Journal of English for Academic and Specific Purposes (JEASP) a specialized journal of English language teaching (ELT) that meticulously tailors English language teaching-learning instructions to meet the precise needs of learners within various academic and professional fields. At its core, this journal focuses on English for Academic Purposes (EAP), emphasizing the enhancement of essential language skills—listening, reading, speaking, and writing—alongside the critical components of grammar and vocabulary. This targeted approach necessitates the development of specialized teaching language materials, strategies, and assessment that address the unique linguistic demands of each discipline. The scope of this journal (JEASP) is vast and diverse, encompassing English for Education, which equips educators and students with the language proficiency required for academic success; English for Laws, covering the specialized terminologies of family law, economic law, criminal law, and constitutional law; and English for Science and Technology, focusing on the linguistic needs of natural sciences and engineering. Additionally, this journal extends to English for Economics, addressing the specific language of finance, banking, and business; English for Humanities, which enhances communication in social and cultural studies, languages, and media; and English for Medicine and Health Community Services, supporting the complex language requirements of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, midwifery, and health analyses.

Rhetoric in writing an abstract is required for the writers’ goal which is to deliver adequate information to the readers by implementing an appropriate compositional structure of the abstract. This study aims to explore the use of grammatical construction of every rhetorical move in the research article abstracts. The result showed that grammatical constructions are found in the research article abstracts. The use of present tense is dominant in all five moves. Additionally, past tense is mostly found in method move. Active voice and passive voice are also found in all five moves. However, passive voice is frequently found in method and conclusion. In this case, the writers construct the abstract as objective as possible. That-complement clause is characteristically found in product move. Thus, implementation of this study is beneficial for the writers in academic writing to realize the use of grammatical constructions in the research article abstracts.

Abstract

In writing class, young learners need the guidance from the teacher to express their ideas to do the writing task. This study is intended to observe how the teacher implemented the writing process in teaching writing. The implementation of the writing process includes three important things - the techniques, teaching aids, and the teaching procedures. This study was a case study. It was conducted in twelve meetings at Primary 3 Class where the researcher was the non-participant observer so she did not take any participation in the teaching-learning activities. The researcher obtained the data from classroom observations, pictures taking, field notes, and interviews. The results showed that the teacher implemented the writing process in teaching writing by using seven kinds of teaching techniques, eight kinds of teaching aids and different teaching procedures for each technique. The seven techniques were brainstorming, mind mapping, drawing, reading activities, browsing on the internet, pair or group work, and individual writing. The techniques were supported by eight kinds of teaching aids such as storybooks, journal books, whiteboard, workbooks, some stationary items, computers, a laptop, and a LCD projector. The reason for using the techniques, the teaching aids and the procedures were to guide and motivate the students to write better in class. In conclusion, the teaching techniques, teaching aids, and teaching procedures used by the teacher made the students become more active and the students were encouraged to express their ideas in the written work in class

Abstract

 This study purposed to gain the difference between students’ academic performance in writing skills who are taught by using indirect written correction and those do not. The research design used quasi-experimental design because this study did not do randomization. In this experimental design, the researcher used two classes to become the subject. One class was experimental class which treated by using indirect correction technique while the other class was control class which was not treated by using indirect correction technique. The subject of this study was seven grade in MTs Pontren Surya Buana Malang.; 7C became control group and 7D was became experimental group. Both of groups consisted 24 students. Both of groups consisted 35 students. This data used t-test to find the significant difference of both groups.           The result was difference between two groups 17, 16 and the std. deviation difference is 0, 92.  T-test count =18, 591 t- table =1, 679 and p-value 0.000 α (0, 05). It applied that the technique was effective. The conclusion is indirect correction technique is effective to teach writing skills. Then, it is suggested to the teacher to apply or implement a different writing technique to practice and improve the students’ writing, especially by using corrective feedback that have been practiced before.
