Abstract

(Title: The Interdependence Between Human and Nature in Craighead Jean George's "My Side of The Mountain"). Centering from the belief that literature is an important media to remind people about the significant role of the environment and to stimulate awareness about its critical condition, this study explores ecological discourse in Jean Craighead George's My Side of the Mountain. It aims to reveal an interdependence between people and nature. Applying qualitative content analysis, this study shows that the interdependence between people and nature is different in degree. People have a strong dependence on nature, whereas nature is an independent entity and scarcely needs people to support their life. Sam in My Side of the Mountain has been nurtured by nature. It provides him food, shelter, and protection from any inconvenient weather. However, Sam is careless and ignorant. He focuses on fulfilling his needs and neglecting his surroundings. In the novel, nature is dominated and positioned as the object to fulfill humans' needs and desires. Keywords: literature, nature, human, interdependence

Abstract

(Tittle: Adults-Children Power Relations in Judy Blume's "Blubber"). This study aims to uncover the power relations between adults and children in Judy Blume's novel entitled Blubber. This study used a qualitative method by paying attention to the expressions used in the novel related to the topic of power relations of adults-children. Peer debriefing techniques were applied in this study in order to achieve the validity of the research results. The collected data of dialogues and narrations suggest that adults assert dominance toward children especially physically and psychologically as a consequence of the adults' ideologies while trying to retain the image of a mentor. On the other hand, they also give spaces for children to grow and develop themselves. The research also revealed how Blubber paints a more realistic depiction of children and explores more of their human nature beyond images of innocence and naivety.             Keywords: abuse, Blubber, children's literature, egalitarian, power relations

Abstract

This article presents a report on the needs analysis of Javanese learning for speakers of other languages. Applying the descriptive-analytical method, this study used data gathered from the survey of 57 participants from 27 different countries. The present study revealed that the most difficult aspect of studying Javanese is on mastering its vocabulary (54.8%). This condition limited the learners' confidence to engage in any conversation with the locals (74.2%) and made them less progressive in some other related competencies such as reading and writing. Based on the participants' responses to the survey, the approach recommended to facilitate the program of Javanese for speakers of other languages is the communicative approach. The design of the program targeted proficiency in communicating using Javanese. Vocabulary learning is needed in real situations and contexts. Therefore, the learners could improve their capacity in Javanese and engage with the local people better.  Through its comprehensive examination of the challenges, opportunities, and potential solutions, this research not only contributes to the field of language education but also reinforces the value of embracing linguistic diversity as a cornerstone of our shared human experience.
