English Scholarly Publishing Activities in the Industrial Revolution 4.0: What, Why, and How?
Get PDFÂ The presence of the Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 has inevitably affected the way how scholars proceed to write. Thus, activities intended to yield a piece of scientific writing facilitated by the obtainability and accessibility of internet browsing is called scholarly publishing. Since English has indisputably become the language of international scholarship and research, it is urgent to have the skill in writing scientific articles benefitting the support from IR 4.0 principles. What is going on with academics and what should they do dealing with the IR 4.0 pertinent to their scholarly writing activities, benefits, and drawbacks. This paper discusses what scholarly publishing in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and how it supports the process of writing articles for publishing. The purposes of this paper are to explain (1). What are scholarly publishing and industrial revolution? (2). Why is it essential for academics? (3) How does writing scholarly publication in Industrial Revolution 4.0 work? Writing the scholarly publication in English has become obligatory for Teacher-Educator Authors (TEAs) and undergraduate students to doctoral students in Indonesia. The study was a descriptive qualitative library to build a conceptual paper for the purpose of a further study. The method was by reviewing any related kinds of literature to provide sufficient arguments for the three research questions. The outcome is several claims, arguments, and evidence gambits for any author to consider. Theoretically, the IR 4.0 principles have significantly eased the flexibility of the process, the quality, and the credibility of research outputs
INVESTIGATING THE INDONESIAN EFL STUDENTS’ ARGUMENT IN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY
Get PDFThis study investigates the written test results of the Indonesian undergraduate students’ argumentative essay. For that reason, three research questions are made. 1). what is the level of achievement of the students in the argumentative essay quantitatively? 2). what aspects of an essay appear in respect to the argumentative essay generic structure as formulated? 3). how well did they use the rhetoric reputation and argument in their essay?. 27 handwriting' answer sheets of undergraduate English Department students enrolled at semester four of a state university in Indonesia were taken purposively. The data analysis uses a quantitative and qualitative approach. The results show that the students quantitatively achieved average score 76,74 which means good. All parts of generic structures were expressed in different quality. However; the organization of the essay is the lowest part compared to the other four parts respectively content, vocabulary, and language use seen from their segmented scores. This study is confirmed to be inline the previous study in that the majority of the students did not present the refutation section in both their English essays. This implies that teachers should be more aware of promoting this absent aspect as this refutation or rebuttal is a distinguishing marker in argumentative and discussion essays
RESPONSES TOWARD INDUCTIVE AND DEDUCTIVE METHOD IN TEACHING WRITING
Get PDFThis study discusses the effects of inductive and deductive approaches in teaching writing to students' understanding and learning achievements at the 2011 Academic Year Muhammaadiyah University of Metro. This approach is like the teacher centered learning model, a student-centered learning model (Students Centered Approach). To illustrate the effects of this approach, researchers conducted research with the Lesson Study approach in which the inductive and deductive approaches were applied sequentially and separately. There are 44 UM Metro semester III students who are taken as the research subjects. They experienced the teaching and learning process in two cycles: the first cycle with an inductive approach and the second cycle with a deductive approach. The purpose of this research is to describe and explore how deep the effects of the inductive and deductive approaches are. The results showed that the deductive approach proved to be more effective and had a positive effect on the comprehension of students' understanding in the writing subject 2 with a ratio of 23.8% positive for the inductive approach and 58.2% positive for the deductive approach. It implies that the deductive approach mainly occupy the mindset of the Indonesian EFL students
RETHINKING ACADEMIC ESSAY WRITING: SELECTED GENRES IN COMPARISON
Get PDFHow do opinion, discussion, and argumentative convince readers? How does each of them look different from each other seen from the generic structure, and language use? This conceptual paper is exploring how three selected genres in academic writing differ from each other. By reviewing journals of related topic of recently published, the writer convinces that opinion genre is less strong in persuading readers, and argumentative is very strong in assuring readers, whereas discussion is neutral in affecting readers The implication is that each genre has its own place to make readers satisfied and each of which indicates the level of ego and sophisticated countering back the statement called rebuttal and arguments and example. By reading this article readers will detect the tone of each genre and to what extent does each genre reach the readers’ mind. The implication is that any teacher or lecturer is best recommended to present this model, particularly in EFL context.
Promoting Students\u27 Participation through Cooperative Learning in the EFL classroom in Indonesia and Thailand
No full textThis thesis explores the dimension of cooperative learning in school that I taught in Indonesia and Thailand. The class I taught, in Indonesia and in Thailand, involved a lot group work in all grades. I assumed that the group work was “cooperative learning,” at that time. I applied a lot of group because I believe that learning is a socio-cultural interaction promoting linguistics achievement. Besides, I had always faced a critical situation where my classes consisted of many students. Each classroom was about 25 to 40 students and the average class was 30 students.
The group work I applied in Indonesia and Thailand left me with the following questions. Were all activities using group work matters of cooperative learning? What were the indications, nature, elements, and principles of cooperative learning in those classes?
This thesis will answer the question, “How could cooperative learning work in Indonesia and Thailand to promote students’ participation?” With this theory I will justify what kind of learning my students did in Indonesia and Thailand. Plus, I will also construct some lesson plans to show practical application of the theory. I will present innovative solution about cooperative learning in the classroom by reflecting on my teaching experience.
In order to answer the research question, I did research by reviewing some related-literature, and reflecting on both teaching notes in Indonesia, from 1994 to 2005 and Thailand, from January to February 2008. I will measure the extent to which the teaching in my practicum was a matter of cooperative learning according to the theories reviewed. Furthermore, the reviewed theories will form a foundation for my future teaching. The result of research on both literature and reflections will be a lesson learned from which I will conclude; what worked and what did not work, and what I should do to make my teaching more effective.
I found that cooperative learning in my EFL class was not like that in the ESL classes of concern in the literature reviewed. However ; both have the positive impact in that cooperative learning has significantly promoted students’ increase in participation and has improved achievement in all skills they learned. The receptive skills such as listening and reading are the most significant achievements and the productive skills such as speaking and writing are less than the receptive skills. It is clear that I applied some principles of cooperative learning in Indonesia and Thailand although the level was shallow due to my limited knowledge at that time.
The impact of this finding, therefore, encourages me to do more and use this approach to enrich the learners’ achievement in learning language through participation in cooperative learning
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
