CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the introduction of the study. It covers the background of the
study, focusing on the motivation behind the study, related research under the
topic of investigation and the importance of the conduct of the study. The rest of
the chapter highlights the aims of the study, research questions, the scope of the
study, the significance of the study, the clarification of the term central to the
study and the organization of the thesis.
1.1 Background
This study was concerned with the use of text-based syllabus design in teaching
academic writing, especially research paper. It explored the process of text-based
syllabus design and its application in the classroom and found any gaps (if any)
between the design of the syllabus and its application. The study also investigated teacher’s strategies in anticipating the gaps if occurred.
This study was conducted based on a problem faced by one non English
department lecturer of one public university in Bandung, Indonesia, in writing a
research paper in English. This problem was identified based on a preliminary
interview and a diagnostic test prior to the study. The result of the interview and
diagnostic test showed that writing a research paper in English in general and
research paper abstract in particular, for non English learners including lecturers is
a big issue. Furthermore, The result of interview and diagnostic writing showed
that her problems when writing a research paper lay in: (1) ideas presentation in
standard or acceptable English determining that most ideas conveyed are
Indonesian- English translation; (2) limited function of phrases usage; and (3)

element of research paper and in the application of cohesive devices in the
writing.
The importance of syllabus in the teaching learning process has been noted
by many researchers such as Richards (2001), Brown (1995), Dubin and Olshtain
(1986), Nunan (1988) and Krahnke (1987). The syllabus organizes systematically
the course and the materials and is used as a map or guide for teachers and
learners in the teaching learning process by selecting and sequencing content
based on explicit objectives (Brown, 1995; Richards, 2001; Kranhke, 1987; Dubin
and Olshtain, 1986; Nunan, 1988; Finney in Richards and Renandya, 2002; and
Feez and Joyce, 1998). These objectives and contents, as a result of needs
analysis, define types of syllabus; whether, it is functional, structural, task-based
or notional (Kranhke, 1987).
Among those types of syllabi, text-based design is the central issue of this
study. It has been used in Australian language education system since 1980 (Joyce
and Feez, 2012: 113) and is a response to changing views of language and
language learning by incorporating an increasing understanding of how language
is structured and how language is used in social contexts (Feez and Joyce, 1998).
Its primary concern is on what learners do with language, centering on units of
discourse called texts (ibid) and these whole texts in context are taken as the
organizing principle for syllabus design (Tindale, 2003). In line with it, text-based
syllabus design working cycle operates on genre-based teaching of writing by
Callaghan and Rothery (1988) and is built on a social view of language and a
functional model of language in which texts are socially and purposefully
constructed (Thai, 2009; Feez and Joyce, 1998). Further details on the text-based
syllabus design are presented in chapter 2, section of literature review.
Studies in text-based syllabus design have also shown its application in
varying contexts. Kucherenko (2013) reported on the use of text-based syllabus
as one of the integrated syllabus elements in the teaching of English for Academic
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
Higher schools of Economics in Russia. Previously, another study was conducted
by Haghighi (2012) in the same field but different setting. His study was
conducted to 120 first-year undergraduate engineering students from two EAP
classes at one university in Iran and suggested the use of text-based syllabus
design as one of the eclectic approaches in assisting students with their EOP
practices including report reading/ writing and development of technical
vocabulary knowledge. This is in line with a study conducted by Flowerdew
(2005) illustrating the application of text-based syllabus in the delivery stage of
teaching learning in an EOP-oriented course by integrating this syllabus with
task-based and content-based. Finally, Abbaszadeh (2013) suggested the use of
text-based syllabus to develop communicative competence in the areas of English
for Specific Purposes (ESP) and English for Academic Purposes (EAP).
Most of those studies have been devoted to the use of text-based syllabus
design in EOP-oriented scheme; reflecting specific field in English for Academic
Purposes (EAP) revealing similar education level of participants, who are
university students, and concerning same focuses that are report writing and
technical vocabulary knowledge. Other than that, the use of text-based syllabus
design in several studies aforementioned is integrated with other types of syllabi,
if not; its use is compared with another type of approach. Less attention has been
paid to its application in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) that focuses more
on research paper writing, particularly those occurred in Indonesian setting,
especially with those learners from non English department.
