<p>The present study explored pre-service teachers’ self-regulated learning strategy<br />and motivation in EFL academic writing. A further aim of the study is to<br />investigate the relationship between their self-regulated learning strategy and<br />motivation as well as to explore the revision behaviors in English academic<br />writing. A questionnaire was administered to 56 pre-service teachers (PST)<br />majoring English language education. The questionnaire covered 16 items of<br />questions regarding self-regulated learning strategy comprising environmental<br />process, behavioral process, and personal process, as well as motivation. PSTs’<br />revisions of academic writing were also assessed using writing revision categories<br />to identify their revision behaviors. Descriptive analyses indicated that<br />participants were moderate to high in their self-regulated learning strategy and<br />motivation toward their writing activities. Furthermore, the result showed that<br />despite the fact that self-regulated learning strategy in the aspect of environmental<br />strategy and personal strategy did not significantly correlate with motivation,<br />behavioral strategy significantly correlated with motivation. In addition to this,<br />among the revision categories, the aspects of organization, citation, mechanics,<br />language use, and references were the most common categories of revisions,<br />while content and format were the least ones. The study might have implication<br />on the PST’s EFL academic writing instruction.<br />Keywords: self-regulated learning strategy, motivation, revision, EFL academic<br />writing</p>

Argumentative Texts

This study aims at examining the writing skills of a group of Indonesian graduate students of English. A particular attention has been focused on the coherence of their production of argumentative texts. Employing a discourse analytical case study, three texts written by three Master’s degree students of the English language education at a local university in Central Java, Indonesia, were analyzed. Coherence and cohesion is inextricable in which both are crucial in academic writing as to achieve a makes-sense text. Therefore, it is an urgent need to look at the writing competency of students as they are at graduate level, majoring in the English language education. The texts produced by the students were scrutinized through the lens of micro- and macro-level coherence (Thornburry, 2005). From this theory, cohesion is involved in micro level coherence. The findings indicate that the students show a bit weakness on achieving coherent texts due to lack of optimization of cohesive devices especially conjunctions to create interconnectedness of the whole sentences in the texts.

Lexical Bundles

Studies related to the ubiquity of lexical bundles used by undergraduate and graduate students in writing their academic writing, more specifically skripsi and thesis, seems to be limited. As an important defining feature of academic discourse and a significant component of fluent linguistic production, its existence in writing not only can contribute coherence in a text but also can determine the writing ability of a writer, either professional or novice one (Hyland, 2012, p. 166; Cortes, 2004, p. 397). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct this study in order to know the most frequent forms, structures, and functions of lexical bundles used by undergraduate and graduate students in composing their skripsi and thesis. It was revealed that (1) graduate students use more varied bundles rather than undergraduate students; (2) both students tend to use the same structure of noun phrase with of fragment bundles; (3) undergraduate students tend to use research-oriented bundles, while graduate students prefer to use more text-oriented bundle.
