Abstract

The increasing cases of terrorism and extremism unite practitioners and theoreticians to put serious attention to the role of education for peacebuilding. However, finding an appropriate strategy connecting literature education to peacebuilding is challenging. Thus, the study explored the effectiveness of engaging suitable literary works to be used at schools to convey a peaceful message through To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM) and The Kite Runner (TKR). The study was conducted in 4 classes of Literary Work Analysis course of IAIN Syekh Nurjati students in the second semester of 2018/2019 by applying Wahyudin’s (2018) five factors of peace education implementation in the classrooms. The study aimed to 1) investigate how to integrate peace education into the literature class and 2) elucidate the students' perception of peace education in the integrated literature class. It was found that applying peace education should consider 1) objectives, 2) subject contents, 3) methods and strategies, 4) media, and 5) learning evaluation. Students also perceived and learned about peace education by addressing some related issues in their papers and a survey.

Abstract

Every popular literature has a particular formula for certain intrinsic elements such as favorite plots, stereotyped characters, and accepted ideas. Therefore, the genre is widely accepted by readers. It represents familiar shared images and meanings that assert an ongoing continuity of values. Therefore, this study aims: (1) to elucidate the kind of melodrama formula used that makes a novel popular and widely accepted, and dramatizes moral value shared by its readers, and (2) to make justification on the cultural behavior or universal pattern that may underline its popularity. The object of the study is The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Descriptive analysis is used to explore the data with the Concept of Formula by Cawelti that serves as the theory. Based on the data analysis, the conclusions draw as follows. First, conventions and inventions of the social melodrama genre are used to dramatize sexuality in which it’s identified through the theme. Second, this shared moral value turns from traditional religious into the secular humanist world. However, this change remains to defense a monogamous life and family-oriented relationship.

Abstract

This case study investigates how an EFL teacher educator flipped the classrooms to promote 4C learning skills among student teachers planning a lesson. In lesson planning, collaborative works and participation of students are vital as both help students develop their knowledge. The flipped classroom as a breakthrough in the teaching and learning process provides more personalized learning and interaction from which students can benefit. Its implementation along with the 4C learning skills is required to face the new landscape of education after learning loss of the pandemic as the discrepancy of digital access and learning remains high. Thus, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking in flipped lesson planning activities are required to be illustrated. The data were collected from observation, interviews and document analysis. The findings suggest that pedagogical knowledge, technological knowledge and content knowledge are must-have competences of today’s educators to meet the demand of the 21st century learners. In addition, lesson planning for the novice is a long, meticulous process that cannot be completed in one go, and is integral to collaborative and communicative tasks to yield a more well-informed and sound outcome while accommodating creativity and critical thinking. Moreover, benchmarking and standardizing teachers, lecturers, or educators should be administered at some levels. Keywords: 4C learning skills; flipped learning; lesson planning; preservice teachers

Abstract

The concept of individuality's sense of self may trigger some conflicts in an ex-colonized country. The British colonized Nigeria for sixty years, and the colonization formally ended after Nigeria declared its independence on the first of October, 1960. A new Nigerian dictatorial government performs hegemony as the remnant of colonization. This phenomenon is represented in Purple Hibiscus, which is based on the military dictatorship in Nigeria between 1980 and 1999. This study aims to find the forms of hegemony and its negative impacts on the dislocation of identity. The research method is qualitative. The data is analyzed by Gramsci's hegemony and is supported by the concept of diaspora in postcolonialism. The data is obtained based on the dominant and subordinate conflicts. Purple Hibiscus presents three forms of hegemony: restricted media, religion, and the English language. The novel shows the negative impacts of hegemony: isolation, no individual choices, oppression, and dislocation of identity. The process of identity dislocation is portrayed through emotional attachment and the realization of life-changing seen through the acceptance and interaction with American people with different backgrounds, diverse cultures, and distinct environments.

Abstract

Female English teachers make significant contributions to their field, yet stories about them are under-researched. This paper presents the framework of an ongoing narrative inquiry aimed at understanding female teachers’ agency and its role in their professional identity construction during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on a systematic review of relevant research, the framework displays several key themes, including the significance of active learning and digital literacies, and the scarcity of narrative inquiries into female teachers. We thus argue that in order to gain insights into post-pandemic pedagogy, there is a need for studies that depict female English teachers’ agency in enacting their pedagogical competencies and showcase their continuous efforts in constructing their professional identities, despite the challenges that they face. Against the backdrop of our review, the teacher education curriculum must include course(s) on agency and identity construction.

