"dan saya di sini, di dunia ini, menjalani hari tanpa mengerti yang terjadi" -logika anbiya-

Introduction

Introduction contain the background, statement of problem, aim of the study, the scope of the study, significance of the study, research method, clarification of terms, and organization of the paper. The background tell us about why the study’s held or for what the study. Then the statement of problem tell us what problem going to discuss on the paper. Next is aim of the study is what would be the aim of the study. After that the scope of the study, in the paper I have read it say “the study investigates only what kind of nonstandard grammar………. “ and soon. Thus eight aspect has to be included on Introduction because the introduction is the first chapter in the paper. So introduction is the crucial chapter that lead the reader to the purpose of the study.

Indonesia’s “Sekolah Dasar” and Primary school

From the article  that written by mr.Chaedar in primary school the students is thaught to be individual person and the made to be a visionary person. Contrast in Indonesia, the students thaught to become a  workers and just follow what asked to them. If Indonesia’s Sekolah Dasar can adapt the system in primary school, Indonesi’s students would be more visionaire and Indonesia could be more steps ahead.

2nd meeting. The syllabus

At first I guess mr.Chaedar didn't come to the class, and then someone come in class. I didn't know her name yet, but everyone in class know her. I ask my friend for her name, and her name is ms.Susi.
She said thay mr.Chaedar got scholarship from England, so he went to England for three month and until he back to Indonesia she would to take mr.Chaedar place to teach the cours.

For the reason that mr.Chaedar hasn't told us about the syllabus for English writing for academic purposes course, ms.Susi kindly let us know about the syllabus.

first meeting

In the first meeting in speaking for academic purposes we learned that academic writing and literary works are two different things. We also identify the differences between academic writing and literary works. there are some differences we have found in first meeting, there are :

1.      Research based
Academic writing always based on research. We can’t randomly write something in academic writing. It has to be and always based on research and not fiction. However academic writing is not a literary work so it is not based on writer imagination. It is not a narrative or description text. We have to put arguments and opinion then we completed it with data we have got from our research. Unlike Novel or short-story that just write what we had on imagination.

2.      Systematic
Unlike literary works, academic writing should be systematic. Start with the opening to tell the material to reader, then we begin discuss the material, add our opinions or arguments, give data we have from research to support our opinions, the fact would more helpful to support our opinion arguments, than it should end with conclusion.

3.      Based on data
in the research based part we knew that academic writing has to be based on data. If academic writing based on our opinion only without data support  just untrusted reading sources.

4.      Fact
We don’t allow to write something before we knew it is the fact. If is not than we were lied to the readers. Facts support also for the data we have.

5.      Use formal language and scientific words

Because it’s not novel or short-story or any other literary work we have to use formal language and scientific words. It is more better use formal language than slang language to avoid some misunderstanding between writer and reader.

Those are some differences between academic writing and literary works. However that five differences tell that academic writing are way different to literary works.

            Some academic writing’s examples are thesis, textbook, skripsi (in Indonesia), article, etc.