Since research paper writing is one of English for Academic Purposes
(EAP) and is considered important especially for academia, the use of a text-based
syllabus design as one alternative in teaching academic writing centering on
research paper is therefore worth trying. Thus, this study was conducted to serve
this purpose and aimed at exploring the process of text-based syllabus design and
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
the text-based syllabus and its use in the classroom, and describing teacher’s
strategies in anticipating the gaps.
1.2 Aims of the Study
As aforementioned, the study was conducted in order to attain the following aims.
1. To identify whether text-based syllabus design can enhance the learner’s
performance in writing research paper.
2. To find out whether there are gaps between the text-based syllabus design and
its use in the classroom.
3. To explore teacher’s strategies when anticipating the gaps if occurred.
1.3 Research Questions
In line with the aims above, the study was conducted to answer the following
research questions.
1. Can text-based syllabus design enhance the learner’s performance in writing research paper?
2. Are there any gaps between the design of text-based syllabus and its use in the
classroom?
3. If there are any gaps, how does the teacher anticipate the gaps?
1.4 Scope of the Study
The study investigated the process of text-based syllabus design and its use in
academic writing class, centering on research paper writing. When designing the
syllabus, a framework suggested by Feez and Joyce (1998) was used. The content
of the syllabus only focused on research paper abstract due to limited space in the
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
others are Swales and Feak (2004), Bem (2003), Emilia (2009), Clare and
Hamilton (2004), Paltridge (2002), Paltridge and Stairfield (2007) and Wallwork
(2011).
Further, in its implementation, the study employed three main stages of
text-based methodology as outlined by Feez (2002), Feez and Joyce (1998), Joyce
and Feez (2012) and Emilia (2011), encompassing modeling stage, joint
construction and independent construction. The stage was applied in this study
owing to the fact that lecturer as the participant of this study is likely to have some
knowledge on research paper writing and that research paper writing has been a
part of her academic life so that background knowledge of field as the most
common stage to start is skipped. Other than that, the topic for research paper
writing was predetermined including language education and linguistics.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The study is significant to the theory, the educational practice and the professional
development of English education especially to the development of English for
Academic Purposes in Indonesian context. In relation to the first significance, the
study is projected to be able to enrich the literature of syllabus design in the
context of EAP teaching in Indonesian setting and in foreign language context in
general. Second, in terms of educational practice, the result of the study will
enhance practitioners in education in terms of choices enrichment of syllabus
design that are in line with the needs of the students and alternative solutions to
make better teaching practices in EAP setting. Finally, regarding the area of professional development, this study is expected to increase EAP teachers’ awareness on the importance of the right type of syllabus chosen for teaching and
that these need to be well –prepared as well as the realization of being creative
and productive teachers through materials development especially in EAP setting

1.6 Operational Definition
Text-based syllabus refers to a type of mixed syllabus that draws on the systematic functional model language that incorporates an increasing
understanding of language how language is structured and how language is
used in social contexts (Feez and Joyce, 1998; Joyce & Feez, 2012) which is
selected and organized around the texts its social contexts (Richards, 2001,
Feez, 2002).
Research paper is defined as a scholarly article that contains the results of original research or an evaluation of research conducted by others which then
undergo a process of peer review before they can be accepted for publication
in an academic journal (Winkler & Metherell, 2012).
1.7 Outline of the Thesis
The next chapters of the thesis are illustrated as follows. Chapter II discusses
theories that underpin the study. These include three major theories including
theories of syllabus, focusing more on text- based syllabus design, theories of
text-based implementation and theories of research paper. The first theory
includes definition of syllabus, importance of syllabus, elements of syllabus,
principles of syllabus design and types of syllabus in general. The first theory
mainly outlines definition of text-based syllabus, foundation of text-based
syllabus, design of text-based syllabus, negotiation of text-based syllabus,
planning the lesson in the research site and resourcing instructional materials in
text-based program. The second theory covers the implementation of text-based
syllabus, criticisms of text-based syllabus, description of differences or gaps
between the plan, the syllabus and the actual implementation and the program
assessment based on text-based syllabus design. The final theory contains
definition of research paper, elements of research paper, and contents of each
element of research paper. Chapter III elaborates methodology of the study that

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
This chapter delineates the methodology used in the study that covers the purpose
of the study, research questions, research design and research method, research
settings and participants, data collection and data analysis. The chapter is ended
with the summary of the topics under discussion.