Abstract

In the literature field, the investigation of self-identity within cultural and historical contexts offers insights into the life experience and self-belief of the character. This article examines the portrayal of self-identity in An Enola Holmes Mystery: The Case of the Missing Marquess, a book from Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes series, utilizing post-structuralist literary theory as its theoretical foundation. The article explores how the main character, Enola Holmes, negotiates and navigates her self-identity in a patriarchal Victorian society. It also investigates Enola’s identity construction within traditional gender norms and expectations. This study employed a descriptive methodology to examine the dynamicity of its main characters and plots. Referring to Jacques Derrida’s post-structuralism theory and the concepts of différance, the findings revealed that the fluidity of Enola Holmes’ self-identity challenges the traditional gender roles and binary expectations in the period, which emphasizes the instability of the meaning and self-identity. The primary findings include the character’s fluid identity, such as rejecting traditional gender roles, embracing individuality, affirming independence, and challenging authority figures. The second one is the character’s responses, such as seeking validation, desire for freedom, frustration with double standards, longing for acceptance, and oppression in femininity. The last one is the character’s self-discovery, such as embracing fluid identity and recognizing one’s value of femininity.

Abstract

The examination of grieving archetypes in contemporary American novels is crucial for understanding the cultural myths surrounding emotional expression, particularly the stereotype that "men don't cry, women do." This study addresses the gap in literature regarding the portrayal of gendered grief by analysing Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones." This research uses a descriptive analysis method and semiotic approach to investigate how characters' grieving processes reflect and challenge traditional gender norms. The findings indicate that male and female characters exhibit intuitive, instrumental, and blended grief patterns, thus subverting the conventional stereotypes. This study concludes that literary depictions of grief contribute to the broader cultural narrative and influence perceptions of gendered emotional expression, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding beyond simplistic stereotypes.

Abstract

This research investigates the issue of multiculturalism in Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner (2003). The novel narrates the friendship, betrayal, and redemption between two boys (Amir, who is from the Pashtun tribe, and Hassan, who is from the Hazara tribe) in Afghanistan, separated by social backgrounds and traumatic incidents. This research applies the Hybridity theory proposed by Homi K. Bhabha (1994), an Indian literary theorist and professor recognized for his contributions to postcolonial studies. A qualitative method is preferred as textual analysis heavily permeates the research. The main objective of this research is to center on Hosseini's presentation of the main characters in the novel, Amir and Hassan in the context of multiculturalism's failure in Afghanistan. The findings illustrate that the failure of multiculturalism between the Pashtun and Hazara tribes in the novel encounters challenges which include discrimination, persecution & violence, and systemic injustices. Efforts such as Building Inter-Ethnic Friendship and Solidarity and Against Discrimination and Injustice to overcome the failure of multiculturalism between Pashtuns and Hazaras fail due to the complexity of structural factors, limited access to healthcare and education, the persistence of violence and discrimination, differences in values and culture, and stereotypes and social practices in Afghan society.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the ways in which the main character's attachment to the white tiger figure can impact his personality and to describe the coping strategies that the main character employs in response to the white tiger attachment. The result of this research indicates that the main character, Margio, is depicted having deviant personalities after he believes that he possesses a white tiger inside his body. Margio’s belief in the attachment of the white tiger then led him to have deviant actions. Margio’s belief of white tiger figure can be explained by the cause of suggestion from the elders and childhood trauma he experienced from his abusive father. Margio’s deviant personalities also can be explained with coping strategies perspective. In the story, Margio portrays some coping strategies to cope with his problems. They are fantasy, denial, suppression, repression, and displacement. In conducting this study, I use psychological approaches by Sigmund Freud and coping strategies perspective. The novel Man Tiger by Eka Kurniawan is used as the primary data of this study and which was then analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods to achieve the purpose of the study. Based on the study's findings, it can be concluded that Margio, the main character of Kurniawan’s novel Man Tiger is depicted having deviant personalities. Margio’s deviant personality is caused by his belief of possessing an attachment with the white tiger figure inside his body. Moreover, Margio’s deviant personalities are also caused by the suggestion he received when he was child and his childhood trauma. In addition, the deviant actions also can be seen from coping strategies which are fantasy, denial, suppression, repression, and displacement.
