“…Other findings in DL explore the anticipations of readers in chemistry (Shanahan, Shanahan, and Misischia 2011) and the strategies unique to those in literature (Hamel 2003;Moje 2007). DL rests on the assumptions that not only do disciplinary experts have distinct and identifiable literacies, but that these can and should be taught to students (Cisco 2015).…”

Impostor phenomenon refers to an overwhelming feeling of intellectual fraudulence and affects individuals across a number of fields. Academia provides an environment in which these feelings can flourish, particularly within postgraduate students. In spite of the research exploring these feelings, we know little about how to reduce them in academia. Clinical research has identified guiding principles to assist those affected, particularly through mentorship. This paper describes a series of interventions for postgraduates adapted from clinical research. These four interventions identified impostor phenomenon and its consequences, explored disciplinary and academic literacies strategies, and taught postgraduate students how to read academic journal articles and use literacy strategies to write literature reviews. Parametric and nonparametric analyses show that impostor feelings reduced by 23% relative to a control group. This research suggests that programmes could use similar interventions in academic skill sets to help reduce impostor phenomenon feelings in their postgraduate students.

“…Furthermore, after the data were obtained through listening, the data were recorded on the data card according to the politeness strategy of commenting. The data analysis technique in this study used the intralingual equivalent method which was strengthened by the extra lingual equivalent technique (Cisco, 2016;Mahsun, 2014). The intralingual equivalent method in this study was used to identify the politeness strategy of commenting on Jokowi's Instagram account.…”

Politeness of expression and character education are both crucial aspects, in the current era of disruption, especially concerning sociopragmatic political purposes. The realization of politeness acts of language in the context of communication and global communication has now penetrated without limits on social distance, time, and goals. The problem is the act of language in electronic media, especially Instagram, giving space to the user to be more open in expressing his goals and objectives, including to the president in relation to specific goals and politics. This study aims to identify the forms of positive politeness acts of followers' comments on President Jokowi's official Instagram account and describe the intent of politico pragmatic power of positive politeness of followers of Jokowi's Instagram accounts. The data source of this study was the speech of followers on the official Instagram account of Indonesian President Jokowi #MenujuIndonesiaMaju managed by the President's Digital Communication Team for the period October-November 2018. The study data were in the form of comments from Jokowi's Instagram account followers who had positive politico pragmatic politeness. The data collection technique was carried out using documentation, note-taking techniques, and continued with heuristic listening techniques. Data analysis was performed with an intralingual equivalent technique which was strengthened by an extra lingual equivalent and sharpened with Levinson's politeness analysis technique based on the principle of harmony in Javanese culture. The results of the study showed that the form of positive politeness acts that were most used by followers was by giving attention to the speech partners. Political propaganda power of dominant followers’ comments was in the form of the power to ask and support rather than the power of praise, the power of influence, the power of motivation, and the power of suggestion. It shows that Instagram account followers have an optimistic attitude towards Jokowi's leadership. Jokowi's managerial, and leadership performance has a positive face among followers. This power of praise, motivation, and advice is an essential component in the formation of children's character education in the current era of disruption of education.

“…There is a dearth of empirical explorations and insights into the ways in which generic and discipline-specific strategies can be adapted to the increased difficulty in college reading (Theriault et al 2018). In recent years, there has been a wealth of empirical research on these strategies in primary and secondary education, and the scholarship focused on teaching and learning in higher education would benefit from insights on the efficacy of these strategies at the postsecondary level (Porter 2017;Cisco 2016). The use of these strategies may also require a more nuanced approach in some disciplines, such as mathematics (Siebert and Draper 2008).…”

Students face challenging texts and concepts across the disciplines in higher education, and many students lack the reading skills and strategies to make sense of them. The aim of the small study described in this article was to explore the benefits, if any, of the difficulty paper, a written formative assessment that asks students to explore their difficulties with challenging texts. An inductive analysis of student difficulty papers in a multidisciplinary “Great Works” course suggests that the paper encouraged students to address their confusion without dismissing it and helped students to model the processes of good reading. Findings also suggest that the assignment may be a useful tool to develop disciplinary habits of mind. The article concludes with an example of how educators might use the difficulty paper in science and mathematics courses.