3.1 Aims of the Study
As outlined in chapter I, the study was carried out in order to attain the following
aims.
1. To identify whether text-based syllabus design can enhance the learner‟s
performance in writing research paper.
2. To find out whether there are gaps between the text-based syllabus design and
its use in the classroom.
3. To explore the teacher‟s strategies when anticipating the gaps if occurred.
3.2 Research Questions
In line with the aims above, the study was conducted in order to answer the
research questions formulated below.
1. Can text-based syllabus design enhance the learner‟s performance in writing research paper?
2. Are there any gaps between the design of text-based syllabus and its use in the
classroom?
3. If there are any gaps, how does the teacher anticipate the gaps?
3.3 Research Design and Research Method
The study used a qualitative design because most features of this study embraced
qualitative characteristics. Firstly, relevant to the purpose and the research
questions aforementioned, this study investigated the process of text-based
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
and its application as well as the strategies used by the teacher to anticipate the
gaps. This is in line with the characteristics of qualitative study focusing on
process and product (Frankel, et.al., 2012; Hancock, 1998).
Secondly, the results from the study were elaborated in words and it
matches qualitative design in its nature as it concerns words than numbers in its
description (Berg, 2007; Stake, 2010; Miles and Huberman, 1990; Liamputtong,
2009; Connole, et.al. 1990; Frankel, et.al., 2012; Hancock, 1998). Secondly, this
study did not attempt to make generalizations of the focus under investigation and
this is also similar to the feature of qualitative study highlighting that it learns on
particulars and the interpretation resulted is in need of contextualization (Connole,
et al, 1990; Travers, 2001). Finally, the results of the study were highly depended
on the interpretation of the researcher that tended to be subjective and therefore it
matches qualitative study characteristics.
In line with it, the study employed a case study as the method. This was
used because the present study was focused on a single entity, low-scale case, yet,
provided a deep analysis on the topic under investigation and all of these
characteristics embrace the features of a case-study method as mentioned by
Hancock (2002), Holliday (2005: p. 17), McMillan and Schumacher (2011: p.
415), and Johnson (1995: p.75). See also Creswell (1998: p. 56, 2012 p. 22), Yin,
(2011: p. 17), Cohen, et.al. (2007:p.173), Connole, (1990), Liamputtong, (2009: p.
190), Merriam, (1988: p.16), and Emilia, (2000).
3.4 Research Setting and Participant
This study took place in the Japanese department in one public university in
Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. This was chosen because of three reasons. First,
the participant involved in the study is coming from non English department and
has been teaching in the Japanese department for 8 years and therefore she
preferred to study (the topic under investigation) in her room. This gave her
comfort and familiarity to the situations, hoping that by having this situation,
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
Second, by having a place that is comfortable with the participant, an easy
access could be gained so that the feasibility of the study could also be attained.
Finally, it was expected that the participant gained more understanding on the
topic if she learnt in the place she felt comfortable with.
Further, the participant involved in the study was a female Japanese
language lecturer who has been teaching in a public university in Bandung, West
Java, Indonesia for 8 years. The participant is 35 years old, is a Moslem, and is
originally from the Sundanese ethnic group Indonesia. She speaks Sundanese
language as her mother tongue, Indonesian as her second language and Japanese
and English as her foreign languages. The participant has an excellent academic
achievement and was granted a scholarship to Japan for her master study and is
now granted a scholarship by Japan government for doctorate degree (in the first
rank of the 50 applicants in the world applied to the same university in Japan).
She also received several awards relevant with her academic achievement such as
the first rank in the speech contest.
