Abstract

This study aims to investigate the nature and extent of classroom interactions using the Flanders Interaction Analysis Category System (FIACS), a valuable tool for identifying, classifying, and monitoring verbal interaction in educational contexts. Specifically, the study seeks to analyze the interaction patterns between teachers and students, as well as the role of teachers in a public senior high school located in Medan, Indonesia. Participants in this qualitative inquiry included 36 eleventh-grade students and an English teacher. Utilizing an observation tally sheet, video recording, and interviews with the teacher and some students, the data were collected on the conversation between teacher and students during two 60-minute class meetings. The results reveal that the interactions that occur in the EFL class comprise a sum of 10 FIAC components. The pattern of interactions between teacher and students in the classroom is characterized by two-way communication. During classroom interaction, the role of the teacher encompasses that of a motivator, organizer, and prompter.

Abstract

Numeral systems are the major counting methods found across languages. They are characterised by unique morphosyntactic structures to show numericity. The efficiency of communicating numbers is related to the morphological construction of numerals. These are also valuable sources for genetic classification. Besides, they play a vital role in establishing the antiquity of a cognate language. Peculiarly, the numeral systems of languages are the most vulnerable to elimination due to major or dominant languages. The quest in this article is to analyse the numeral morphology of Balmiki, a lesser-known language spoken in Odisha, and compare it with that of Kupia, a language spoken in Andhra Pradesh by the B/Valmiki community, to determine if their numeral structures are concealed or influenced by their encroaching languages. This study further contests a louder outbreak created during 2016-18 to ‘discover the Walmiki language’ by analysing a few unreliable numeral examples. In a series, this is the second study that compares and propounds conclusively to the fact that how these duo languages shed light on shared characteristics of numerals inherited or descended in other Indo-Aryan traditions from an etymological ancestor.

Abstract

This study delves into an analysis of depression portrayed in Jay Asher's novel Thirteen Reasons Why, with a focus on the protagonist, Hannah Baker. The aims of this study are twofold: to discern the type of depression experienced by the protagonist and to elucidate the impacts of this depression as depicted in the novel. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis seeks to vividly describe and interpret the subject matter. The findings of this study reveal that the protagonist's depression falls within the category of severe depression, characterized by symptoms such as suicidal thoughts and actions. Furthermore, the analysis uncovers several impacts of the depression, including self-blame, feelings of inferiority, and persistent thoughts of death. The protagonist harbors self-reproach for negative events affecting her life and others, while also grappling with feelings of inferiority stemming from instances of bullying, betrayal, rape, and other traumatic experiences that mar her reputation. These experiences ultimately contribute to her belief that death is an escape from her overwhelming depression. By shedding light on the depiction of mental health, specifically depression, in this literary work, this study provides valuable insights. In conclusion, it underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing severe depression and its profound impacts.

Abstract

This study delves into the portrayal of anxiety disorder in Sophie Kinsella’s novel, Finding Audrey. It aims to comprehensively analyze how anxiety disorder is depicted, as well as to explore the underlying causes and resulting effects on the protagonist. Employing psychoanalytic theories pioneered by Sigmund Freud (1964), this research intertwines the realms of psychology and literature to unravel the complexities of the protagonist's condition. Using a descriptive method outlined by Creswell, the study meticulously examines the novel's narrative to extract pertinent data. Through this approach, the research sheds light on various facets of anxiety disorder as portrayed in the novel. Notably, the analysis uncovers instances where the protagonist grapples with manifestations of anxiety, including feelings of threat and fear, as well as corresponding behavioral responses. The findings underscore the multifaceted nature of anxiety disorder, elucidating its nuanced effects on the protagonist's daily life. For instance, the protagonist’s coping mechanism of wearing sunglasses to evade eye contact serves as a tangible representation of her struggle with social interactions. Furthermore, the narrative elucidates how the protagonist’s anxiety manifests in her reluctance to attend school and her pervasive fear of leaving the safety of her home environment. By meticulously examining the interplay between psychological theories and literary representation, this study enriches our understanding of anxiety disorders while illuminating the narrative intricacies of Kinsella’s work.

Abstract

Every ethnic group has its own cultural identity and is used as a reference to distinguish between one ethnic group and another. Understanding cultural identity is important to avoid cultural conflicts so that all ethnic groups within a unitary society can live side by side in harmony. The core discussion in this research is related to Chinese cultural identity based on the novel To Live written by Yu Hua with two points of discussion, kinship system and marriage system, conducted by means of a qualitative descriptive method to obtain data related to social phenomena with the results of the analysis in the form of description. Concepts and theories relating to cultural identity, Chinese cultural identity, kinship and marriage systems are implemented to support the overall research. The results of the analysis show that wherever Chinese ethnic groups are located, they try to maintain their cultural traditions. In Chinese culture, kinship includes all members of the extended family and the essence of a marriage is the union of two extended families; both have values that must be used as guidelines based on the teachings of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism; the value of maintaining and preserving harmonization and norms to bind each individual to remain in the corridor of cultural tradition heritage.

Abstract

The marriage of the Batak Toba community is closely related to the role of Dalihan Na Tolu, something that cannot be separated from Batak Toba customs because Dalihan Na Tolu is a symbol of the social system of the Batak Toba people, which has three pillars consisting of Hula-hula, Dongantubu, and Boru. The function of Dalihan Na Tolu, besides assisting the respective relatives, also plays a role in providing the materials for carrying out traditional Batak Toba weddings. The purpose of this research is to describe the implementation of speech acts in the wedding of the Batak Toba indigenous people and also to describe the types of speech acts in the Batak Toba wedding. In this case, the theory of speech acts is taken from Austin, which is then developed by Searle. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method supported by data analysis techniques based on the information given by the community leaders in the village of Janggatoruan, Kecamatam, Lumban, Julu, Kabupaten, and Toba Samosir. The findings of this study are of four speech acts in the wedding: 1) representative speech acts; 2) expressive speech acts; 3) directive speech acts; and 4) declarative speech acts.

Abstract

This study explores the intricate conflicts experienced by the protagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Focused primarily on internal and external conflicts, the narrative follows a fellowship of nine individuals united by their quest to destroy the malevolent Ring, possessed by the dark lord Sauron, in the fiery depths of Mount Doom. Throughout their journey, the protagonist grapples with multifaceted challenges, providing rich material for analysis. Employing a literary psychological approach, this study draws upon Kenney's theory of conflict typologies to explore the protagonist's inner turmoil and the adversities encountered externally. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, the research meticulously examines these conflicts to unveil their profound significance within the narrative. The findings of the study underscore the protagonist's dual struggle, comprising internal and external conflicts. Internally, the protagonist contends with the classic conflict of man versus himself, navigating doubts, fears, and moral dilemmas. Externally, a complex web of conflicts unfolds, encompassing interpersonal clashes (man versus man), societal discord (man versus society), and the formidable forces of nature (man versus nature). By dissecting these conflicts, the study illuminates the psychological and narrative depths of Tolkien's work, revealing the protagonist's arduous journey as a reflection of universal human struggles against both inner demons and external adversities.
