Abstract

This article applies Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) to Mona Lisa Smile (2003) to examine how nostalgic Hollywood cinema both reinscribes and subverts 1950s gender norms. Five strategically selected scenes (comprising 23 dialogue turns and accompanying visuals) were analysed using Lazar’s (2007) three-stage FCDA, supported by Eckert and McConnell-Ginet’s (2013) linguistic frameworks. The analysis reveals a sustained ambivalence, where feminist language is frequently undermined by visual and narrative conventions that re-centre domestic ideals. Drawing on Butler’s theory of performativity, Bourdieu’s concept of symbolic power, and audience reception studies (Radner 2021; Negra 2009), the study situates the film within broader patterns of postfeminist media. Comparative references to other "teacher films" and retro-set narratives illuminate how Mona Lisa Smile aligns with, yet diverges from, genre conventions in its ideological messaging. Findings suggest that patriarchal ideologies persist by assimilating the rhetoric of emancipation, highlighting the importance of teaching such films as contested texts. Implications for gender-sensitive media pedagogy and critical film literacy are discussed.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum was introduced to reform Indonesia's education system by fostering independent, enjoyable learning tailored to students’ interests and talents, with an emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. This study evaluates the effectiveness of reading comprehension questions in the Grade 11 English textbook Bahasa Inggris untuk Siswa SMA/MA Berbasis Profil Pelajar Pancasila (published by Yrama Widya) in promoting higher-order thinking skills through Barrett's Taxonomy. Using a descriptive content analysis approach, 118 questions across 10 units were analyzed, including 53 essay, 53 multiple-choice, and 12 true/false questions. Findings indicate a strong focus on literal comprehension (64.41%), with limited emphasis on inferential comprehension (20.34%), appreciation (4.24%), reorganization (3.39%), and evaluation (7.63%). This imbalance suggests the textbook may inadequately support the Merdeka Curriculum’s goals for critical thinking and problem-solving. The study recommends a more balanced distribution of question types to better align with the curriculum’s objectives, thereby enhancing students' critical and creative thinking skills in line with educational improvement goals.