Furthermore, the nature of participant involvement in the study was
voluntary based. It gives advantages for researcher in terms of costs and
accessibility (Elder, 2009). However, it also provides disadvantages in terms of
representativeness and generalization (Elder, 2009). Nevertheless, the
disadvantages given were not the issues in the study as the nature of the study was
qualitative and did not pursue for generalization.
3.5 Data Collection
In order to collect the data, this study involved multiple techniques of data
collections embracing three types of instruments namely observation (explained
together with the teaching program), interview and document analysis. Three
types of instruments above are fundamental and significant in collecting
qualitative data (Nunan and Bailey, 2009, in Emilia, 2011; Johnson, 1992;
Hancock, 1998; Maxwell, 1996; Alwasilah, 2001; Frankel, et.al., 2012; Meriam,
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
2001; Yin, 2011; Alwasilah, 2002; Silverman, 2006; Travers, 2001; Marshal and
Rossman, 2006; Snape and Spencer, 2003). Each instrument is elaborated below.
3.5.1 Teaching Program
The teaching was conducted within 10 meetings that covered six meetings of
teaching, one meeting of review and three times of tests. The learning took place
for one half to two hours per meeting, focusing only on abstract because of three
reasons. Firstly, 10 meetings were considered enough to describe the process and
to find out the progress of learner‟s writing performance on the aspect researched.
Secondly, relevant to the first reason, the objectives formulated were alike
for each topic, reflecting similar achievement and therefore in this aspect, what
have been achieved by the learner in the topic in this study could probably be used
to mirror similar achievement in the rest of the topics. However, it was still open
to doubt and therefore it reflected the shortcoming of the study. Similarly, the
distinction that lay in each feature of the topics would also reflect the problem
unique to each topic. This is again the limitation of the study.
Finally, the reason for the number of meetings was because of the thesis
limited time and space. The choice of abstract sequenced in the first topic was
based on the learner and the researcher agreement, considering that abstract was
easier compared to other elements of research paper (see Appendix 1); assumingly
it can give shorter time of meetings. It also defined the sequence of the lesson
which started from the simplest to the most difficult (Richards, 2001; Feez and
Joyce, 1998; Brandl, 2008).
Further, before the teaching phase was conducted, a preliminary interview
was done and diagnostic test was conducted based on the learner‟s first attempt in
writing. The results of the analysis of both preliminary interview and diagnostic
test determined where to start and how to start. The teaching was then carried out
based on the lesson plan arranged daily before the teaching (Brandl, 2008;
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
specifically was then put into cycles based on the process of teaching learning and
also the negotiation that occurred along the way.
In the present study, the cycle of teaching adopted three main stages
including modeling stage, joint construction stage and independent construction
stage as suggested by Joyce and Feez (2012), Callaghan and Rothery (1988), and
Emilia (2010, 2011) as can be seen in the following figure.
Fig. 3.1 Stages of Teaching in Text-based Syllabus
In those five stages viewed in the figure above, only three main stages were used
as mentioned in the previous paragraph. Further, as cyclical in its nature, the cycle
can be started from any stages along with the needs, paces and progress of the
students as well as the objectives set (ibid) and can go back to any cycle if
necessary (Feez, 2002).
The materials in the teaching are relevant to the needs of the learner,
viewed from the results of the student‟s analyses (Brown, 1995; Feez and Joyce,
1998; Joyce and Feez, 2012; Richards, 2001; Brown, 200; Gagne, Briggs and
Wager, 1992; Dubin and Olhstain, 1986; Nunan, 1988; Finney, 2002; Nation and
Macalister, 2010). It highly focused on language education and linguistics,
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
In the case of teaching cycle in the study, the first six meeting was
allocated to the abstract teaching. The teaching was started with independent
construction and was also ended with independent construction. These cycles
were resulted from the negotiation during the teaching and learning process as
well as feedback from the previous teaching. In line with it, in the teaching
program, the researcher acted as the teacher, conducting teaching cycle elaborated
in the syllabus. This implied that the role of the researcher in the observation was
participant observer in which she involved herself in all activities (Marshall and
Rossman, 2006; Faisal, 1990 in Sugiyono, 2008; Creswell, 1998). Moreover, the
language used when teaching the participant for most of the time was Indonesian
as agreed by both the researcher and the participant.
