Abstract

This study explores feminist themes in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, with a particular focus on the character of Celie as a symbol of resistance and empowerment. It aims to identify and analyze various forms of feminism represented in the novel, emphasizing how Celie challenges traditional gender roles and societal expectations. Employing a sociological approach to literature and drawing on feminist theories—specifically liberal and radical feminism—the research traces Celie’s transformative journey toward self-liberation. The findings reveal that Celie embodies both liberal and radical feminist ideals through her rejection of patriarchal authority and her pursuit of personal autonomy and gender equality. Her evolution—from a silenced and oppressed figure to a self-reliant provider and assertive individual—demonstrates themes of self-determination and resistance to gender norms. Celie’s portrayal as a resilient and resourceful woman, often exhibiting traits culturally coded as masculine, serves to critique gender stereotypes and advocate for a broader understanding of strength and leadership. Ultimately, The Color Purple stands as a powerful narrative that interrogates gender boundaries, promotes feminist discourse, and underscores the potential of individual agency to inspire social change. This qualitative study analyzes the original English version of the novel as its primary data source, with data—comprising words, dialogues, and key passages—collected through close reading and systematic note-taking. The analysis, grounded in the sociology of literature, identifies and interprets feminist elements to achieve the study’s objectives.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using Langsa City folklore, translated from Indonesian into English, in enhancing children’s English learning outcomes. The research background stems from students’ low motivation and limited English proficiency, as well as the need for contextual and culturally relevant learning media. The study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: the experimental group (n=30), which received instruction using translated folklore, and the control group (n=30), which followed conventional learning methods. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests of English competence, learning motivation questionnaires, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, both in English proficiency (p < 0.001) and learning motivation (? = +0.9). Qualitative analysis revealed that students were more enthusiastic and engaged with the material due to its familiar cultural values. The main challenges included limited time and difficulty in translating certain cultural vocabulary directly. Overall, the study concludes that translated Langsa folklore is an effective medium to enhance students’ learning outcomes and motivation in English language education. The implications emphasize the importance of developing local wisdom-based teaching materials to support foreign language learning in secondary schools.

Abstract

This study investigates how Pancasila Student Profile (PPP) values are integrated into an advanced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbook developed under Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka. Focusing on texts, tasks, and assessments, the study examines how character values are not only represented but also operationalized through instructional design. Using a qualitative content analysis approach informed by educational psychology, the analysis maps the distribution and enactment of six PPP dimensions across instructional components.The findings indicate that critical reasoning, global diversity, and mutual cooperation are most prominently embedded, particularly through discussion texts, collaborative activities, and argument-based tasks. In contrast, faith and noble character and independence appear more frequently as thematic messages than as structured competencies supported by explicit task design or assessment criteria. The results further reveal partial misalignment between value intentions and instructional accountability, as only a limited subset of values is consistently assessed.These findings contribute to international discussions on cultural and character integration in EFL curricula by demonstrating that value internalization depends less on thematic visibility and more on how tasks and assessments activate psychological processes such as reflection, perspective-taking, collaboration, and evidence-based judgment. The study offers a framework for evaluating character integration in language textbooks and provides practical implications for curriculum designers, textbook developers, and teachers working in value-oriented EFL contexts.
