Pengaruh Mata Kuliah Bahasa Indonesia terhadap Keterampilan Menulis Akademik Mahasiswa di Perguruan Tinggi

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that cause students' difficulties in academic writing, focusing on the lack of understanding of the material taught in the Indonesian Language Course, ineffective teaching methods, minimal academic writing practice, and the inability of students to apply their knowledge of the Indonesian language to academic writing. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, involving interviews and observations of students and lecturers. The results show that the lack of understanding of basic Indonesian language concepts, less interactive teaching approaches, and the lack of academic writing practice are the main causes of these difficulties. Additionally, students struggle to apply the theory they have learned to academic writing practice. This study suggests improvements in more interactive and practical teaching methods, increased writing exercises with constructive feedback, and the provision of consultation and writing guidance services to help students develop their academic writing skills. With these approaches, it is hoped that students can improve their writing abilities and produce better and higher-quality academic papers
