Abstract

This research aimed to discover the reflection of schizophrenia syndrome in Joanne Greenberg’s I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and the reasons why Joanne Greenberg wrote the novel. The research used a descriptive method. The data were divided into two categories: primary data and secondary data. The primary data consisted of the main information taken from the novel I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. The secondary data included the biography of the author and related literature, such as books and online sources, to support the analysis. The data were collected by reading the novel several times, analyzing its dialogue and themes, noting dialogues related to schizophrenia syndrome, and studying the historical background of the author, Joanne Greenberg. In analyzing the data, the researcher applied a genetic structuralism approach, focusing on both the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of the novel. The results of this analysis showed that Deborah Blau, the main character, suffered from schizophrenia syndrome due to her environment. She experienced hallucinations and delusions, which indicated paranoid schizophrenia. She received treatment through psychotherapy administered by her doctor in a mental hospital. Joanne Greenberg wrote the novel to depict the reality of life for people with mental illness. Additionally, the novel was inspired by her personal experiences, which she transformed into the story.

Abstract

This study explored the dual role of code-switching in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, examining whether it functioned more as a tool to support comprehension or as a hindrance to fluency development. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research involved three English teachers and ten intermediate-level students in a bilingual educational context. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analysed thematically. Findings revealed that when used strategically and sparingly, code-switching served as an effective pedagogical scaffold, enhancing comprehension, reducing learners’ anxiety, and fostering confidence—particularly among lower-proficiency students. Teachers reported that occasional use of the students’ first language (L1) maintained lesson flow and facilitated understanding of complex material. However, excessive reliance on code-switching was found to limit students’ opportunities to practice English, foster dependency on L1, and impede the development of fluency and communicative competence. These findings underscored the need for a balanced and principled approach to code-switching, where teachers used L1 judiciously to support learning while progressively increasing English use to promote fluency. The study contributed to the ongoing debate on the pedagogical value of code-switching, highlighting its potential as a flexible instructional strategy when applied thoughtfully within learners’ sociocultural and linguistic contexts.
