Abstract

This study investigated the experiences and challenges perceived by Indonesian EFL teachers as the NNESTs in Thailand. The study used a questionnaire and interviews to collect primary data from seventeen Indonesian EFL teachers in Thailand. The study discovered that most of the Indonesian EFL teachers are eager to teach English in Thailand to have teaching experience abroad, to improve their English skills, and to earn higher salaries. Besides, the Indonesian EFL teachers did not find difficulties in adapting to the new cultures in Thailand, even though adjusting to the teaching environment became a challenge. Moreover, third, the Indonesian EFL teachers were treated equally as the NESTs, although their salaries were lower than those of NESTs. Lastly, the study reported issues in English classes, such as students' motivations, linguistic gaps, and plagiarisms, which trigger the creativity of Indonesian EFL teachers in English classes.

Abstract

This study examines the symbolism of the hairball in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn through a Marxist lens, revealing its significance as a reflection of class struggle and power dynamics. The analysis is done qualitatively and it demonstrates how the hairball embodies materialism, exemplifies false consciousness, and reinforces the imbalance of power between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in the novel. By requiring payment for its fortune-telling services, the hairball highlights the pervasiveness of capitalist values. Furthermore, the study connects the hairball's symbolism to contemporary issues which highlight the novel's enduring relevance in understanding economic inequality and exploitation. This analysis shows that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn serves as a critique of the social world and reflects situations that continue to be relevant today.