During the teaching program, observation was also employed in order to
explore the use of the syllabus in the classroom. In this case, the observation
involved the use of recording, allowing information in the activities can be
recorded minute-to minute and further enabling the researcher to track down what
is said and done by the teacher and the learner in the classroom (Emilia, 2012;
Hancock, 2000; Johnson, 1992; Maxwell, 1996).
The researcher also took notes after each session of teaching, while the
memory is still fresh to recall what had just happened (Van Lier, 1988 in Emilia
2005). This was intended to confirm the recording. Similar to the recording, the
notes revealed what is said and done by the teacher in the teaching cycle (Emilia,
2011). Further, to confirm the result of observation, a colleague of the researcher,
Ms. Helen (pseudonym) was invited. Her observation was used to check the
researcher‟s observation and to maintain the reliability of the study (Berg, 2007;
Emilia, 2005: p. 92; Liamputtong, 2009).
3.5.2 Interview
Other than observation, another method of data collection was interview. In
contrast with the observation which was done in an ongoing way, the interview
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
(preliminary interview), in an ongoing way and at the end of the study. The reason
behind these two last stages was because of the single number of the participant so
that the reliability of study could be maintained.
Further, the types of all stages of interview was semi-structured and
tape-recorded, “suggesting for what to say in the beginning and end of interview
regarding the purpose of the interview as well as providing questions to use for
probing for additional information” (Johnson, 1992; Kvale, 1996). This type of
interview also gives an opportunity for both interviewer and interviewee to
discuss some more topics in details (Emilia, 2011; Hancock, 1998). Related to the
tape- recorded interview, it was done so that the researcher does not have to go
over the notes and fill in gaps the same day of interview considering the memory
weakness that may begin to fade and important information is lost (Johnson,
1992). Additionally, the interview was conducted in mixed languages; Sundanese
and Indonesian. This was done because both the researcher and participant come
from the same ethnic group and because of the participant‟s convenience, hoping
that more information could be explored since the participant felt comfortable
with the language she spoke.
The first stage of interview, preliminary interview, was conducted in order
to dig out some information as guidelines what to teach and learn in the study as
well as the part of the needs analysis (Feez and Joyce, 1998; Brown, 1995;
Richards, 2001; Thai, 2009). The questions were related to the problems of the
participant in writing a research paper, including the reasons for learning writing a
research paper, experience in writing a research paper in English and in other
languages, assumptions on difficulties the participant may find when writing an
English research paper, efforts to „get to know‟ relevant to English research paper writing, and the participant‟s expectation after learning writing a research paper.
This interview was transcribed afterwards and analyzed simultaneously as
mentioned by Connole, et al, (1990) that “data collection and data analysis in
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
as a guideline to build the program by using text-based syllabus design (the details
of the analysis results are elaborated in chapter 4).
Further, the second stage of interview was in an ongoing basis, in which
the tape-recorded interview was delivered to the participant questioning her
thoughts and feelings related to the teaching learning cycle, materials, and
technique and method used by the teacher in the classroom as well as her
difficulties and interests found during the learning process. The ongoing interview
was conducted after each session of teaching and learning process and therefore
the questions raised were specifically related to each topic of learning. The
interview provided every end of each session would be expected to promote some
strengths and weaknesses of the teaching learning process leading to the
effectiveness of the text-based syllabus design, the gaps existence, as well as the
enhancement of the participant‟s research paper writing performance.
Finally, at the end of the study, the last stage of interview was carried out.
It was more related to the whole program that was delivered to the participant,
what she had learnt, how she progressed, and what challenges she found during
the learning program. This also had to do with the participant‟s impression on the
program, hoping to gain more information on the effectiveness of the text-based
syllabus design, the existing gaps and more importantly, the participant‟s
improvement in writing research paper.
Apart from that, the interview was also conducted after each assessment,
asking information about her impression on and procedures of the assessments
and her process of doing the writing in the assessment. It was done so that types
of assessment can be evaluated, whether these types of assessments contributed
effectively to the teaching program.
