Abstract

Recently in Western and non-Western countries there has been a great interest in the studies on research article introductions. However, in Indonesia this research topic has received less attention. In this present study, the researcher evaluates the introduction chapter of a linguistics thesis written by an Indonesian EFL undergraduate student. The purpose is to find and explain some discrepancies between international expert readers’ expectations and the student’s practice in a) presenting the sentences and paragraphs, and b) presenting and organizing the text contents. The researcher also interviews the student to reveal some possible reasons for the available discrepancies. The evaluation findings show that the student’s writing is still inconsistent with the expert readers’ expectations. The result of the interview exposes that the student has received insufficient information about expert readers’ expectations for research article writing.
