Abstract

Reviewing earlier literature has suggested that research must produce new knowledge. However, while many linguist scholars have rhetorically analyzed the structures of research article introductions (RAIs), strategic ways and steps to produce new knowledge in RAIs have not been explicitly addressed and explored in the literature. Understanding this need calls this study by addressing three important purposes: providing comprehension of strategic ways, rhetorical steps to produce new knowledge and types of new knowledge in RAs. To execute these purposes, this study used 30 English-applied linguistic RAIs published in reputable journals. The analysis employed a genre analysis approach and used a qualitative method for reporting data analysis results. The results revealed that the authors employed three strategic ways and three rhetorical steps to produce new knowledge. Besides, they produced two types of knowledge: research-world knowledge, and real-world knowledge. These findings suggested that producing new knowledge in research articles requires strategic ways and rhetorical steps, and authors need to emphasize their research contribution to expand knowledge based on earlier research. These findings suggest that English for Academic Purposes (EAP) teachers may take these findings into their academic teaching classes for impactful research.

Abstract

While understanding promotional genre in research article abstracts (RAAs) has important role to promote research and attract targeted audiences, studies in these potential topics are still limited in the literature. This study aims to analyze promotional genre, communicative functions to promote research, in English RAAs by addressing two important goals: identifying to what extent is research promoted in the abstract section in the applied linguistics discipline, and discover communicative strategies employed to promote research in the RAAs. In responding these goals, it used genre approach to analyze 30 RAAs in the applied linguistics discipline published in reputable journals in Q1 Scopus indexed journals with Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) higher than 1.0 using a qualitative genre analysis. The results revealed that 29 of 30 RAAs promote their research in this section, and they used three communicative strategies to promote their research. These three communicative strategies include: promoting the importance of the current research topics, promoting the importance of the findings, and promoting the implication and contribution of the study. This study may contribute to expand genre studies in the literature and contribute to academic writing in research practices and writing pedagogies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze simple sentence patterns and the structure of phrases in reading texts in the Talk Active textbook for 10th grade students at SMAN 13 Maros. This study focuses on identifying syntactic sentence patterns and syntactic structures of phrases in the sentences. A total of 140 simple sentences from 14 chapters were analyzed using the classification of simple sentence patterns according to Quirk et al., (1985), phrase structure rules theory according to Bornstein (1984), and syntactic tree diagram representation according to Aarts (2001). The results showed that the most dominant sentence patterns were SVC and SVO, followed by SVOA and SVA, while complex patterns such as SVOO and SVOC rarely appeared, and the simplest pattern SV did not appear at all. Noun phrases (NPs) were dominated by Pronoun and Determiner + Noun, while verb phrases were dominated by linking verbs (Vl) with complements and transitive verbs (Vt) with objects and additional adverbials, supporting the dominance of SVC, SVO, and SVOA patterns. These findings indicate that the textbook tend to feature more descriptive sentences where sentence patterns are used to explain or identify subjects and express actions or events.

Abstract

This study aims to explore EFL students’ perspectives on the use of ChatGPT in writing tasks. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The participants consisted of undergraduate students from the English Education Department, who actively engaged with ChatGPT to support their academic writing. The findings reveal two main aspects: 1) Perceived Usefulness, where students acknowledged that ChatGPT helps them generate ideas, improve vocabulary, and enhance sentence structures and Perceived Ease of Use, as most students found the platform accessible, user-friendly, and supportive in completing writing tasks; and 2) Challenges, which include issues such as Information Literacy, Reproduction Literacy and Socio-Emotional Literacy. Overall, students demonstrated positive perceptions of ChatGPT as a supplementary tool in their writing process. However, they also encountered challenges in managing information, reproducing content, and dealing with socio-emotional aspects. Therefore, teacher guidance and students’ critical evaluation are still essential to ensure effective and responsible use of ChatGPT in academic writing.

