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

Literasi membaca merupakan keterampilan fundamental yang menjadi pondasi keberhasilan pembelajaran siswa di semua mata pelajaran. Data terbaru menunjukkan bahwa tingkat literasi membaca siswa di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah dibandingkan negara-negara lain. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan literasi membaca siswa kelas IV SD Inpres Cambaya IV Makassar melalui penggunaan buku cerita bergambar. Pelaksanaan kegiatan berlangsung selama tiga bulan dengan melibatkan 22 orang siswa. Metode pelaksanaan yang digunakan meliputi tiga tahapan: tahap persiapan, tahap pelaksanaan, dan tahap evaluasi. Implementasi kegiatan diawali dengan melakukan pengenalan dan pembiasaan membaca buku cerita bergambar. Selanjutnya para siswa diajarkan untuk melakukan aktivitas literasi interaktif berbasis buku cerita bergambar. Intervensi berupa program membaca terarah menggunakan 12 judul buku cerita bergambar yang dipilih berdasarkan tingkat keterbacaan dan kesesuaian dengan karakter siswa. Siswa dilibatkan dalam berbagai aktivitas literasi interaktif yang dikembangkan berdasarkan buku cerita bergambar yang telah dibaca. Aktivitas ini mencakup: diskusi terpandu (guided discussion), dramatisasi cerita (story dramatization), dan menulis kreatif (creative writing). Secara umum kegiatan ini dianggap berhasil di mana terdapat peningkatan signifikan rata-rata kemampuan literasi membaca siswa dari kategori rendah dan kurang lancar menjadi kategori sedang dan agak lancar. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya korelasi positif pengaruh media buku cerita bergambar terhadap peningkatan minat baca dan kemampuan literasi siswa. Hasil kegiatan ini dapat menjadi model implementasi program literasi yang efektif dan dapat direplikasi oleh sekolah-sekolah lain dengan karakteristik serupa. Lebih lanjut, kegiatan ini juga diharapkan dapat memperkaya basis pengetahuan mengenai strategi peningkatan literasi membaca yang sesuai dengan konteks dan kebutuhan siswa di Indonesia.

Abstract

Metaphor is one of the essential elements of language that reflects a person’s level of creativity and capacity for abstract thinking. This study aims to identify the relationship between students’ personalities—based on the Big Five Personality model—and their ability to construct metaphors in English, using the theoretical framework of Lakoff & Johnson (1980). Employing a quantitative correlational approach, the research involved 65 active students from the English Literature Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar, selected through stratified random sampling. The instruments used were the Indonesian-adapted version of the Big Five Personality questionnaire (IPIP) and a metaphor writing test consisting of 20 items. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the dimension Openness to Experience had a strong and significant positive relationship with metaphor construction ability, establishing it as the strongest predictor. Conscientiousness also showed a significant positive correlation, while Neuroticism had a significant negative correlation. In contrast, Extraversion and Agreeableness were not significantly associated with metaphor ability. These findings highlight that certain personality aspects—particularly openness to experience and self-discipline—play an important role in supporting students’ linguistic creativity, especially in metaphorical expression.
