Topik: summarizing; journal articles; challenges Fulltext: hal 309.pdf (9.39MB) Isi artikel In this paper I would like to explore how the students were able to accomplish summaries of research articles from open access journal including the challenges encountered by the master students of English department of Mulawarman University in the academic writing course. It is expected they are able to use the summarized articles for their thesis proposal. The students are experienced English teachers, novice teachers, and graduated students from undergraduate program who are unfamiliar with reading academic texts especially the journal articles. The data of this study were gathered from self-report of during each process of skimming and scanning, skimming and scanning, highlighting and noting, paraphrasing, and summarizing. The students have to select their own research topic, find main ideas or key words, highlight and note important points of each paragraph of the articles gathered from the credible open access journals. Paraphrasing and summarizing were the following steps to be completed. The results revealed that the students encountered difficulties in reading in terms of vocabulary, sentence structure, and unfamiliarity with the article topics. Reading journal articles was uncommon for them leading to confusion. Furthermore, they lack of knowledge which part of the articles should be underlined. This provides some suggestion that strengthening students reading of journal articles should receive more attention. This could be done by teaching them to read journal article from the undergraduate program. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