3.5.3 Document Analysis
The last source of data collection was document analysis that was implemented to
three types of documents consisting of syllabus, materials and the learner‟s
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
the results of the study. This was in line with Patton (1987) in Emilia (2011),
asserting that when using the document to be analyzed, some aspects should be
taken into considerations, among others are the purpose, the relevance in terms of
meaning of data and the sufficiency. The documents were analyzed in order to see
whether the syllabus designed, the lesson plan, the materials developed and the
teaching cycle conducted are in line one another by using the criteria suggested by
Joyce & Feez (2012) which are also in line with Brown (1989a) in Brown (1995).
The results were expected to reveal the effectiveness of the text-based syllabus
design. In addition, it was conducted in order to see the gaps between the design
and its use in the classroom.
The syllabus, lesson plan, learning materials and the teaching cycle were
analyzed after each teaching session so that the gaps could be viewed and its
anticipation for the gaps could be applied. Those were done by seeing the internal
elements whether they are in line one another or not and whether what stated in
the syllabus was realized in the lesson plan, the learning materials and the
teaching cycles. Afterwards, the participant‟s written texts were also analyzed,
taken from both the writings she did in the joint and independent constructions
and those from the tests. It was done to illustrate whether the objectives/ purposes
stated in the syllabus and the expectation were achieved, hoping that this could
provide evidence that promoted the participant‟s performance in writing the
research paper abstracts.
3.6 Data Analysis
In this study, the data was analyzed during and after the study was conducted.
During the study, the analyses were focused on the documents and the ongoing
interview. The former data involved syllabus and materials and the field notes,
viewing the consistencies among the syllabus, the materials and the teaching
cycle. The field notes were also used to support and confirm the results. The
results of analysis from the former data reflected the gaps and further viewed the
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
important to conduct as it gave opportunity for teacher to review the syllabus,
evaluate and modify the materials and improve the teaching cycle.
Relevant to the later analysis, constituting the ongoing interview, the data
was transcribed after each interview was conducted in order to avoid technical
problems such as loss data because of computer virus and so on. Afterwards, the
data was analyzed by using thematic organization (Kvale, 1996, Emilia, 2009),
involving the process of categorization and interpretation in order to answer
research questions. In this case, the name of the participant was coded as Mrs.
Aiko. This was conducted so that the confidentiality of the participant is protected
as well as respected (Liamputtong, 2009; see also Merriam, 1991; Maxwell, 1996;
Alwasilah, 2001; Frankel, et.al., 2012; Hancock, 2000; Emilia, 2009; Marshall
and Rossman, 2006; and Miles and Huberman, 1994). Further, the transcription
was then showed back to the participant in order to ensure its originality in terms
of meaning as well as to confirm the answer (Kvale, 1996: 189-190). Likewise,
the interview after the study, covering the impression of participant on the whole
program and the materials, was also transcribed and then confirmed to the
participant. It was also analyzed by using thematic analysis (Kvale, 1996; Emilia,
2009) by categorizing and interpreting so as to answer research questions.
Meanwhile, the document analyzed after the study was the learner‟s
research paper abstract writings she wrote in the independent and joint
constructions and the writing tests. It was done to see the participant‟s progress in
writing elements of research paper and to view the enhancement of the learner‟s
writing performance, especially research paper. The analyses of the learner‟s
written texts (both practices and tests) were based on the criteria applied to the
diagnostic assessment as mentioned in chapter 2 (see table 2.6).
Since the collection of data involved multiple techniques of collections,
the triangulation was employed to confirm the validity of the study (Stake, 2010;
Liamputtong, 2009; Berg, 2007; Emilia, 2009; and Yin, 2011). This involved the
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
what is called as methodological or data triangulation (Berg, 2007) and another
observer notes or observer/ researcher triangulation (ibid).

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION
This chapter sets out the conclusion of the study. It is commenced by restating
aims and research questions. It further presents brief summary of the findings of
the study. This chapter also outlines the limitations of the study as well as
provides recommendations for further research.
