Literacy Skills In The Context Of Indonesian Discourse In The Field Of Scientific Writing

Abstract

This study aims to determine the ability of student literacy in various scientific writing. Likewise, the purpose of language education is to provide experiences to students with integrated learning through advanced environmental literacy (literate environment) which is assumed to be able to improve learning because students use the processes that are interrelated between reading, writing, speaking, and listening to actual natural communication ( authentic communication). Literacy skills required students include proficiency communicating in academic situations. Data obtained through the test with a sample of 60 students. The results showed that the use of language elements deviate from the rules of scientific language diversity, because of lack of reason/relevant, less obvious/explicit, and less straightforward. The paradigm deviation occurs in the arrangement of paragraphs (62.85%), sentences (51.3%), and the word (51.6%). Irregularities occur in the arrangement of sentence clarity (37.9%), choice of words (28.3%), the arrangement of paragraphs (10.3%), and the arrangement of sentences (6%). Overall, the main weakness lies in the structuring of sentences and paragraphs.
