Writing is the process of conveying ideas and arguments in a structured, coherent, and persuasive manner within a predetermined framework of words and formatting. This article will thoroughly examine the trends and patterns in the field of essay writing research using bibliometric analysis, revealing the most essential topics and influential figures in this area. The study aims to track the evolution of essay writing research since its inception and discern prevailing trends by examining source titles, geographical origins, affiliated institutions, and citation patterns in publications. Microsoft Excel was utilized for frequency analysis. VOSviewer was used for data visualization, while Harzing's Publish or Perish (PoP) was used for citation metrics and analysis. Additionally, it covers vital themes based on keywords, publication titles and abstracts. This document also describes the significant contributors to the research. Contributing to the scant literature on the study trends of essay writing in social sciences, the findings provide critical insights into emerging trends and issues in article and journal performance, collaboration patterns and research components.

“…Since lexical bundles play a significant role in communication as building blocks for discourse, they are considered essential for English language education. They are especially valuable in evaluating students' proficiency in English and supporting their language acquisition (Akbulut, 2020;Hussain et al, 2021;Northbrook & Conklin, 2019;Siricharoen & Wijitsopon, 2020).…”

Background. Lexical bundles in textbooks are of paramount importance in foreign language learning. They provide a framework for new vocabulary acquisition and help to build fluency. Despite many studies on lexical bundles, investigations into their usage in EFL textbooks in the Indonesian context are still rare. Purpose. This corpus-based study examines the patterns and structural classifications of lexical bundles in EFL course textbooks for Indonesian senior high school students. As such, it could yield ready-made chunks of English which could be incorporated into students’ spoken and written communication. Method. The AntConc software version 3.5.9 was used to extract lexical bundles from five Indonesian Senior High School English textbooks. These books were endorsed by the government to be used across the country. The corpus revealed that the textbooks had 54,009 lexical bundles. In addition, the bundles were categorized into patterns and structural classifications based on Biber et al. (1999). Results. The results showed the patterns included three-word lexical bundles with 32,527 occurrences, four-word with 11,620, five-word with 6,073, and six-word with 3,789. Furthermore, eleven structural classifications of lexical bundles were found in the textbooks: “noun phrase + of phrase fragment” with 173 occurrences; “noun phrase + other post modifier fragment” with 44; “other noun phrases fragment” with 157; “prepositional phrase + of” with 13; “other prepositional phrases” with 243; “anticipatory it + verb phrase/adjective phrase” with 13; “passive verb + prepositional phrase” with 19; “copula be + noun phrase/ adjective phrase” with 30; “(verb phrase +) that- clause” with 59; and “(verb/adjective +) to- clause” with 239. Conclusion. Three-word lexical bundles were the most frequent in the senior high English textbooks. High frequency implies repetition of the bundles. Also, the other prepositional phrase fragment was the most frequent structural classification. Short bundles may have been intended to help students to retain vocabulary and recall the bundles in the usage. This study, therefore, provides valuable insights into the most common groups of words used in the Indonesian EFL textbooks. Pedagogically speaking, repeated bundles in English textbooks can familiarize EFL students with the patterns, and they can use them in spoken and written communication.

This article aims to research the use of the interactive forms and methods of syntopical reading approach in the English language senior school classroom to improve cognitive skills and learners’ competence in reading as well as to develop critical thinking. While the Analytical reading mostly involves the students’ activities such as argumentation, analysis, and evaluation of the certain text through finding examples in the same text, the Syntopical reading develops critical thinking as (long as) it concentrates on the students’ skills to compare and contrast different texts dealing with one and the same topic, to express sophisticated ideas, to integrate or synthesize the ideas from multiple sources and to formulate original arguments. The objectives of the article are to determine the stages of the described learning process, the structure of every proposed stage and to develop the corresponding system of exercises for mastering the mentioned competence skills and develop critical thinking in students. The research draws pedagogical implications for an English senior school classroom, suggesting that language teachers employ explicit teaching of reading strategies that facilitate critical reading and develop critical thinking skills.
