While in terms of solution, exploration, contribution, learning process, perception, difficulty, and text seems still gaining less attention compare the others. Therefore, these spots can be seen as research topic opportunity for future researchers to finding the niche. These result implies and also highlights that there are still many interesting topic to be explored regarding the scope of linguistics in language learning.
