Abstract

In foreign language learning, grammar is a crucial element in communication, and without the correct organization of grammar, language exchange is intruded. This study explored grammatical issues in students’ narrative writing. Data were collected from students’ narrative writing products that belonging to an English One class of the Accounting Diploma III Program of Bina Sarana Informatika University, Jakarta, Indonesia. The collected data were analyzed to examine grammatical issues encountered by the students using Dulay (1982) surface strategy taxonomy, which covers omission, addition, misinformation, and misordering errors; and Sadiah and Royani (2019) for verb of tenses, punctuation and preposition. Results showed there were totally 51 grammatical errors identified in the students’ writing products, specifically, existed 30 errors of others, 8 omission errors, 6 misinformation errors, 4 misordering errors, and 3 addition errors. It is expected that the findings can assist teachers and learners in overcoming grammatical issues, so that the teachers can use better solutions in teaching grammar and the learners can improve their English grammar and writing skills.

Abstract

This research examines Maya Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman" (1978), analyzing the self-confidence it represents, the role of defying beauty pressure as the mechanism constructing that confidence, and the feminist framework explaining both. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a feminist literary criticism approach, the study draws on Bell Hooks' “Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center” (1984) as the grand theory, Naomi Wolf's “The Beauty Myth” (1991) as the first supporting theory, and Albert Bandura's “Self-Efficacy: The Exercise of Control” (1997) as the second. Data consist of words, phrases, lines, and stanzas directly relevant to the research focus. The findings reveal three interconnected results. First, self-confidence is not innate but a dynamic achievement, built stanza by stanza through repeated self-affirmation, especially the recurring refrain "I'm a woman / Phenomenally... That's me." Second, beauty pressure appears through the speaker's acknowledgment of narrow societal standards, social skepticism toward women who resist them, and the objectifying male gaze all named and refused, replaced by a self-authored vocabulary of worth. Third, the feminist approach shows these elements form one trajectory: from marginalization by beauty pressure, through self-definition as resistance, to a stable, self-authored identity. The poem thus enacts the full feminist arc from imposed beauty pressure to its dismantling, showing literary creation and feminist liberation as inseparable.

Abstract

The unequal power dynamics that structure intimate relationships are often naturalized rather than critically examined, particularly in biographical representations of public figures. Sofia Coppola’s film Priscilla (2023) renders such dynamics unusually visible through its depiction of the marriage between Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu. This study aims to identify the forms of gender regulation enacted by Elvis Presley over Priscilla Beaulieu and to examine how Judith Butler’s (1990) theory of gender performativity explains these mechanisms as a form of interpersonal control. Using a qualitative textual analysis method, primary data were collected through repeated viewing of the film and classified into five analytical categories derived from Butler’s framework: performativity and citationality, regulatory practices, the heterosexual matrix, compulsory performance, and subversion. The findings show that Elvis exercises control through five interconnected mechanisms: dictating Priscilla’s physical appearance, sanctioning her deviation from expected conduct, naturalizing his authority, compelling her to conceal her true feelings, and inadvertently producing the conditions for her eventual resistance. These mechanisms do not operate in isolation but interlock into a single system of gendered control, one that, within the same performative structure, also contains the conditions for disruption and transformation.
