Abstract

Therapeutic communication in English has become increasingly important in midwifery education, considering global health standards and the need for effective patient interaction across languages. Despite this, students often face barriers that hinder their ability to communicate therapeutically in English. This study investigates the internal and external barriers experienced by second-semester midwifery students in practicing therapeutic communication in English, and explores the coping strategies they employ. A qualitative descriptive design was applied with 26 second-semester midwifery students selected purposively. Data were collected through adapted questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify categories of barriers and coping strategies. The findings revealed that internal barriers included shyness, lack of confidence, low motivation, and fear of mistakes, with shyness being the most dominant. External barriers consisted of embarrassment, limited vocabulary, lack of preparation, grammatical errors, and peer judgment, with embarrassment identified as the most critical. Coping strategies involved preparation, relaxation, positive thinking, concentration, and peer support, with preparation and relaxation as the most effective. Practicing therapeutic communication in English presents multidimensional challenges for students, combining psychological, social, and linguistic difficulties. Integrating English for Specific Purposes (ESP) modules, simulation, flipped classrooms, and peer-based learning into midwifery curricula can enhance students’ confidence, communication skills, and readiness for international clinical practice.

Abstract

Changes in a society produce social critiques which in turn become a means of communicating new ideas in addition to assessing old ideas for social change, in short as a vehicle for the conservation and reproduction of a social system. Social critique can be conveyed through literary works; this is seen from the short story of Merdeka by Putu Wijaya. Through a dystopian literary approach and supported by related theories and concepts, it is revealed that this short story is full of social critiques as a result of the author's observations of his environment. The flow of dystopia is generally speculative, presenting a catastrophic or chaotic landscape of the future civilization of the world. Dystopian literature is always associated with socio-political discourse. Overall this research is carried out using a qualitative descriptive method with the aim of presenting a complete picture of the social setting and clarification of social phenomena in the short story of Merdeka and then synchronizing it with social reality. The results show that the forms of social critique conveyed by the author is lack of self-introspection, social gap and environmental damage. These three forms of social critique if uncontrolled can cause chaos in the social system because the main result is conflict, the color of dystopian literature.

Abstract

This research aims to provide an in-depth analysis of self-reliance and its major causes, focusing on the concept proposed by Emerson and other related theories and concepts. The study employs a sociology of literature approach, which is well-suited to examine the social environment of the characters within the literary work. Additionally, the behaviorism perspective is utilized to analyze the behavioral phenomena that arise in relation to self-reliance. According to Savatagi, the causes of self-reliance include social, economic, political, and human agency factors, which set the boundaries for this analysis. Delia Owens' novel Where the Crawdads Sing serves as the primary source for this qualitative descriptive study, with additional books and related publications as secondary sources. The findings indicate that Kya's self-reliance is primarily driven by unsupportive social conditions, which prevent her from becoming dependent on others. Instead, these conditions foster a perception of self-reliance that helps Kya develop into a strong, independent individual who does not rely on external help.

Abstract

This study explores feminist themes in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, with a particular focus on the character of Celie as a symbol of resistance and empowerment. It aims to identify and analyze various forms of feminism represented in the novel, emphasizing how Celie challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations. Employing a sociological approach to literature and drawing on feminist theories—specifically liberal and radical feminism—the research traces Celie’s transformative journey toward self-liberation. The findings reveal that Celie embodies both liberal and radical feminist ideals through her rejection of patriarchal authority and her pursuit of personal autonomy and gender equality. Her evolution—from a silenced and oppressed figure to a self-reliant provider and assertive individual—demonstrates themes of self-determination and resistance to gender norms. Celie’s portrayal as a resilient and resourceful woman, often exhibiting traits culturally coded as masculine, serves to critique gender stereotypes and advocate for a broader understanding of strength and leadership. Ultimately, The Color Purple stands as a powerful narrative that interrogates gender boundaries, promotes feminist discourse, and underscores the potential of individual agency to inspire social change. This qualitative study analyzes the original English version of the novel as its primary data source, with data—comprising words, dialogues, and key passages—collected through close reading and systematic note-taking. The analysis, grounded in the sociology of literature, identifies and interprets feminist elements to achieve the study’s objectives.

The research aims to analyze the different types of feminism manifested in the novel, examining how Collins challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations through her protagonist. The study applies sociology of literature approach, which considers the social context and implications of literary works, and utilizes feminist theories, including liberal and radical feminism, to interpret Katniss’s journey. The findings suggest that Katniss embodies both liberal and radical feminist ideals, using her defiance of oppressive authority to fight for personal freedom and gender equality. Katniss’s actions, from assuming the role of family provider to resisting the Capitol’s control, exemplify the themes of self-determination, independence, and the rejection of traditional gender norms. The portrayal of Katniss as a resourceful and brave figure, often adopting traits typically associated with masculinity, reveals the novel's critique of gender stereotypes and its call for a more inclusive understanding of strength and leadership. Ultimately, The Hunger Games serves as a powerful narrative for discussing feminism, challenging the boundaries of gender roles, and highlighting the potential for individual actions to spark social change.

Abstract

The differences between the Uken and Toa dialects are easy to identify in the daily conversations of the speakers. Speakers of these two dialects are still easy to understand each other. The differences occur in several vocal sounds, intonation, some vocabulary, as well as some greetings in everyday dialogue. The aim to be achieved in this research is to find out the differences between the Gayo Uken and Toa dialects. The research method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method. The differences in conversation between the Uken and Toa people can be seen in terms of their pronunciation when interacting. Besides, there are also slight differences in vocabulary between the two dialects. The differences between the two Gayo dialects occur in the vowel phoneme change and consonant one. The variations of the phonemes used in both dialects stay at the same meaning, but they are pronounced differently. As a result, based on the pronunciation of the Uken and Toa dialects spoken by the community, there are many phoneme variations. Every spoken word produces dissimilarities in vowel phonemes and consonant phonemes.

Abstract

This study analyzes the realization of mood and modality in Detective Sergeant Terrence’s dialogues using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework. This study aims to analyze mood structure, mood types, and modality contained in detective Sergent Terrence. Alice and the Fly novel by James Rice is about Greg who has Schizophrenia. He falls in love and becomes obsessed. He killed the girl he liked. So detective Sergent Terrence must find out what really happened to him. The data used in this study were from the Alice and the Fly novel by James Rice. This study was written using a descriptive qualitative method. The steps to analyze the data were starting from specifying the data based on the categories that I would analyze. From the result of this study, it can be concluded that the detective uses the mood structure of a finite subject when he communicates with the five characters. Then the use of the interrogative shows the detective wants to know more information about the murder case rather than stating or ordering something. In modality analysis through the use of a modal finite operator and mood adjunct, the results show that the detective tends to use a modal finite operator with low value.
