A corpus of ten introductions in the field of soft and hard science (five introductions each) was analyzed based on Swales' (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model. Findings were obtained through analyzing the moves and steps, as well as the linguistic realizations of the introductions. The analysis reveals that while Step 1 of Move 3 was an obligatory step, Step 1B of Move 2 and Step 2 of Move 3 were absent in both corpora. In addition, Step 1 of Move 2 was obligatory in soft science but was conventional in soft science corpus. Regarding linguistic features, the results show the influence of the different disciplines on the manifestation of metadiscoursal units (hedges and boosters) to enact the moves across the corpora, whereas no significant discrepancy was identified in the use of verb tense and sentence voice. The findings provide a better understanding of the rhetorical structure of research article introductions for and has pedagogical implications for the writing courses of Indonesian novice scholars.

Rhetorical Move Analysis of Science and Engineering Abstracts Rejected in a Scopus-Indexed Journal

While myriad research on rhetorical move analysis of research article abstracts has been conducted, an inadequate amount of them has probed onto rejected research article abstracts, specifically using a cross-disciplinary lens. This study aims to uncover the rhetorical organization and linguistic features of science and sngineering abstracts by utilizing Hyland's (2000) rhetorical structure. The method of this research is used as the nature of this research rooted from discourse analysis. A total of eighteen rejected abstracts were retrieved from Indonesian Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST). The findings revealed that all of Hyland's moves were found in both dataset where the move occurrences were identical to one another. However, significant differences existed in step occurrences, particularly in Step 4 of Move 1, Step 1*, 1, and 2 of Move 3, and Step 1 and 2 of Move 5. Engineering studies considered Introduction, Purpose, and Method as obligatory moves, while science studies viewed Purpose as a conventional move of the three. Pattern-wise, science applied two configurations, while engineering used three. Regarding the linguistic features, present tense and active voice were dominant across the disciplines. Furthemore, it was observed that the conventionality of abstract writing had not been properly performed in the rejected abstracts. This research is hoped to provide an insightful source on rejected research article abstracts to future researchers.

A Move Analysis of Abstracts in a Scopus-indexed Applied Linguistics Journal from Different Quartiles

Publishing in an international journal with a reputable index such as Scopus, in particular, has gained a significant emphasis. Despite this fact, studies on the rhetorical organization of the abstract section of a research article (RA) through the perspective of Scopus journal quartiles remain scant. Driven by the gap in literature, this study aims to examine whether journal's quartile affects the rhetorical organization and linguistic realizations of the abstracts. A corpus of 40 RA abstracts was obtained from one Scopus-indexed applied linguistics journal, which over the years, had improvements in terms of its quartiles. The abstracts were divided into three groups: each representing different quartiles of the journal (i.e., Q2, Q3, Q4). Employing a comparative approach using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, Hyland's (2000) model of rhetorical organization was employed as the main framework to code the rhetorical moves, whereas a statistical analysis (i.e., Z-test) was performed on the moves and steps' occurrences. The findings showed that there is a significant difference in the steps' occurrence and tense realization between the groups, indicating that to some extent, the journal's quartile indeed played a role. The study offers recommendations for further research.

Authors’ Affiliation Influence Towards Rhetorical Moves and Linguistic Features of Rejected Raas

A plethora of research has analyzed the rhetorical moves and linguistic features of accepted RAAs. Nevertheless, almost none of them have explored the rejected one, based on the authors’ affiliation. Invoking Hyland’s (2000) rhetorical move model as the main instrument, this study intends to dismantle and fill up those lacunas by utilizing 31 rejected RAAs in total from Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL), submitted in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The data were then separated into the same affiliation (13 abstracts) and different affiliation (18 abstracts) groups in order to find the commonality and discrepancy in the rhetorical move and linguistic features (i.e. tenses, voice, and grammatical subjects). As a result, the authors’ affiliation had some influences on the ...

A plethora of studies involving abstracts’ rhetorical moves has previously been published, but scant attention has been given to the relationship between the rhetorical moves and authors’ nationalities. This study is aimed at comparing the rhetorical moves and linguistic realizations of abstracts by authors of different nationalities. This study analyzed 30 hard sciences abstracts written by national and international authors published in the International Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST). Hyland’s (2000) model of rhetorical moves was employed as the framework of analysis. Findings showed that both groups similarly spent more space in manifesting the method and findings moves. However significant differences were evident in the steps of the introduction and method moves. National authors considered the conclusion move as optional, whereas the other moves in both g...

A number of studies have reported the use of lexical bundles in various sections of research articles, including introductions as the holder of research rationale. In spite of that, attention is barely paid to the comparison between accepted and rejected manuscripts. With the intention to fill this gap, this study is aimed at investigating whether the manifestation of lexical bundles will differ between the introduction sections of accepted and rejected research articles in applied linguistics. A total of 15 introductions for each data group were analyzed under the frameworks of lexical bundles structures (Biber et al., 2004) and functions (Hyland, 2008). Findings reveal that noun phrase-based and research-oriented bundles were respec...

