Abstract

This study focuses on the novel Beauty is a Wound, which was originally translated by Annie Tucker from the Indonesian novel Eka Kurniawan's Cantik Itu Luka (2002). This study was conducted to identify and analyze instances of gender inequality in "Beauty is a Wound." This study aims to: 1) identify the forms of gender inequality portrayed by women in Beauty is a Wound; and 2) the meaning behind inequality. The qualitative descriptive approach was adopted in this investigation. Mansour Fakih's (2013) idea is being utilized by researchers. The findings revealed that women face four categories of gender inequality: subordination (four), marginalization (six), violence (25), and stereotyping (five). In this study, the meaning of inequality is that (1) women's characters do not provide the same rights as other children to get education, study, and socialize; (2) prisoners appear helpless and do not have the right to manage their own lives, which results in marginalization; (3) they were subjected to poor treatment at the hands of Japanese soldiers, which resulted in both physical and psychological injuries, which led to the claim that it was violence; and (4) the assumption that they were vile individuals.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discover and provide a descriptive description of the internal elements that influence the high speaking achievement of the students. To gain additional knowledge regarding the elements that contribute to the student's high speaking performance, this research utilised a case study approach supported by quantitative and qualitative data. The data resources included two kids from SMKN 8 who had achieved high success in speaking English, their parents, teachers, classmates, and the headmaster of SMKN 8 Makassar. Observation, interviews, inventories, the TOEIC test, and documentation reviews were the instruments that were utilised in this study. Analysis of the data was performed according to its nature. A qualitative analysis was performed on the information gathered through observation, interviews, and the reading of documents. According to the findings, the internal factors that contributed to the student's high achievement were as follows: (a) a highly positive attitude; (b) a high level of motivation; (c) a high level of interest; (d) a learning style that was very high and positive in both visual and auditory terms; (e) a metacognitive learning strategy; (f) a very low level of anxiety; and (g) a high level of English proficiency as well. After considering all of these elements, it became clear that the student's great accomplishment in speaking was unquestionably due to factors that were internal to the kid.

Abstract

Speaking is a fundamental skill in English language learning, yet it remains one of the most difficult to master for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners. This study explores the key challenges that hinder speaking proficiency in Indonesian EFL classrooms and identifies practical solutions to address these issues. Using qualitative methods, classroom observation, teacher interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, the study reveals four major barriers: psychological factors such as anxiety and low confidence, instructional limitations including teacher-centered approaches and time constraints, limited exposure to authentic English input, and the absence of structured speaking assessments. The discussion connects these findings with recent pedagogical research from 2020 to 2025, emphasizing the need for affective support, communicative teaching methods, authentic language input, and formative speaking evaluation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of speaking instruction in the Indonesian context and provides practical insights for educators and policymakers aiming to design effective, communicative EFL speaking programs. This study contributes not only to practical classroom strategies but also enriches the current understanding of affective and instructional barriers in EFL speaking development in Southeast Asia
