THE INFLUENCE OF STUDENTS’ L1 AND SPOKEN ENGLISH IN ENGLISH WRITING: A CORPUS-BASED RESEARCH

---

Academic writing requires both style and grammatical correctness;
however, efforts in improving the quality of English academic writing
by non-native students have been focused on grammar. Structures observed
in this study were grammatically correct, but considered unnatural in academic
writing genre. This research involves a group of non-native English
speaking students who were assigned to submit two different kinds of writing
to an online repository: a research paper abstract and a free writing article.
A survey to understand the sources of English exposure is also conducted.
The objectives of this study are to describe unnatural sequences/Multi
Words Units (MWUs) used by the students and to identify the motives of using
such sequences. The tools for corpus processing used are Unitex and
Antconc. Corpus of Contemporary American English and British National
Corpus are also used as reference corpora for English while the SEAlang Indonesian
Corpus is used to validate the influence of first language (L1). The
analysis of these sequences with comparison to reference corpora indicated
the influence of spoken English and students’ L1 (Indonesian). This corresponds
to the results of the survey that most of the students are exposed to
English mostly via spoken, and non-academic sources (songs, movies, social
media, etc).
Keywords: corpus, recurrent patterns, lexical bundle, L1, L2, Academic
Writing
