Abstract

This study aims to find out the evidence of gender inequality experienced by Delia Jones in Zora Neale Hurston’s Sweat. The writer used a qualitative method in conducting this research. In collecting data, the writer uses two sources: the first is primary source, namely the literary work Sweat by Zora Neale Hurston, while secondary sources are references such as journals, books, and internet sources related and relevant to the research. In data analysis, the writer uses a feminist approach to analyze gender inequality. The result shows that Delia’s life as the main female character experiences several types of gender inequality that she must face in her life, such as marginalization, subordination, and violence. She can finally feel happy because she can be free from the threats that bind her. Her patience and wisdom brought her to safety. The writer hopes that through this research, readers can learn not to think that gender inequality is common because, basically, women have the same rights as men and should use wisdom to fight for life when our strength is limited.

Abstract

This research explores the phenomenon of contrast between speaking and writing skills in English among Indonesian seafarers, focusing on their professional experiences and the challenges they face. The study aimed to examine the frequency of use of the English language, the difficulties experienced in speaking and writing, and the strategies used to improve these skills. With a qualitative approach, data was collected through video call interviews with 10 Indonesian seafarers working on various ships abroad. Thematic analysis is used to identify patterns and themes that emerge from the data. The results of the study showed that most sailors felt more confident in speaking English. Because Speaking skills are more commonly practiced and are considered less challenging, although difficulties still arise, especially when communicating with native speakers due to accent and speed of speech. In contrast, writing in English is considered more complex, requiring careful attention to correct writing. The study concludes that special training support is needed for Indonesian seafarers to be able to develop their English skills, both speaking and writing. The study also highlights the importance of upskilling-based training to address this gap, such as English language courses and writing training focused on the needs of the maritime sector. This study suggests that Indonesian seafarers be given more structured training to improve these two skills to improve the quality of communication in the international work environment and also this program can improve their communication competence, thereby supporting efficiency and effectiveness in the global maritime environment.
