Abstract

Poetry, as a form of literary expression, plays a significant role in conveying complex emotions and abstract ideas through imaginative language. This study aims to analyze the use of figurative speech in Helena Natasha’s poetry collection Dreams Spelled in Poetry, which explores themes of dreams, identity, and personal aspirations. The research is significant in providing a deeper understanding of how figurative language contributes to meaning-making and emotional expression in contemporary poetry. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach as proposed. The data were collected through documentation techniques focusing on poetic lines containing figurative expressions. The analysis is based on theory of figurative speech, which classifies twelve types of figurative language. The data were analyzed using the interactive model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that 402 instances of figurative language were identified, with metaphor (68%) and personification (14%) as the most dominant types. These results indicate that Helena Natasha predominantly employs metaphorical and humanizing expressions to convey emotional depth and abstract meaning. The study concludes that figurative language plays a central role in enhancing the aesthetic and interpretative value of poetry.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of ideological motherhood and waiting in Lyora by Fenty Effendy. Its significance lies in revealing how maternal trauma is constructed and normalised through literary language within ideological expectations of motherhood. The object of the study is the novel’s representation of motherhood, analysed through a literary stylistics framework informed by trauma theory (Vickroy), feminist motherhood (O’Reilly), and Baraitser’s concept of waiting. This qualitative study employs close reading as the method of data collection, focusing on narrative passages that depict waiting, silence, and emotional restraint. Data are analysed stylistically through lexical choice, narrative tone, and patterns of emotional expression, and reported descriptively to demonstrate how meaning is constructed. The analysis shows that maternal experience is shaped through waiting, silence, restraint, and endurance rather than open emotional expression. Motherhood is framed as a moral responsibility rather than personal choice. Loss and disappointment are conveyed in controlled language, while anger and frustration are softened or omitted. Waiting functions as a narrative strategy regulating time, emotion, and the female body. These findings indicate that maternal trauma is normalised through patience and acceptance, while silence is reinforced as a socially acceptable response to suffering.

Abstract

The use of digital technology in English language learning is becoming increasingly important to improve student engagement and learning quality. However, the use of Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs) in English classes has not always been accompanied by optimal pedagogical use. This study aims to analyze the pedagogical use of Interactive Flat Panels in English language learning at the senior high school level, identify their pedagogical benefits, and reveal the obstacles faced by teachers in their implementation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a classroom-based study design. Data were collected through learning observations, interviews with English teachers, and documentation of learning activities. The results show that IFPs are used to display video materials, presentations, listening exercises, and digital-based interactive games that increase student participation and engagement. However, limited technical understanding and the need for repeated training are major challenges for teachers. This study concludes that effective use of IFPs requires teachers' pedagogical readiness and support for continuous professional development.

Abstract

In the digital era, online platforms have transformed the way literature is produced and consumed, providing new spaces for marginalized voices to emerge. This study explores how women articulate their voices, identities, and lived experiences through digital literary works on Wattpad. Anchored in the framework of feminist literary criticism, the research analyzes the representation of female characters, dominant narrative themes, and stylistic patterns employed by women authors. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, several popular Wattpad stories written by female writers were examined to uncover how digital narratives reflect feminist consciousness. The findings reveal that Wattpad functions not only as a site of popular entertainment but also as a medium of emancipation and symbolic resistance against patriarchal structures. Female protagonists are often portrayed as independent, self-aware, and empowered figures who challenge traditional gender norms. Aesthetically, the narratives exhibit the characteristics of ecriture féminine, a writing style that emphasizes emotional depth, intuition, and embodiment. The study concludes that women’s digital literature on Wattpad represents a dynamic form of contemporary feminist expression, where new media act as platforms for self-articulation, solidarity, and gender awareness. This demonstrates that digital culture plays a vital role in reshaping the boundaries of literary production and in amplifying women’s voices in the modern literary landscape.