A plethora of previous studies have discussed the importance of a genre-approach move analysis because the analysis results can provide a picture of the typical conventions of research article writing across disciplines. Purpose. Nursing as a professional discipline, however, has received scant attention, particularly in the abstract section in the journals with different indexation. To fill such an empirical void, this qualitative study probes the notion of whether journal indexation matters in manifesting the rhetorical moves in the nursing abstracts. Methods. Fifty abstracts from a Scopus-indexed Q1 journal and another 50 from three Sintaindexed journals in Indonesia were analyzed manually. This study employed a descriptive comparative approach to analyze and present the data. Results and Implications. The findings demonstrated conformity manifestations of method and results moves along with their linguistic realizations by using simple past tense in active or passive forms. The article abstracts from the Scopus-indexed nursing journal emphasized the novelty of the research more than their counterparts from the identification of gap of previous research and highlighting the significance of the study. Implications: This study provides the textual evidence of the affirmation of the contributing role of journal indexation type in projecting a higher standard of abstract writing.

To occupy such an empirical void, the present study explores the use of Arabic lexicon in Sundanese language variety spoken by the indigenous people of the Dukuh Village in Cikelet District, Garut Regency, Indonesia. Embracing an ethnolinguistic lens, this study sought to specifically examine the use of their Arabic lexicon, lexical meanings, contextual meanings, and cultural phenomena surrounding the use. A corpus from daily spoken interactions involving ten informants and monologs from elderlies in the Dukuh community serves as the data to be qualitatively analyzed. The results demonstrate that the Arabic loanwords appear in a relatively significant amount of their Sundanese language, 7.37% of the total words in the corpus. Some of the Arabic lexicons retain their meanings identical to those in the source language. However, some have been contextualized so that their meanings somewhat deviated from those of the source language. The Arabic words are evidently found in three main cultural phenomena, i.e., ideas, activities, and artifacts.

Twenty-one hijabers' self-portraits were examined through a digital ethnographic method that used semistructured face-to-face interviews and participant observations at various hijabers' community events in Indonesia. Findings reveal that "being the real me" is the hijabers' claim to project their self-portrait authenticity. This claim is shaped by Indonesian social norms and Islamic values. The hijabers are curating a version of authenticity that is designed to be culturally acceptable. Therefore, this study provides a new understanding of how Indonesian hijabers' negotiation of authenticity on Instagram is subjected to a collectivistic culture.

However, teachers who pose questions as a part of the teaching-learning strategy in the class may gain different outputs. A descriptive qualitative study is carried out to find out the types of questions that dominantly posed by a teacher in the intensive listening course at an institute of Islamic studies in Ponorogo. A lecturer and her class took part as participants on the study. Class observations, videotape observation, and interviews were utilized to gather the data. The revised Bloom’s taxonomy process verbs, assessment and questioning strategies was employed to analyze the data. The finding shows that the lecturer spent 73.8 percent of her questions on remembering, 17.8 percent on the understanding level, 5.9 percent on analyzing, and 2.9 percent on the evaluating level. It indicates that her questions were dominated by a ...

It also serves as a determining point whether the reader decides to continue reading the text. Some of the previous studies examined abstracts based on the background of the writers as an expert-novice and a native-non-native. Meanwhile, this study presents research in progress on rhetorical moves of accepted research article (RA) abstracts, influenced by the different forms of collaboration which may have different realizations of abstract rhetorical patterns and linguistic features, i.e., voice and tense. Six abstracts of Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL) articles published in 2020 and 2021 were selected. The selected abstracts are compared based on Hyland's (2000) theory of rhetorical move analysis. The data are taken from those written by lecturers of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) and those by UPI's lecturers and other Indonesian universities' lecturers. The results of this study revealed differences in rhetorical moves and steps. On the other hand, the linguistics features in selected abstracts showed similarities in terms of tense and voice. Implications of the present research findings to English for academic writing courses and journal writing workshops will be discussed.

Rhetorical Move and Linguistic Features Comparative Analysis of Research Article Abstracts by Authors of Different Organizational Backgrounds

Previous studies have quite extensively looked at the rhetorical structure of abstract, specifically comparing abstracts of different fields of study, languages, and authors' background. However, inquiries that especially examine the extent to which the authors' organizational affiliations may reflect the rhetorical organization and linguistic features of their research articles' abstracts have escaped attention. This study aims to compare the rhetorical moves and linguistic features of research article abstracts by authors with different organizational affiliations. The abstracts represented in this study were all published in Indonesian Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST) and were Scopusindexed. A total of six abstracts were chosen to be analyzed in which the authors of three abstracts were affiliated with Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) while the other three were affiliated with other universities. Hyland's (2000) model was employed to analyze the rhetorical organization of the abstracts. The findings revealed that the rhetorical move with the highest number of occurrences is Move 1-Introduction, and the move with the least number of occurrences is Move 5-Conclusion. Furthermore, the use of present tense and active voice was dominant in all six abstracts. The final results and findings of this study is expected to carve an in-depth insight for related future studies within this scope of analysis and is meant to act as a guideline for novice academic writers in constructing RA abstracts.

