An Analysis of Sentence Length and Pattern of Research Article Discussion Section by International Authors in Applied Linguistics Published in International Journals
No full textThe discussion section of a research article serves to explain and highlight the importance of the study’s results in relation to the existing knowledge surrounding the research problem. This section should be given more attention since the researcher would give his ideas through his own words and sentences. Accordingly, this research attempts to discover the sentence length and pattern in the discussion section of a research article by international authors in applied linguistics published in international journals. The method used in this study was a descriptive qualitative study to discover and describe the data. The total number of articles in this study was 30 from six international accredited journals sites indexed by corpus (Q1). The first result indicated that the most frequent types were Medium and Long sentences. It may imply that the authors are willing to write efficient sentences by combining two or more simple sentences to deliver ideas more informatively. The second result indicated that the most frequent types of sentence patterns were Simple and Complex sentences. The authors tended to make simple sentences to help the readers understand the ideas and thought more easily. The authors created complex sentences to make the discussion more efficient and to avoid the redundant of the same sentences or repetition. The third result indicated that RELC articles had the highest frequency of long sentences among all five different journals. The fourth result indicated that RELC articles had the lowest frequency of simple sentences and a relatively frequent number of complex sentences among the five different journals. In contrast, GEMA articles had the highest frequency of simple sentences and a relatively small number of complex sentences. In conclusion, even though the five journals are classified as Quartile 1, they still had differences

No full textIn the contemporary digital era, social media constitutes a significant and pervasive element of students' daily experiences, especially within the domain of foreign language acquisition. This qualitative narrative inquiry sought to comprehensively explore the nuanced effects of various social media applications on the writing abilities of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students enrolled at Universitas Islam Negeri Antasari, Banjarmasin. This study focused on three English education students who were chosen because they actively use social media and are learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Researchers gathered information through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and narrative frameworks to understand their personal experiences. The data were analyzed using narrative analysis to find common themes and important insights. The results show that popular social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter help students improve their writing. Students gained more vocabulary, felt more confident expressing themselves in English, and saw real examples of English in different situations. Still, the study found some downsides, including students using more informal language, having fewer opportunities for face-to-face interaction, and spending too much time on their phones. The study concludes with teaching suggestions that offer ways to make the most of social media’s benefits while reducing its negative effects in EFL writing classes

No full textThis study aims to analyze the role of disability services in enhancing information accessibility at the National Library of Indonesia (PNRI). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that PNRI provides specialized facilities such as Braille collections, audiobooks, screen readers, dedicated reading rooms, and computers equipped with text to-speech technology to support users with disabilities. However, these services have not fully adhered to the standards set by the IFLA Checklist. Key challenges include limitations in physical infrastructure, funding, adaptive technologies, and librarians' competencies in offering inclusive and disability-friendly services. The study also highlights that the majority of service usage is concentrated among visually impaired users, with less engagement from other disability groups such as hearing-impaired or physically disabled users. Recommendations include enhancing librarians' skills through continuous training, improving physical and technological infrastructure, and fostering strategic collaborations with disability communities and organizations. A more systematic and inclusive approach is expected to improve service quality and broaden accessibility, stablishing PNRI as a truly inclusive information institution
