Abstract

The purposes of this research were to find out the students’ difficulties in developing a paragraph and to understand the students’ difficulties in implementing the writing elements in writing their undergraduate thesis proposals. This research used the descriptive qualitative method. The instrument used in this research were interviews, documentation, and Oshima & Hogue’s Paragraph Rubric. The research subject was 7 eighth-semester students of UINSI Samarinda. The data were collected from the background of the study of the student’s undergraduate thesis proposals and analyzed with the Miles and Huberman Model. The result showed that the difficulties in developing a paragraph experienced by the students were related to too specific and too general topic sentences, poor supporting sentences, the absence of concluding sentences, inconsistent topic discussion, and inharmonic sentences. At the same time, the students’ difficulties shown in implementing the writing elements were found in the organization (the failure to run the sentences smoothly), vocabulary (informal phrases, redundancy, unclear word), grammar (singular and plural error, wrong word choice errors, missing word error, article error, subject-verb agreement error, fragment error, conjunction error, wrong word form error, wrong word order error, and preposition error), and mechanics (capitalization error, punctuation error, and spelling error). The causes of these problems were the interference of students’ native language and the lack of knowledge about the rules of the development of paragraph and writing elements.

Some terms were weird and new because it was pronounced in the English language, such as 'social distancing', 'rapid test', and 'lockdown'. Meanwhile, the role of the government, in this case, BKSDA was very important to stop the spread of this virus within the OR community. This article not only talked about language but also the implementation of health. The purposes of this research were: 1) to find out the government's role through BKSDA in educating OR about Covid-19 terms and its preventing actions; 2) to find out the perception of OR toward the words of Covid-19. This research was conducted qualitatively. The technique for collecting the data was observation, interview, documentation, and recording. Meanwhile, for analyzing the data used descriptive techniques. The results were: 1) BKSDA office visited each OR group and gave directions and examples on how to wash hands, wear masks, keep their distance, and keep the environment clean.

Abstract

All teachers, including speaking instructors, should be able to select the proper interactive media for students' speaking practice. Video-assisted learning tasks in the speaking class have not been explored extensively, despite the reality that video-based tasks are an appropriate choice for students to enhance their speaking ability. This study sought to examine the Effect of video-based tasks on students' speaking skills. In this study, a quasi-experimental design was employed, and the speaking scoring rubric served as the research instrument. Both the experimental group and the control group were comprised of participants. Researchers gave pre-and post-tests to identify the impact of the video-based tasks technique on students' speaking skills. Using a simple random sampling technique, 56 students from the English study program in the first grade at Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng comprised the research sample; then, the data were analyzed by using a t-test with the assistance of the SPSS 24.0 program. The data analysis of the average student score in the experimental and control groups revealed that the experimental group's average score (80,29) was higher than the control group's average score (67,57). This result demonstrates the significant effects of video-based tasks in teaching speaking. The researchers concluded that video-based tasks were helpful for teaching speaking skills. Moreover, video-based tasks significantly impact students' ICT skills, learning independence, and self-evaluation development. The logical implication of this study's findings is that EFL teachers should use videos to teach English, particularly speaking skills, because it has been demonstrated to have a favorable effect on the respondents' speaking ability.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the system and structure of English classroom interaction at Medan's Jabal Rahmah Mulia Boarding School. The records of a discussion in communication a video recording by Zoom Meeting among understudies and an English educator are viewed as information to be concentrated on utilizing a talk examination approach in light of Martin's Conversation Analysis (CA) model inside Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics structure (SFL). The foundation of the framework and construction of the English study hall connection are the challenges to be addressed. The examination saw movement types, temperament types, and the discourse capability of different provisions. The discoveries show that understudies act as initiators, while English educators work as allies, with optional knower (k2k1) moving sort for the most part; the communication is one of data exchange instead of labor and products, as conversationalists favor decisive and utilize basic sparingly. As per the discoveries, Question (Q) appears to generally satisfy the data given. Inquisitive asking is most ordinarily used to exhibit that a design's relational significance doesn't be guaranteed to compare to its lexico-sentence structure. This examination likewise shows how a study hall conversation happens in a characteristic set of mindset and discourse capability. It likewise demonstrates that understudies are on the requesting end of the scale, bringing about an absence of criticism in the communication.

Abstract

This study boasted some authors’ and editorial teams’ perspectives on academic integrity and adopting coherence properties, then using some Internet-based programs such as Mendeley, Grammar Checker, Turnitin, and coherence properties are considered as media options for 95 academicians such as authors, lecturers, even students, to produce acceptable works. With the correct and honesty of scientific works, then validity can be ensured. The data were figured out by adopting a descriptive qualitative design and compiled in consideration of 4 months, beginning from arranging pre-survey and post-survey in January to April 2022. The findings affirmed that Turnitin has many benefits to check sentences that consist of plagiarism, mark with different colors, and detect the source of website and copy-paste; to check plagiarism on the students’ tasks such as thesis, homework, article, and Mendeley presents some advantages to create a citation and reference manager used by the study and academician in citing references, especially from journals; to help them create bibliography and cite what they wrote; and to collect, arrange, share, and use the references related researches. Then Grammar Checker also provides some advantages, namely to check spelling, punctuation, and grammar structure automatically; to check the mistakes such as run-on sentences, accuracy, and consistency of the text. They employed the coherence pattern of deductive and inductive paragraphs containing complete elements of the claim, support, and warrant, including several strategies; definition strategy, comparative strategy, cause-effect, problem-solution strategy, means-end, listing, and partiting strategy. The results highlight that creating appropriate, standard scientific publications, adopting applicable coherence properties and contextual academic publishing were the requirements of an academician.

Abstract

Identifying research gaps from the extensive reading process is an inevitable choice for researchers in any field. This study aims to explore various approaches in identifying research gaps that have the potential to become elements of novelty. By using a grounded theory approach, the research reconstructs the cognitive experiences of a number of Indonesian expert authors in identifying research gaps. The results show that scientific journals as the primary source are accessed from the subscription data center; discuss and conduct knowledge sharing with expert groups; bibliography mapping by establishing a basic reference to avoid getting out of the focus of the research topic; state of the art and novelty elements will be seen from the extensive reading; using software to synthesize the literature review. It concludes that the research gap as the forerunner of the novelty element can only be done through an extensive reading process. Through extensive reading allows researchers or scientific writers to find many research gaps that can be explored.
