Abstract

One of the significant points in post-colonial literature is identity issues. The analysis of these identity issues should be focused not only on the colonized character but also the colonialist. It is obvious why post-colonial scholars are concerned with the colonized as they are the victims of colonialism. However, the colonizer must also face complex issues of identity when arriving in the colonial place. The purpose of this article is to examine the identity issues undergone by Joshua, the colonial subject, and by Clive, the colonizer, with reference to Cloud Nine by Caryl Churchill in the colonial period. The concept of hybridity by Homi Bhabha can explain the issue of Joshua’s identity since he has “double” portrays of the identity as legacy of colonialism. Bhabha created the terms the “third space” or the “in-between” to describe the condition of the colonized people. Clive as the colonizer used to be a person without particular authority in his own country before arriving to the colonial land. Suddenly, his identity has shifted into someone who has privileges and authority. The colonizer’s identity is not complete without the colonized. The colonized and the colonizer depend on each other. The colonized and the colonizer’s identities will be fragmented if one of them is missing.

Abstract

This study investigates the barriers to English competence among publishing students at higher education institutions in Jakarta and explores the challenges these barriers pose for their academic and professional success. Despite the growing importance of English proficiency in the publishing industry and global academic communication, many students continue to struggle with language-related issues that hinder their learning outcomes and future career prospects. Through a mixed-method approach involving surveys and interviews with students and lecturers, the research identifies key obstacles such as limited exposure to English in daily academic contexts, lack of confidence in using English productively, and gaps in curriculum alignment with industry demands. The findings suggest that these barriers contribute to reduced engagement in English-based learning materials, limited participation in international publishing opportunities, and decreased competitiveness in the job market. The study concludes with recommendations for institutions to enhance English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction, integrate more authentic publishing-related English tasks, and foster an immersive language environment to better equip students for the global publishing landscape
