“…Grammar can improve our writing, speaking, and interpreting English correctly and adequately even though its use is not for daily activities (Benitez-correa et al, 2019;Jean & Simard, 2013;& Niwas, 2016). The benefits of using grammar are developing translation techniques, helping to acquire vocabulary, increasing knowledge of actual sentence understanding, and building conceptual thinking about the structure of English (Schurz & Coumel, 2020;Su et al, 2021).…”

Students often make mistakes in writing descriptive texts about people, animals, objects, or procedures. When asked about the source of the error, they did not give a clear answer to the question, let alone an explanation of the source of the error. The purpose of this study was to analyze the types of errors made by students and find out why students made mistakes in writing texts. The method used in this study is a qualitative description. Fifteen seventh-grade junior high school students were the subjects in this study. Data collection was carried out by presenting tests to students to write three descriptive texts about people, animals, and procedures, and focus group interviews on finding out why students made mistakes. The data is based on seven indicators in writing, namely the title, main sentence, significant sentence development, sentence structure, grammar used, word use, and writing, and ten sources of errors that might cause students to make mistakes in writing. This study found that students made mistakes in describing people, animals, and procedures in the title, main sentence, significant sentence development, sentence structure, word choice, grammar, and mechanics. Meanwhile, the highest proportion of students' mistakes in writing is the students' indifference to their writing.

“…The role of computer science, along with linguistics skills, are apparent for supporting the analysis of criminal acts. Su et al (2021) presented an approach of local grammar for investigating diachronically discourse acts of text in academic, aiming to offer a supportive approach to studies of diachronic academic discourse. The proposed approach of local grammar is revealed with a study exploring the changing patterns of exemplification in linguistics research articles, showing that the linguistic academic writers tend to represent in explicit and simpler ways.…”

Based on applied linguistics, this study looked at the decision support system (DSS) for emphasizing self-assurance in academic writing. From a generic perspective, academic writing has been considered both a process and a product. It has highlighted the planning composite processes, editing, composing, revising, and assessment, which depend upon the familiarity of someone with confidence in their capability for engagement in these activities. As a product, it has focused on the writing results through the product’s characteristics. These contain specific content areas in acceptable depth and well-structured technical vocabulary. Higher education aims to support students in optimizing their potential for achieving satisfactory outcomes. For example, the assessment of grades involves academic writing, contributing to the degree course classification. Students have differences in many respects, such as expectations, background knowledge, and study and learning approaches. There were varying students’ beliefs about what academic writing is for evaluation. Modern-day motivations and theories highlight the significance of students’ confidence in their studies. The role of high confidence can support students to apply more effort toward setting challenging goals. Students may find it more difficult to succeed in higher education if they lack confidence in their academic writing abilities. A DSS has many applications in diverse areas and can play a significant role in the ranking and prioritization process. The current study has considered the DSS for prioritizing self-assurance in academic writing based on applied linguistics. Various criteria were considered for the evaluation of the research. The Super Decision software was used for the experimental process of the proposed research. The results of the study show the effectiveness of the proposed research.

“…Writing is a person's peak language skill, which includes choosing vocabulary, using sentence structures, applying spelling and punctuation, organizing ideas coherently, using a variety of effective sentences, and producing writing (Masrur et al, 2020;Staples et al, 2013). Writing is one of the language skills to express ideas in written form (Hill et al, 2020;Su et al, 2021).…”

Students are less interested in writing because teachers tend to use textbooks as the only medium in learning. This has an impact on students' low writing skills. The purpose of this study is to analyze the problem-based learning model assisted by video learning. to improve critical response text writing skills. This type of research is classroom action research. This study follows the stages of classroom action research, each cycle consisting of four stages, namely planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this research were 28 students of class IX. Methods The methods used to collect data are observation, interviews, and tests. The instruments used to collect data are questionnaires and test sheets. The data analysis used in this research is descriptive qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that the application of the problem-based learning model assisted by video media could improve students' critical response text writing skills. The increase in the average score of critical response text writing skills is 11, from an average of 80 to 91. So, learning can be said to be successful because overall, students are complete. Students also gave a very positive response in participating in learning to write critical response texts by applying a problem-based learning model assisted by video media with a score of 22.89.
