STUDENT’S PERSPECTIVES ON THESIS WRITING IN ENGLISH ACADEMIC CULTURE
Abstract: Thesis
writing is important
in higher education because it
shows the students’
ability in doing
research and producing written
academic results. Generally,
it is assume
that university students are
educated people and
therefore have an ability
to produce a
thesis. Yet, this
is not always
as easy as it seems. For
students studying in
English academic culture,
for example, thesis writing brings two challenges, First, a challenge of
writing in a language that is not their own, English. Second, a challenge of
producing written work
in a new
cultural context, that is
English academic culture.
These challenges often
cause great difficulties in
producing the thesis
for the Indonesian students.
