In this study, Zyad (2017) states that the current test is to expect cross-language L2
cross-vocational learning research through three levels of ability from two post-
secondary institutions. This study uses qualitative methods with ANOVA and means
writing demoghrapics and prompt. Data is collected through a written test. This study
was applied to 90 participants consisting of second and third grade students who of
course differed in their level of ability and arrest. From this study the authors reveal that
diversity is a good sign for development in the context of writing between the quality of
writing first grade students and second grade students. This shows that efforts must be
made to improve in the second or second year to accelerate students' lexical
development and maximize student learning benefits.

The diversity of lexical wealth must be increased. This increases students' vocabulary
because in the vocabulary property mastered by students it is also important in the
quality of the writing they make. The diversity that occurs is a good sign, which means
that it must be developed further to determine the performance of each student in their
writing. The researcher advises instructors to understand the diversity of lexical wealth
in Indonesia. In the same context, to assess student writing, the teacher needs to
examine developments on various lexical sides to provide an assessment and
appreciation of student performance in writing. This article will be used in my research
of writing and will be very helpful in my next qualitative research methodology
proposal.

among Iranian English language learners. Asian Englishes, 1-18.

In this article, Rezaei, Koshravizadeh and Mottaghi (2018) have a purpose to state that
research results can contribute to the behavior of Iranian English students and the
contributions from classroom teaching can be applied in teacher training in Iran (p. 1-2).
The method used was a mixture taken through by interviews and questionnaires
conducted to one hundred forty participants. The collected data was divided into two
parts and analyzed, for the first part of the data is 140 participants had to fill in a verbal
questionnaire, and for the second part of the data, 25 of 140 participants were taken to
conduct interviews. The findings of this article are that Iranian students have better
behavior towards Br RP EN (Acceptable English) than Am EN (American English). On
the other side of this study, the scores of participants in Iran got the same results
between Br Rp EN and Am EN (p. 10).

The main limitation of Rezaei et al.’s results is that they only took twenty-five samples
to join in the interview. therefore, further research needs to pay attention to the cultural
background of the participants, their L1, and the length of their exposure to English
because it can affect test results. The authors argue that the conclusion of this study is
that EN (local English) is an Iranian standard language, and the Per EN score is lower
than EN, Am EN and Br EN. This article will be used in my research proposal for
Qualitative Research Methods this semester.

complexity in China’s university classroom. Cogent Education, 1-13.
doi:10.1080/2331186X.2018.1485472
The purpose of this article is to find out the effect of corrective feedback at Chinese
universities through speaking exams (p. 2). The method used in this article uses
quantitative through the assignment of assignments and questionnaires as a sign of the
instrument aimed at twenty-four EFL students divided into two parts, each group
consisting of twelve women and twelve men. In analyzing the data there are two parts
and sessions, the instructor divides into six groups consisting of four people each group.
The first session is the task of the instructor to students consisting of simple tasks and
complex tasks. And in the second session is filling out questionnaires by students. The
authors argue that implicit corrective feedback does not have interaction characteristics,
so to produce the best development of L2, explicit corrective feedback is more effective
(p. 8).

For the limitations of Zhai and Xing's research, it was limited to twenty-four
participants and they only gave a little time to do the tasks they gave. The next research
is it is better to take more samples to find out the validity of the data and various results
to obtain references from various data generated from several samples used in the study.
The author concludes that corrective feedback on EFL speaking has a positive effect on
students because through corrective feedback students can find their mistakes in their
speaking assignments. This article will be used for discussion of English issues in my
team and for my research in essay.