Abstract

This research examined the rhetorical structure of the climax plot in the novel Ayat-Ayat Cinta by Habiburrahman El Shirazy (2004). This study employed a qualitative design, utilizing Swales' (1990) move analysis method to identify moves and strategies in the climax chapters, and supported the analysis with narrative plot mapping. The results showed that the climax plot was dominated by rhetorical moves that highlighted narrative shifts through tension, provided character struggles, highlighted character emotions, and built a dramatic atmosphere that served to strengthen the ideological and persuasive dimensions of the narrative. In addition, a length analysis of the climax revealed that measuring it through the number of chapters, pages, paragraphs, and dialogues effectively reflected the dramatic effect and maximized the communicative impact on readers. These findings indicate that rhetorical structure influences the persuasive power of the climax in conveying moral, cultural, and religious values. This study provides insight into how narrative design contributes to the creation of meaning in Indonesian popular literature.

Abstract

Genre of research article introductions (RAIs) have received increasing numbers of scholarly research worldwide, including in the Indonesian context, and establishing a niche has been previously addressed in the literature. However, studies to justify current research in Indonesian contexts are still limited, particularly those published in accredited Sinta journals, while understanding how to establish a niche is pivotal to provide understanding and awareness to students and novice authors. This study aims to address this need by analyzing counter-claiming and indicating a gap to establish a niche in 100 English RAIs written by Indonesian authors in the discipline of language education published in Sinta 2-accredited journals, and how authors linguistically realize these two communicative steps. It used genre-based analysis, more specifically, the Move 2 Establishing a niche of create research space (CARS) model as an analytical framework. The results revealed that an evolving genre has occurred in this study. Indonesian authors employed counter-claiming and indicated a gap for establishing a niche. However, while counter-claiming is optional, indicating a gap is conventional in this study. To realize these two steps, the authors employed linguistic strategies to justify their current research areas. These results imply that genre in English RAIs in the present study may become future examples and as a starting point for evolving genre. The reason behind these findings are discussed further in the discussion section.

Abstract

Studies on rhetorical structures within academic texts have become a growing trend in applied linguistic studies. However, studies on this area within the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are still undeveloped, while understanding their rhetorical structures may help those intending to take IELTS tests. Understanding this need has encouraged me to execute this study, by focusing on analyzing an essay writing part. To do so, this study used a genre approach for analyzing 20 IELTS essay writings band seven because this band is considered acceptable both in national and international universities. A top-down approach was also employed to find their rhetorical steps. The results showed that test takers accepting band seven employed five rhetorical steps. Then, the length of each rhetorical step seems different from one to another. The findings were then used to design a rhetorical guide for writing an essay for IELTS. These findings imply that writing an essay to reach band seven in the IELTS test better requires understanding these rhetorical steps. By understanding these steps, test takers may more easily develop and organize their ideas when writing their essays.

Abstract

Employing citations in research article writing is significant in creating engagements with literature, and establishing authorial stances is also critical for convincing targeted readers to show that authors have sufficient knowledge for negotiating knowledge claims within their research papers. However, studies underpinning these issues in Indonesian research article introductions (RAIs) are still limited, particularly in the History and Law disciplines. Motivated by this need, this study intends to analyze citation numbers, authorial stances, and contextual uses of stances in cross languages (English-Indonesian) and disciplines (History and Law). To realize this intention, it used 60 English and Indonesian RAIs (one section, the introduction section) from the History and Law disciplines as data sets. The analysis used an earlier theoretical framework, by focusing on citation numbers counted manually, authorial stances to identify either positive, neutral, or negative, and contextual uses for the stance uses. Consideration of citation occurrence was counted in each citation numbers. For example, when a parenthetical cluster contain four references, they were counted as four citation numbers. Then, repeated citations to the same source counted each time. The results revealed that English RAIs contain more citations than Indonesian RAIs. Then, although all corpora tend to employ more neutral stances than the other two types, English RAIs used negative stances more than Indonesian RAIs when citing literature. The contexts for employing positive, neutral and negative stances are then discussed in this paper.
