“…However, one or more linguistic clues can be used by the writers to address their research gap strategy such as in E6. E6 was taken from an article titled 'Exploring the importance of vocabulary for English as an additional language learners' reading comprehension' written by Brooks et al (2021) and published in Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, volume 11 issue 3. As indicated in E6, the writers use three linguistic features (however, despite … and … not) in addressing their research gap.…”

Research gap (RG) becomes an important rhetorical work in research article introductions in all fields, especially in a competitive research publication atmosphere. A research article (RA) submitted to a reputable journal may be rejected because the writers fail to show the ‘niche’ in reviewing previous relevant studies to justify their research project. This research aims to find how writers in Applied Linguistics (AL) published in international journals of different quality in terms of their quartile value address the novelty in their journal article introductions. Forty articles were selected from eight different reputable international journals in AL of different tiers for the corpus of this study. The content analysis method under the umbrella of the qualitative approach was applied in the data collection and analysis. Six RG strategies, as suggested by Arianto et al. (2021), were used as a model for analysis and then the linguistic features used by the writers in realizing the RGs. The results show that among the six different RG strategies, the most frequently used by international writers are Strategy 2 (inadequate research) and Strategy 4 (contradictive/conflicting evidence). Among the four groups of RAs, those published in Quartile 1 journals used the most frequent strategies. The frequent linguistic features used by international writers are adversative conjunctions and adjective-modifying nouns to signal their RG strategies. To improve the quality of an article introduction, writers, especially novice writers, should use multiple strategies with the appropriate linguistic features.

“…A teacher added that students' obstacles in English such as vocabulary could affect students' language comprehension, especially in reading context. Some studies indicated that vocabulary mastery was important for reading comprehension and it showed a correlation (Brooks et al, 2021;Manihuruk, 2020). Moreover, critical thinking skills need the comprehension ability for analyzing until concluding.…”

<em>This study aimed to analyze the needs for developing critical thinking skills technology-based assessment instruments in English subjects for vocational school and find out the factors that can support and inhibit developing and implementing critical thinking skills technology-based assessment instruments. This study used the qualitative research method with a case study design. The subject of study was 5 teachers and 15 eleventh-grade vocational school students at Tangerang. Observations, interviews, and documentation were conducted to collect the data. After collecting the data, the researcher used triangulation to confirm the data. The data collected were analyzed to answer the research questions using several stages, namely condensation, display, and verification. The results showed that the development of technology-based assessment instruments of critical thinking skills on vocational school English subjects needs to be developed. The schools have facilitation for conducting a technology-based assessment. Students have never taken on critical thinking skills assessment. Teachers and schools did not have the development of assessment instruments of critical thinking skills so teachers have never conducted critical thinking skills assessments on English subjects. Moreover, the students still have some obstacles in English learning such as vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. Therefore, the teachers should help to improve students’ vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar before conducting a critical thinking skills assessment.</em>
