Abstract

Emma is portrayed in the nuptial relationship which situates her to be conditional upon her husband power. She seemingly portrayed as a stereotype figure of a married woman. In fact, the closely reading gives us another insight of Emma where we can see her identity from another angle. The feminist angle in literary works was regarding patriarchal society which dominates the women’s portrayal of that time. The patriarchal flourished the society’s perception which considers that is men who ruled and controlled over women. This tradition had been stumped the women desire for approval of their existence. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the female protagonist identity and her desire portrayed and focused in “The Harness.” In order to reveal Emma’s identity and her desire, the study focus not only on Emma only but also Peter is analyzed as well, analyzing the relationship between the couple. Emma appears to be strong and independent. Although she is portrayed as a little skinny old woman who lies sick most of her lifetime, she can direct Peter not only to wear the harness but also to run and keep both their house and their farm as she wants them to be. Emma, in this sense, is very powerful and “masculine” from a modern gender point of view. Her identity seemingly is far from feminine in its reality.

Abstract

There has been a continuous debate among university lecturers in Indonesia regarding the proper literary theory integrated into literature subjects for undergraduate English education majors. The lecturers argue that literary theory, distinguished by its theoretical density and highly specialized jargon, is immensely daunting for undergraduate students and thus more appropriately taught at the graduate level of literary studies. As a result, the conventional literary classroom system should be shifted into the classroom with an ability to understand, to overcome the problems, and to implement the knowledge into the skills that are useful for contributing to students' success in the current condition. Therefore, implementing PBL in integrating literary theory into teaching English literature is essential in order to address the limitations outlined earlier. A qualitative research approach was employed in this study, utilizing a case study design to investigate a complex phenomenon or event within its natural context. After conducting a case study with the application integrating theoretical frameworks into literary analysis in Literature for Educational Purposes, it has been perceived a more comprehensible understanding of significant academic value has been perceived that literary theories contribute to the undergraduate literature classroom. Students are trained to evaluate, analyze, and give value to the text they have read. The application of literary theories in the literature classroom instruction has been proven to allow students to develop their literary comprehension.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve students’ reading comprehension by implementing Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS). This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles based on the model proposed by Kemmis et al. (2014). The participants in the study were 37 students from Class VII.5 at SMP Negeri 1 Kota Bengkulu. The data were collected through observation checklists, field notes, and reading comprehension tests. The implementation of TPRS consisted of three steps: establishing meaning, telling/asking a story, and reading. The results showed a very significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension, which was reflected in the increase in the percentage of students who achieved the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) from the first cycle to the second cycle. This improvement was also supported by the students’ increased engagement, participation, and positive responses during the learning process, indicating that the predetermined criterion of success was achieved. The implication of the findings is that TPRS is an effective instructional method to improve the seventh-grade students’ reading comprehension at the junior high school level.
