Submissions

Author Guidelines

General Guidelines

1. Manuscripts/articles submitted by the author by logging in as the author at https://ojs.unias.ac.id/index.php/tehude/login
2. The article has never been published before, is not being considered for publication by other sources, and does not contain elements of plagiarism. At the time of submission, the author must report the previous publication of the material used in this paper in any medium.
3. Articles can be conceptual articles and research articles.
4. Articles can be written in English in as many as 3000-6000 words, excluding title, abstract, author, author affiliation, correspondence author, and references.
5. In addition to English, the abstract must be typed in Indonesian with a maximum of 200 words.
6. Abstracts in English and Indonesian must be equipped with 3-5 keywords.
7. It is recommended to use a journal template already available.

Title. The title of the article should not be more than 20 words. Articles must begin with a title, followed by the author's name and affiliation address. The title must be informative, reflecting the article's content conceptually and containing the variables or concepts covered. Including the place of implementation and the research, the method is unnecessary. Avoid the formulation of a nuanced institutional title. The author's name must be listed after the title, and all authors must be accompanied by the institution's name and email address for correspondence.

Abstract. The abstract should be concise and factual, stating the research objectives, methods, primary results, and conclusions. For this reason, references should be avoided, but if necessary, cite the author and year. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential, they should be defined at the first mention in the abstract and written in one paragraph in English and Indonesian.

Introduction. The introduction should contain (short and sequential) a general background and state-of-the-art literature as a basis for new research questions, main research problems, and hypotheses. At the end of the introduction, the purpose of writing the article should be stated. It is impossible to write references in scientific article format like in research reports. They should be represented in the literature review to show the latest findings of scientific articles. The introduction contains the research context and exposure to the forefront of scientific developments related to the topic under study from the results of reviewing the findings of previous research published in nationally accredited journals, reputable international journals, or international journals indexed in international databases [DOAJ, EBSCO, and equivalent]; the results of a literature review which shows that there are gaps in research findings; insight into problem-solving plans and 'promised' scientific contributions ending with research objectives.

Method (also known as materials and methods). Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Published methods must be indicated by reference; only the relevant modifications should be described. Briefly contains the research design/procedure, data sources (population and sample), the instruments and materials used, and how the data were collected and analyzed.

Results. Contains exposure to analysis results answering research questions or net results of data analysis and/or results of hypothesis testing. The use of tables only increases brevity or where information cannot be satisfactorily provided by other means such as histograms or graphs. Tables should be sequentially numbered and referred to in the text by number (table 1, etc.). Each table should have an explanatory caption that should be as short as possible.

Discussion. It is the most important part of the overall content of scientific articles. In the discussion section, you should explain the significance of the results of the work (research) but not repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussions of published literature. Researchers/authors can present this part of the discussion by:

• The meaning (interpretation) of the results of data analysis;
• Discuss (compare) how current findings relate to previous research (study) findings and/or integrate research results into established knowledge sets;
• Citing relevant previous literature;
• Briefly note how the current findings are: new or different from previous reports (building a new theory or modifying an existing theory);
• Discuss the implications of the current findings.

Conclusion. The conclusion section contains answers to research questions in substantive form or describes the essence of the discussion results in essay form, not in numerical form. Contains statements of relationships between phenomena/variables/factors that lead to theoretical development or modification of the theory. The author should link this section to the introduction, refer to the question or hypothesis, and discuss how the results relate to the author's expectations and cited sources. Do the results support or contradict the existing theory? Are there any research limitations? Authors can also suggest further research or experimentation, uses, and extensions. A reasonable conclusion is one that the researcher always remembers without having to read the formula again. There are two approaches in conclusion:

Acknowledgments. Give brief acknowledgments, naming those who helped with your research, contributors, or suppliers who provide materials or data free of charge. Also, in this section, you may disclose (if any) financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that could be seen to affect your results or interpretation.

Reference. The new research builds on previously published work, which should always be acknowledged. Any information that is not common knowledge, or generated by your research or experimentation, must be acknowledged with citations; the quoted text must be in quotation marks and include a reference. Reference styles in articles submitted to TEHUDE: Journal of English Language Education using the American Psychological Association 7th Edition. For scientific works, references must have a minimum of 10 literatures and publications in the last ten years, unless historical studies can use classic literature publications from the last ten years. Of this amount, 80% came from primary sources, namely articles published in scientific journals. In conceptual papers, references have at least 25 literature and publications in the last ten years, unless historical studies can use classic publications of more than ten years. Of this amount, 80% came from primary sources, namely articles published in scientific journals and research proceedings. Authors are advised to use Mendeley Reference as a standard for writing articles published by the Universitas Nias.

Complementary data
TEHUDE: Journal of English Language Education accepts additional electronic materials to support and enhance the authors' scientific research. Additional files offer authors the possibility of publishing supporting applications, high-resolution images, background data sets, sound clips, and other files. Additional files provided will be published online in addition to the electronic version of the article. Please provide the data in one of our recommended file formats to ensure that the submitted material is of immediate use. Authors must submit material in electronic format along with the article and provide a brief and descriptive description for each file.

Caption
Make sure each image/illustration has a caption. Please provide a separate description, not attached to the picture. The caption should consist of a short title (not on the image itself) and a description of the image. Keep the text on the image to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.

Table
Number the tables in the order they appear in the text. Place footnotes in the table below the table and indicate in lowercase superscript. Use tables carefully and ensure that the data presented in the tables do not duplicate the results described in other parts of the article.
