Abstract

This study aims to explore the portrayal of South Sudanese cultural identity in the film The Good Lie, focusing on the main characters' efforts to maintain their cultural heritage while facing the challenges of displacement and resettlement in the United States. Using Evason (2018) theory of South Sudanese cultural identity and Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis, this study examines the ways in which South Sudanese cultural values, traditions, and social ties are portrayed in the film. The analysis highlights key cultural elements such as family ties, religious practices, and food sharing customs, which play an important role in preserving identity amidst change. The findings suggest that The Good Lie not only represents the resilience of Sudanese refugees in maintaining their cultural roots but also sheds light on the structural barriers that influence their resettlement process. This research contributes to discussions on cultural representation in media and provides insight into the complexities of identity preservation among displaced communities.

Abstract

Abstrak. Salah satu komponen bahasa yang sangat penting, metafora menunjukkan tingkat kreativitas dan kemampuan berpikir abstrak seseorang. Dengan mengacu pada model Big Five Personality, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari bagaimana kepribadian siswa tercermin dalam kemampuan mereka untuk mengonstruksi metafora dalam bahasa Inggris. Dengan menggunakan kerangka teoretis yang dikembangkan oleh Lakoff dan Johnson (1980), penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana kepribadian siswa tersebut. Studi ini melibatkan 65 mahasiswa Program Studi Sastra Inggris Universitas Negeri Makassar, yang dipilih secara purposif dan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Analisis tugas penulisan metafora, wawancara mendalam, dan catatan refleksi siswa adalah metode yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data. Analisis tematik menunjukkan bahwa Openess to Experience tampaknya menjadi komponen yang paling penting untuk memfasilitasi kreativitas linguistik dan keluwesan berpikir metaforis. Sebaliknya, Conscientiousness meningkatkan keteraturan dalam pembuatan metafora, dan neurotisme sering menghambat ekspresi kreatif karena kecemasan atau ketidakstabilan emosi. Sebaliknya, Extraversion dan kesediaan tidak selalu tampak signifikan; namun, mereka berfungsi untuk memberikan warna sosial pada konstruksi metafora dalam beberapa konteks. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kepribadian siswa tidak hanya mempengaruhi gaya komunikasi mereka, tetapi juga bagaimana mereka memaknai dan menyampaikan pengalaman mereka melalui metafora.Kata Kunci:  Kepribadian Big Five; Kreativitas linguistik; Konstruksi metafora; Sastra Inggris

It used descriptive qualitative method taking all twelfth-grade students of science class consisting of 31 participants as the data resources. Three instruments were utilized to gain the data, namely (1) observation, (2) questionnaire, and (3) interview. The findings of this study show that there were ten affective factors influencing students’ silence in the classroom. They are (1) feeling nervous, (2) lack of self-esteem, (3) lack of self-confidence, (4) fear of making mistakes and worrying about other people's judgment, (5) worrying about their inability, (6) feeling unable to meet the teacher's expectations, (7) students’ personality, (8) avoiding awkwardness, (9) feeling embarrassed, and (10) avoiding showing off their ability. These factors empirically indicate that students' silence during the teaching and learning process takes place in the classroom is not always influenced by their cognitive inability but the affective aspect turns out to be something that quite dominates their inability to express themselves. Based on these findings, it takes into account that the students were not able to participate in teaching and learning process because of affective factors that trigger their inactivity.Keywords: Affective, Passiveness, Silence