However, along with the development of technology, the EFL classrooms have integrated technology as a tool for teachers and students to achieve learning goals. This study attempts to investigate the re-contextualization of genre-based pedagogy in the technology-integrated classroom. This study follows a qualitative research design that focused on phenomenology research design in order to explore the teachers' experience in implementing the genre-based pedagogy with technology in teaching writing. This study involved two English teachers from Junior High School in Bandung, West Java. The data was obtained from the in-depth interviews and then analysed qualitatively by transcribing the data interview and drawing conclusions. The result of this study showed that teachers have conducted the stages of genre-based pedagogy properly with technology-assisted. The use of technology tools in teaching writing can make students develop their background knowledge about some texts in a particular genre and also constructed purposeful and creative writing. Therefore, the implementation of genre-based pedagogy with technology in teaching writing has an important role to increase students' literacy skills.

Twenty-one hijabers' self-portraits were examined through a digital ethnographic method that used semistructured face-to-face interviews and participant observations at various hijabers' community events in Indonesia. Findings reveal that "being the real me" is the hijabers' claim to project their self-portrait authenticity. This claim is shaped by Indonesian social norms and Islamic values. The hijabers are curating a version of authenticity that is designed to be culturally acceptable. Therefore, this study provides a new understanding of how Indonesian hijabers' negotiation of authenticity on Instagram is subjected to a collectivistic culture.

A corpus of ten introductions in the field of soft and hard science (five introductions each) was analyzed based on Swales' (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model. Findings were obtained through analyzing the moves and steps, as well as the linguistic realizations of the introductions. The analysis reveals that while Step 1 of Move 3 was an obligatory step, Step 1B of Move 2 and Step 2 of Move 3 were absent in both corpora. In addition, Step 1 of Move 2 was obligatory in soft science but was conventional in soft science corpus. Regarding linguistic features, the results show the influence of the different disciplines on the manifestation of metadiscoursal units (hedges and boosters) to enact the moves across the corpora, whe...

It also serves as a determining point whether the reader decides to continue reading the text. Some of the previous studies examined abstracts based on the background of the writers as an expert-novice and a native-non-native. Meanwhile, this study presents research in progress on rhetorical moves of accepted research article (RA) abstracts, influenced by the different forms of collaboration which may have different realizations of abstract rhetorical patterns and linguistic features, i.e., voice and tense. Six abstracts of Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL) articles published in 2020 and 2021 were selected. The selected abstracts are compared based on Hyland's (2000) theory of rhetorical move analysis. The data are taken from those written by lecturers of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) and those by UPI's lecturers and other Indonesian universities' lecturers. The results of this study revealed differences in rhetorical moves and steps. On the other hand, the linguistics features in selected abstracts showed similarities in terms of tense and voice. Implications of the present research findings to English for academic writing courses and journal writing workshops will be discussed.

Rhetorical Move and Linguistic Features Comparative Analysis of Research Article Abstracts by Authors of Different Organizational Backgrounds

Previous studies have quite extensively looked at the rhetorical structure of abstract, specifically comparing abstracts of different fields of study, languages, and authors' background. However, inquiries that especially examine the extent to which the authors' organizational affiliations may reflect the rhetorical organization and linguistic features of their research articles' abstracts have escaped attention. This study aims to compare the rhetorical moves and linguistic features of research article abstracts by authors with different organizational affiliations. The abstracts represented in this study were all published in Indonesian Journal of Science and Technology (IJoST) and were Scopusindexed. A total of six abstracts were chosen to be analyzed in which the authors of three abstracts were affiliated with Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) while the other three were affiliated with other universities. Hyland's (2000) model was employed to analyze the rhetorical organization of the abstracts. The findings revealed that the rhetorical move with the highest number of occurrences is Move 1-Introduction, and the move with the least number of occurrences is Move 5-Conclusion. Furthermore, the use of present tense and active voice was dominant in all six abstracts. The final results and findings of this study is expected to carve an in-depth insight for related future studies within this scope of analysis and is meant to act as a guideline for novice academic writers in constructing RA abstracts.

However, along with the development of technology, the EFL classrooms have integrated technology as a tool for teachers and students to achieve learning goals. This study attempts to investigate the re-contextualization of genre-based pedagogy in the technology-integrated classroom. This study follows a qualitative research design that focused on phenomenology research design in order to explore the teachers' experience in implementing the genre-based pedagogy with technology in teaching writing. This study involved two English teachers from Junior High School in Bandung, West Java. The data was obtained from the in-depth interviews and then analysed qualitatively by transcribing the data interview and drawing conclusions. The result of this study showed that teachers have conducted the stages of genre-based pedagogy properly with technology-assisted. The use of technology tools in teaching writing can make students develop their background knowledge about some texts in a particular genre and also constructed purposeful and creative writing. Therefore, the implementation of genre-based pedagogy with technology in teaching writing has an important role to increase students' literacy skills.
