categorized based on the lists. The result showed that, the students’ vocabularies had some characteristics: (1) low lexical density; (2) higher repetition of information; and (3) higher proportion of basic and frequently-used words and lower usage of academic words. Therefore, it is suggested that students need more exposure to AWL or NAWL, there is Vocabulary development assistance and vocabularies should be taught contextually.