5.1 Aims and Research Questions
The study concerns the investigation of text-based syllabus design and its
implementation in the academic classroom. It aimed to identify whether
text-based syllabus design can enhance the learner’s performance in writing research
paper, to find out whether there are gaps between the text-based syllabus design
and its use in the classroom and to explore teacher’s strategies when anticipating
the gaps if occurred. Thus, the study was carried out to answer the following
research questions: (1) can text-based syllabus design enhance the learner’s
performance in writing research paper? ; (2) are there any gaps between the design
of text-based syllabus and its use in the classroom? ; and (3) if there are any gaps,
how does the teacher anticipate the gaps?
5.2 Conclusion of the Study
The study concludes that despite some limitations found in the study, text-based
syllabus design to most parts is effective to enhance the learner’s performance in
writing research paper, in particular writing research paper abstract. This
enhancement can be seen from clear text structures, appropriate skeletal phrases
and improved language features in the learner’s writing. With respect to text
structures, the learner has successfully applied the text structure that results in her
organized texts. It is accompanied with the use of appropriate skeletal phrases
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
some minor weaknesses, the learner is much improved in terms of text unity,
clause grammar, group words and graphology.
Those enhancements are, among others, closely associated with five main
following aspects; first, the learner awareness of the importance of the benefits
provided by the teaching stages including the models or examples provision, the
understanding of the recursive writing and the good grasp of the application of the
references and at the same time the consideration of the recursive writing;
secondly, the positive characteristics of learner who makes an opportunity to learn
inside and outside of the classroom and is responsible for her own learning;
thirdly, the teacher clear instruction and guidance; and finally, the clear and detail
materials. All reflect the syllabus effectiveness in its use in the classroom.
Further, the study also shows that the gaps occur between the lesson plan
and the teaching implementation. It is attended in four factors including steps of
teaching, activities, materials and time. These gaps are then managed by the
teacher by using different strategies to the teaching, lesson plan and materials. To
the teaching, the teacher uses the strategy of context adjustment (teaching steps,
activities and time); to the lesson plan, the teacher uses the strategy of
reorganization and simplification; whereas, to the materials, the teacher uses the
strategies of modification and simplification. Therefore, in general, the text –
based syllabus deign could help the learner in the study enhance her performance
in writing research paper abstract by using the design as elaborated in chapter 2
and 4 and by considering the gaps as well as the strategies to anticipate the gaps.
5.3 Limitations of the Study
There are some limitations of the study. Firstly, the involvement of the researcher
in teaching and evaluating the results leads to subjectivity as it highly depends on
the researcher interpretation affecting the validity and reliability of the study.
However, it is anticipated by the use of multiple data collections as well as the
involvement of another researcher to strengthen the judgment, providing an
Raden Maesaroh , 2014
Text-Based Syllabus Design And Its Implementation In Academic Writing Classroom Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu
triangulate the data. Secondly, due to the single number of participant, people who
are interested in the generalization could not meet their expectation in this context
of study. Despite the fact, it is already mentioned in chapter three that this study is
not aimed for generalization, instead, it is intended to see in depth a single entity
in its natural setting. Thirdly, the irregular meetings of the teaching learning
process that may result in the effectiveness in the learning process because of this
irregular contact. It is handled by the provision of some reading tasks and
homework. Fourthly, in terms of the syllabus, the objectives formulated are alike
for each topic, reflecting similar achievement and therefore in this aspect, what
have been achieved by the learner in writing research paper abstract in this study
can probably be used to mirror similar achievement in the rest of the topics.
However, it is still open to doubt and therefore it reflected the shortcoming of the
study. Similarly, the distinction that lay on each feature of the topics would also
reflect the problem unique to each topic.
5.4 Recommendations for Further Studies
There are several recommendations for further research. Firstly, due to single
number of participant, it is suggested that future researchers can conduct similar
research with more number of participants. Secondly, the context of study is
writing, it is recommended that future researchers can apply the text-based
syllabus design in the context of academic speaking. Finally, based on the
limitation above in that the irregular meetings in the teaching learning process
occurred, it is suggested that future researchers can conduct similar research with
