Abstract

This research explores the representation of feminist themes in Chetan Bhagat’s novel One Indian Girl, focusing on the character of Radhika Mehta. Through the lens of Betty Friedan’s liberal feminist theory, the study examines how Radhika embodies feminist ideals by challenging traditional gender roles, pursuing a successful career, and asserting her autonomy. The analysis highlights Radhika’s struggle against societal expectations, her commitment to achieving professional success, and her quest for financial independence. The findings demonstrate that Radhika’s character is a powerful example of feminist empowerment, serving as an inspiration for women to pursue their ambitions and challenge patriarchal norms. This study underscores the importance of education, gender equality, and personal freedom in achieving true feminist empowerment.

Abstract

The Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is a learning approach that focuses on students, where students are given more freedom in completing projects. However, the implementation of this method provides mixed perceptions among teachers. Some teachers face challenges in the form of limited assistance to students during the project completion process. In contrast, others perceive the method as supportive or challenging. This research explores teachers’ challenges with the Istiqlal English Course (IEC) in Probolinggo and the strategies used in implementing Project-Based Learning (PjBL), especially in teaching speaking skills. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving two main instruments: observation and one-on-one interviews. Moreover, the results state four challenges: Vocabulary limitations, students’ time, motivation, difficulty in assessing individuals, and intensive monitoring. The strategies are: building student courage, observing participation, setting time limits, using a detailed plan, and combining PjBL and traditional methods. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teacher training programs include practical guidance on time management and student assessment within a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) framework to support more effective implementation in speaking instruction in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms.

Abstract

In the world of audiovisual translation, subtitles are often used to help audiences understand foreign language content, such as English films for Indonesian audiences. However, subtitle translation is not a simple job, especially when dealing with complex linguistic elements such as idioms. Thus, this research aims to analyze how idioms in the movie “Madagascar” were translated into subtitles. The qualitative descriptive method is used for this research. The analysis reveals that the movie contains 79 idioms. Most of the idioms were translated using Baker’s four idiom translation strategies. However, there are several cases where an idiom was not translated correctly. Thus, it resulted in semantic loss and led to a failure in the audience’s understanding. Through this research, it is evident that linguistic, contextual, and cultural precision are critical requirements for translators.

Abstract

In the context of today’s global media culture, Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine portrays how individuals develop emotional attachment to mediated figures, as the main character forms a parasocial relationship with a musician. Although not fully explained in the narrative, this reflects a common phenomenon in the global era. This research aims to investigate the connection between mediated intimacy and the global era, as well as its impact on the development of individualism. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and drawing on Jean Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality, this research also explains how reality has been replaced by simulation via the media. The analysis reveals that the main character forms an emotional attachment based on media representations rather than fundamental interactions, symbolizing the shifting meaning of reality in modern life. Such attachment encourages the main character to withdraw from social situations and to prefer to live in an imaginary world. This reflects the rise of individualism in a global society influenced by the media. Beyond previous studies that primarily emphasize the psychological dimensions of parasocial ties, this research contributes by highlighting their cultural implications and significance in understanding contemporary social dynamics.

Abstract

This research constitutes a systematic literature review that investigates the application of tools and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in stylistic analysis. The objective of the evaluation is to identify the various types of tools and AI utilized in stylistics and to assess their respective advantages and disadvantages in facilitating language analysis. Since the selection of data sources is critical, the relevance of each article was carefully assessed to ensure analytical accuracy and applicability of the findings. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, nine pertinent articles published between 2015 and 2025 were examined according to specific inclusion criteria. The study’s findings reveal that tools such as Voyant Tools, WordSmith, LIWC, and StyloMetrix are extensively employed to analyze linguistic and stylometric characteristics across different text types, including poetry, emails, and texts generated by AI. While AI has demonstrated its ability to improve efficiency, objectivity, and analytical depth, it continues encountering difficulties in capturing linguistic subtleties and cultural contexts. This study advocates for a collaborative approach between humans and AI to achieve more thorough and precise stylistic analyses in education, literature, and forensic linguistics.

Abstract

This study explores Cleo’s loneliness in Coco Mellors’s Cleopatra and Frankenstein using a qualitative method. Although previous studies have examined loneliness in literary works, limited attention has been given to loneliness as an internal emotional condition that affects the dynamics of intimate relationships through the New Criticism approach. By using close reading, the analysis focuses on formal elements, namely characterization, plot, setting, symbol, and irony. Through this approach, the study reveals how Cleo’s loneliness is not a simply passing, but a condition that repeatedly shapes her decision, relationships, and sense of self. From moving, marrying, to hurting others, Cleo repeatedly attempts to escape from her loneliness. Rather than finding comfort from external connections, this study shows that Cleo finds emotional healing from within by returning to her artistic practice and transforming her pain into her art.

Abstract

This study explores how socio-economic background shapes the representation of girlhood in selected Indonesian children’s literature. Guided by Crenshaw’s intersectionality theory, which views identity as shaped by overlapping social categories, this study applies qualitative textual analysis to two storybooks from the Let’s Read Asia project, Cepat Kering, Bunga Kemboja! and Bukan Halangan. By using the close reading method, the analysis focuses on identifying scenes, expressions, and descriptions that construct different forms of resilience through different class contexts. The findings show that Ratih, a working-class girl, develops resilience and independence through financial hardship and self-sacrifice. On the other hand, Kapisa, the girl from a middle-class family, builds resilience through care, guidance, and access to information. These contrasting pathways demonstrate that social class strongly shapes the meaning of resilience and determines whether it is formed by necessity or through privilege. The study concludes that while both stories promote positive images of girls, they also risk normalizing inequality by presenting different class-based realities as equally admirable. These results highlight the importance of examining girlhood experiences at the intersection of gender, class, and age.
