Abstract

In the dynamic realm of academic writing, the strategies adopted by EFL postgraduate students and their supervisors play a crucial role. This study aims to unearth the complex tactics utilized in academic writing, accentuating the role of structured mentorship and modern technology in achieving authentic and original research articles. Undertaken in pre-eminent universities in Central Java and Yogyakarta, the qualitative inquiry hinged on the narratives of ten postgraduate students, drawing data from open-ended questionnaires and validated through focus group discussions. The findings reveal that mentorship, enriched with technological integration, fosters a harmonious blend of guidance and autonomous critical thinking, assisting students in pinpointing theoretical gaps and selecting suitable methodological approaches. The study illustrates a recurrent strategy: meticulous crafting of pivotal sections of research articles under seasoned supervision to preserve originality. The research propounds a learning paradigm where technology and guidance are intertwined, promoting adept navigation through research and writing processes. It beckons a future enriched with modern tools integrated into the curriculum, paving the way for qualitative enhancement in research dynamics grounded in authentic, original contributions.
