Abstract

Gender issues are endless issues to be studied. The increasing number of women entering the workforce makes gender issues becoming increasingly interesting to discuss. One of the films that raised the issue of gender in the workplace is The Assistant (2019). This current study aims to analyse the issue of gender oppression experienced by the main female character in the film who works in a male-dominated company, especially those related to cultural imperialism. It uses a qualitative method using dialogue as the main data. These data will be analysed using the theory of the Five Faces of Oppression by Iris M. Young. The results of this study indicate that Jane experiences cultural imperialism which is influenced by the social norms prevailing in patriarchal culture. The cultural imperialism also triggers other forms of oppression which include the marginalization of women, exploitation of labour, and the powerlessness towards male co-workers and superiors. These oppressions occurred because of Jane's status as a woman and her position as an assistant. Jane experiences oppression because social norms and practices governing gender roles in society are also still applied in the workplace. Eventually, this research reveals that tasks that are usually done by women outside of their responsibilities can be categorized as oppression in the form of cultural imperialism which can reinforce oppression in other forms. Therefore, gender awareness is needed to be able to minimize acts of oppression for women in the workplace.

Abstract

The purpose of writing this article is to find out the standard of service in English and the ability of Java Heritage Hotel employees to speak English. Hotel Java Heritage is one of the 4-star hotels in Purwokerto. Hotel Java Heritage provides a variety of facilities and services provided for the satisfaction of guests staying at the hotel. This hotel is not only visited by domestic guests, but also visited by foreign guests. The use of English in the hotel environment is very important as a means of communication and good service to foreign guests. Hotel employees, especially the front office, use English as a medium to communicate with these guests. However, the different educational backgrounds of hotel front office employees make each employee have different English skills, especially in communicating using English. In communicating in English, front office employees face several obstacles, such as when a foreign guest speaks, the employee cannot understand the meaning because the guest speaks too fast and the lack of English vocabulary or vocabulary makes it difficult for employees to pronounce a word or sentence. Therefore, to improve employees' English skills, the hotel management can provide intensive English training or courses to employees
