Purpose: To study the existence of the Arabic language in the Indonesian language mostly limited to terms used in Islam religion. Methodology: This article discusses the existence of Arabic literature in the Indonesian source text, a novel with the life in a pesantren as the setting, where the author of the source text needs to translate the Arabic expressions used in the story into Indonesian. Then from the Indonesian source text, the novel is translated into English. The method used in this research is the descriptive comparative method. The leading theory used for this research is the strategies of Translation by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995), what Arabic linguistic units involved in the Indonesian source text, and what strategy of conversion used by the author and the translator become the objectives of this research. Principal Findings: The results show that the Arabic linguistic units found are ranging from a word into a clause or sentence, and the strategies of Translation used in the target text do not always deal with one single procedure; sometimes, it involves a combination of some procedures. Applications of this study: The translation work may lead to similar as well as a contrastive linguistic phenomenon. People can learn more about languages involving in a translation, particularly when the structures of the source and target language are compared linguistically. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study covers the gap left in the previous research carried out by the same team entitled “Translation Equivalences of Islamic Terms in the Novel (The Land of Five Towers ‘Negeri Lima Menara’). This previous research used the same data source, Arabic expressions, in the novel. It focused more on the Arabic feelings relating to Islamic terms, such as names of five obligational prayers, names of optional prayers, activities in shalat, or praying. The rest of the Arabic phrases which are not used in this previous research are left unstudied.

Menulis karya ilmiah adalah kewajiban bagi pengembangan diri profesi mengajar. Keterampilan literasi akademik sebagai bagian penting dari penulisan adalah keterampilan yang belum dikenali sepenuhnya oleh seluruh tenaga pendidik, khususnya tenaga pendidik jenjang pendidikan dasar. Pengetahuan tentang konvensi tulisan akademik, pencarian basis data penelitian, dan critical thinking menjadi sebuah bentuk literasi yang perlu dikuatkan dan diterapkan. Dalam kegiatan PPM ini, tim peneliti mengadakan penyuluhan yang ditujukan untuk memperkuat literasi akademik guru-guru SD Negeri di Kota Sukabumi, Jawa Barat sehubungan dengan kewajiban para guru mempublikasikan artikel ilmiah untuk kepentingan kenaikan pangkat. Program Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini terkait langsung dengan pengetahuan penulisan ilmiah yang dapat menunjang peningkatan kinerja dan kompetensi tenaga pendidik di tingkat pendidikan dasar. Kegiatan berbentuk penyuluhan dan pendampingan menulis ilmiah ini memastikan agar pihak- pihak yang telibat tetap fokus pada keadaan dan kearifan lokal yang kuat di daerah tersebut serta research interest dari masing-masing para tenaga pendidik. Dengan penyuluhan ini, para tenaga pendidik berhasil mendapatkan informasi dasar literasi akademik, memulai pengembangan keterampilan dalam pencarian di basis data penelitian, serta mendapatkan pengetahuan lebih mendalam tentang konvensi tulisan akademik.Writing scientific papers is one of the main responsibilities for the self-development of the teaching profession. Academic literacy skills as significant part of writing are the skills that have not been fully recognized, especially by teachers at the basic education level. Knowledge of academic writing conventions, research database searches, and critical thinking are forms of academic literacy that required to be strengthened and further applied. In this Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat activity, the research team held training to develop the academic literacy of state elementary school teachers in Sukabumi City, West Java in connection with the obligation of teachers to publish scientific articles for career development purposes. This Community Service Program is directly related to scientific writing knowledge that can support improving the performance and competence of educators at the basic education level. This activity involved close-assistance sessions to ensure that the participants are able to focus on their local situations and trend in their schools as well as their personal research interests. With this program, the teachers were able to obtain basic information on academic literacy, start developing skills in searching research databases, and gain more in-depth knowledge of academic writing conventions.

The low publication rate of Indonesian researchers in reputable international journals, particularly in arts and humanities,is caused, among others, by difficulties they faced in producing precise expository texts in English, which are differentfrom texts in Indonesian. The present study examines lexical bundles in the corpora of English and Indonesian researcharticles (RA) on literature and linguistics to describe the similarities and differences of conventionalized phraseology inthe scientific genre of English and Indonesian by using corpus software, namely Sketch Engine. The study focuses onthe frequency, structural and functional characteristics of lexical bundles using a mixed-method research design. TheEnglish corpus comprises 1,351,048 words derived from 124 RA, while the Indonesian corpus consists of 637,910 wordscollected from 124 RA. We found that three-word lexical bundles are more prevalent than four-word lexical bundles inboth corpora. Based on the structural forms, prepositional-based bundles are the most frequent form in English RA, whilenoun-based bundles are the most common form in Indonesian RA. There were no participant-oriented bundles foundin the Indonesian RA corpus in terms of functional classification, whereas the English RA corpus involved more variedfunctional categories of lexical bundles. The findings provide an understanding of phraseological combinations in Englishand Indonesian scientific writing, characterizing disciplinary discourse as well as native and non-native English speakers’rhetorical style, and have pedagogical implications for EAP practitioners.
