Role And Function

TThis paper discusses barriers to the development of academic writing, in the area of teacher education in UK higher education . We first situate these issues in a higher education context increasingly defined by new technologies and diverse cohorts of higher education students. Drawing on empirical data obtained from interviews with both students and teachers (N=21), we then critically examine a range of perspectives on the definition, role and function of academic literacy in this contemporary context. Findings include useful insights into the development of writing skills and teacher identity, but they also reveal fundamental differences in the epistemological presuppositions of those teaching academic writing. These accounts are reflected in significant differences in pedagogy, and raise important questions for practice which, although potentially irresolvable, may help to explain some of the difficulties which emerge when trying to teach academic writing. Such fundamental issues, we argue, need to be at least recognized if  teachers hope to develop the writing capacity of trainee teachers in an academic context.

This research applied for the library based work where the data was taken by using document analysis and interview. Findings - The result of the research showed that the numbers of students were still difficult to construct the idea cohesively and coherently. The result of the students’ understanding on coherence and cohesion showed that there were 59% students who were considered in need to improve and also followed by good work and could be better with 27% and 14% respectively. It can be explained that students were lack of ability to write the idea smoothly and grammatically correct. The interview result showed that there were three main reasons for this. Those are lack of motivation, limited lecture duration and prior English knowledge. Originality/value - coherence and cohesion are parts of academic writing that should be mastered by students in order to create a good thesis. Specifically for the students who will graduate from Higher Education. Paper type – Research paper

Plagiarism has become a stressful problem in the academic world. In higher education, students must write a scientific paper that is free from plagiarism. Many referencing styles are offered to enable the writers to produce the proper scientific works. This study aimed to produce a module on academic writing for English department students. The module focused on writing citations based on APA style references, including in-text citation, paraphrasing, and summarizing. It was a research and development study that involved fifth-semester students. The samples were selected purposively.
