Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this research is to explore the shift in sexist language directed at men in an English novel that has been translated into Indonesian. The research aims to identify sexist expressions in the original English novel, analyze the translation techniques used in the Indonesian version, and evaluate their impact on the textual equivalence of the translated text. The theory used in this research is Benatar (2012) second sexism, Wareing (2004) classification of sexist expressions and Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework on translation techniques. The result shows that   based on Wareing's four categories of sexist expressions, there are three types of sexist expressions present in the novel. The most frequently used is sexism in discourse, contributing 67% of all sexist expressions. The second most common type is insult, making up 22%, and the last is symmetry and asymmetry, at 11%. The second finding indicates that the most frequently used translation technique for rendering sexist expressions toward men in the novel is literal translation followed by modulation. The third finding shows that literal translation preserves structural cohesion by maintaining the sentence structure of the source text, while modulation and established equivalence enhance cultural cohesion by adapting phrases that may not directly translate but retain the original meaning. Therefore, to translate sexist expressions, it is crucial to select appropriate translation techniques that balance fidelity to the source text with cultural relevance in the target language.Keywords: sexists’ expression, second sexism, translation technique, textual equivalence

Abstract

Abstract. This research examines the relationship between words and it’s meaning in religious terms and their impact on the formation of social identity, based on Ludwig Wittgenstein's language games theory. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and social discourse analysis of religious terms within the social context of Indonesian society. Terms such as hijrah, jihad, sharia, kafir, and bid'ah are analyzed to understand how their meanings shift and evolve over time. The findings reveal that the meanings of these terms are dynamic and heavily influenced by social contexts and usage within the community, playing a significant role in shaping and reinforcing the social identity of specific groups. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of understanding religious terms within a broader socio-cultural framework, where language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a dynamic instrument for shaping social identity. By demonstrating how the shifting meanings of religious terms influence group boundaries and social interactions, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of religious discourse and its role in the negotiation of identity within Indonesian societyKeywords: word, meaning, religious discourse, language game, contemporary Islam

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to develop supplementary reading materials for 10th-grade high school students in Jayapura, Papua. It is designed to help students understand English texts while introducing international, national (Indonesian), and local (Papuan) cultures. The study uses the research and development (R&D) model with the ADDIE approach. The needs analysis involved 220 students, followed by small group trials with 22 students and field trials with 65 students. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The results show that the developed materials meet students' needs, which were identified through a needs analysis focusing on students' reading difficulties, interests, and cultural exposure. The materials address these needs by incorporating culturally relevant content and interactive exercises. Additionally, they help improve students' reading comprehension through various strategies, such as text-based questions, vocabulary-building exercises, and pronunciation practice. The materials feature texts of 300–400 words, 30–40 new vocabulary words, vocabulary lists, and engaging images. Topics include historical sites, traditional foods, art, and customs. The implementation phase received positive feedback from students, teachers, and subject matter experts with an overall rating of 3.25 and 4.00, which is "very good." This research emphasizes the need to include intercultural values in English reading materials. Future material development should consider including localized and worldwide cultural values to improve students' involvement and understanding in reading English text. The resources are thus suitable as supplemental reading materials for enhancing English literacy and intercultural understanding.Keywords: intercultural values, material development, reading skills, research and development, senior high school

Abstract

Abstract. The reading comprehension question level in textbook is crucial because it provides teachers with a base on what to use in the teaching learning process. This study is concerned with evaluating and contrasting the distribution of question levels in reading comprehensions in two EFL textbooks used in Indonesian secondary schools: English for Nusantara for grade VI (hereinafter referred to textbook 1) and When English Rings A Bell for grade VI (hereinafter referred to textbook 2). Both were published by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, although for different curriculums. This study focused on assessing Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in reading passages using the revised Bloom's taxonomy. This study was designed using the descriptive qualitative approach and data was collected using a checklist table. The data were collected and evaluated to determine the percentages and frequencies associated with each level of thinking skills for the questions. The results showed that in both textbooks, LOTS were more prevalent than HOTS. In textbook 1, the percentage of LOTS is 79%, and in textbook 2, the percentage is 84%, whereas the percentage of HOTS is 21% in textbook 1 and 16% in textbook 2. Furthermore, memorizing (C1) is the most common question in both textbooks, accounting for 62% in textbook 1 and 78% in textbook 2. The findings highlight the need for curriculum developers and educators to reevaluate the complexity and cognitive demands of reading comprehension questions in English textbooks. By fostering higher-order thinking skills through more challenging and diverse questions, students can better prepare for real-world language use and critical analysis. As results, this study underlines the importance of aligning educational materials with the goals of developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which are essential for their academic and future professional success.Keywords: Thinking questions, coursebook evalaution, reading questions

Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the humanistic aspects portrayed in Michihito Fujii's film A Family, focusing on the struggles of yakuza members and their families under the restrictions imposed by Japan's Anti-Organized Crime Countermeasures Law (Botaiho). This research employs a descriptive qualitative method and Carl Rogers' humanistic theory to analyze how the characters, particularly Kenji Yamamoto, navigate social stigma while striving to reconstruct their self-identity. Rogers' concept of self-actualization and incongruence provides a crucial framework for understanding Kenji’s psychological struggles and the broader impact of legal and social exclusion. The findings reveal a connection between self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self in the characters' efforts to reintegrate into society amidst the marginalization effects caused by Botaiho. The film also highlights the broader implications of legal policies on individuals attempting to leave the criminal underworld, underscoring the need for a more inclusive and supportive social structure. This study contributes to discussions on humanistic values and the psychological impact of marginalization while providing insights into legal policies and their social consequences. Thus, it not only enhances our understanding of the individual struggles depicted in the film but also deepens our appreciation of universal human values. Future research could explore comparative studies on former gang members in different cultural contexts to further understand how legal frameworks and societal perceptions influence identity reconstruction and reintegration.Keywords: A Family, film, botaiho, yakuza, humanistic theory

Abstract

Abstract. The research on Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892) is motivated by the social reality of patriarchal oppression in marriage. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The study examines the critique of patriarchal oppression—the state in which societies grant men more power and privilege than women. The figure of John portrays patriarchal oppression as a husband who oppresses the narrator as a wife. The study reveals the effects of patriarchal oppression on the narrator’s life. There is also the narrator’s resistance to patriarchal oppression. This research explains further about patriarchal oppression resistance since previous studies focus on women’s difficulties in a patriarchal systemKeywords: patriarchal oppression, feminism, women, the yellow wallpaper

Abstract

Abstract. This study applies discourse analysis to examine how Al-Jazeera portrays Iran's nuclear program, highlighting its language choices, narrative strategies, and ideological frameworks. The results show that Al-Jazeera forms a defensive narrative for Iran, emphasizing the threat from Israel while downplaying the image of Iran's nuclear ambitions. In its reporting, Al-Jazeera strategically uses terms such as "deterrence," "threshold capability," and "fatwa limits" to portray Iran as a country that acts within its limits and only responds to external pressure, not as an aggressor. In addition, this study also highlights the dynamics of global escalation, especially how Russia and the United States play a role in influencing Israeli policy. Russia's warnings against attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and US diplomatic interventions show how global powers shape strategic calculations in regional security. In terms of ideology, Al-Jazeera's reporting reflects three main themes: support for Iran's nuclear strategy within the framework of state sovereignty, rejection of Western dominance, and criticism of US influence in Israeli policy. This editorial stance shows Al-Jazeera's tendency to challenge Western narratives and support multipolar geopolitical discourse. This study contributes to the study of media discourse by highlighting how language choices and visual elements in news reporting can shape geopolitical perceptions. By analyzing Al-Jazeera’s coverage, this study highlights the media’s role in constructing competing realities in international conflicts, while also offering insights into the relationship between journalism, ideology, and strategic communication in Middle Eastern mediaKeywords: ideological representation, iran-israel conflict, nuclear news, stuart hall, al-jazeera

Abstract

Abstract. Israel’s crushing defeat in the Al-Aqsa flood incident led to Yahya Sinwar being pursued by Israel’s allies, with his death later making headlines in various international media outlets. This study aims to uncover the ideology, power, and social relations reflected in the text, discourse, and sociocultural contexts of the news coverage of Yahya Sinwar’s killing using Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Primary data sources include news articles about Yahya Sinwar’s killing from international online media, while secondary data is drawn from books and articles relevant to the topic. The results of this study reveal that: (1) text analysis shows how Arabic-language media platforms use diction portraying Yahya Sinwar’s death as a representation of Israel’s dominance over Hamas and their ongoing relations, with Yahya Sinwar serving as the subject of the reported narratives; (2) discourse practices reveal that BBC News Arabic, France 24, and Al Jazeera, international media platforms targeting African and Middle Eastern audiences, present the discourse in distinct ways; (3) sociocultural analysis highlights that Yahya Sinwar’s killing is closely tied to the broader context of the Israel-Palestine conflict, involving various Israeli political elements and the social reactions of the Palestinian people. The findings of this study show that the narrative of Yahya Sinwar's death in various Arab media platforms has proven to have a significant social impact, namely giving rise to tensions between social groups in the Middle East and Africa regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis; Hamas; Israel-Palestine; Norman Fairclough; Yahya Sinwar

Abstract

Abstract. Investigating women's language features in novels offers insights into their portrayal in fiction. The purpose of this study is to investigate language features by the female main character in the novel The Poppy War by R.F Kuang. This study used Lakoff’s (1975) theory to analyze the dialogues used by the main character. This study applied a descriptive qualitative research design to collect and analyze data. The results of this study suggest that the main character mainly used hedges, tag question, rising intonation, intensifier, hypercorrect grammar, super-polite forms, avoidance of strong swear words, and emphatic stress as the language features. However, the results indicate the lack of use precise color terms and empty adjectives in the dialogues used by the main character of R.F Kuang’s The Poppy War. This study concludes that the dominant use of hedges and fillers suggests the main female character often mitigates her statements, reflecting uncertainty. In contrast, the lack of use of empty adjectives and precise color terms indicate that the female main character tends to focus on actions or strategies instead of showing emotional descriptions or visual details in their language features. The findings of this study indicate the perceptions of modern people to women from ancient era, adding to the insights to language features used by women. These findings can be valuable for both teachers and researchers who analyze the women’s language features in fiction.Keywords: Women Language Features, Fiction, Sociolinguistics
