Abstract

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson is a popular non-fiction work that conveys life messages in an honest, assertive, and sarcastic manner. This study aims to describe the style of language in the book from three aspects: word choice, tone, and sentence structure. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method with qualitative analysis. Data was collected through a literature review of the book, then analysed through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The theoretical framework refers to Gorys Keraf's concept of language style, which includes classification based on word choice (formal, informal, conversational), tone (simple, noble, middle), and sentence structure (climax, anticlimax, repetition, parallelism, antithesis). The results of the study shed light that the sentence structure aspect is the most dominant with 35 data points, followed by word choice (33 data points) and tone (30 data points). The word choice tends to be straightforward and reflective, the tone is casual yet serious, while the sentence structure is used strategically to reinforce the message and emotion. These findings indicate that style is the author's main tool in conveying ideas effectively and communicatively. The distinctive style, which is direct, straightforward, and full of honesty, makes it easier for readers to understand and resonate with the reflective messages in this book. This study is expected to serve as a reference in the study of language style in popular non-fiction texts.

Abstract

Writing skills are an essential component of language learning that enable students to express ideas and communicate effectively through written form. However, in many schools, students still experience difficulties in producing structured and coherent writing, particularly in composing news texts that require accuracy and factual presentation. This study aims to describe how the learning process of writing news texts takes place, the obstacles faced by students in the activity, and the steps taken by teachers to overcome student learning difficulties in grade VII of SMP Negeri 11 Pontianak City in the 2024/2025 academic year. The method used in this study is a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, direct communication, indirect communication, and document analysis. The research instruments included observation guidelines, interview guidelines, questionnaire guidelines, and supporting documents. To maintain data validity, source triangulation techniques were used, while data analysis was carried out using an interactive model. The results of the study revealed that learning to write news texts in grade VII of SMP Negeri 11 Pontianak City was implemented through three stages: the pre-instructional stage, the instructional stage, and the evaluation and follow-up stage. Obstacles experienced by students came from both internal and external factors. Teachers’ efforts to overcome student learning difficulties were carried out by providing additional assignments, building effective communication with students, and utilizing devices in the learning process.

Abstract

The phenomenon of ijime (bullying) remains a persistent social issue in Japanese society, exerting serious psychological effects on its victims. Among its most subtle yet pernicious forms are verbal ijime, or bullying through language, ridicule, and verbal humiliation intended to degrade an individual’s dignity. This study aims to identify the lexical forms employed in verbal ijime and examine their underlying cultural implications through a qualitative ethnolinguistic approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with native Japanese speakers, field observations in the Tokai region (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie), and analysis of documentation and field notes related to cases of verbal ijime. Research participants included victims and former victims of ijime, teachers, counselors, coworkers, and native speakers familiar with linguistic expressions of verbal bullying. Data analysis followed descriptive qualitative procedures, including transcription, reduction, classification of degrading lexicons, and interpretation of cultural meanings based on Duranti’s linguistic anthropology theory and Brown and Levinson’s politeness and speech act theories. Findings reveal that the lexical patterns of verbal ijime reflect Japan’s collective value system emphasizing wa (harmony), meiyo (honor), and social conformity. Derogatory expressions serve not only as emotional outlets but also as mechanisms that reproduce cultural norms reinforcing social hierarchy. Thus, language in verbal ijime functions as both a mirror of cultural ideology and an instrument of social control in Japanese society.

Abstract

Many readers appreciate Eldorado for its narrative appeal, yet the deeper philosophical challenges it raises about humanity’s pursuit of fulfillment often remain overlooked. This study offers a literary analysis of Edgar Allan Poe’s Eldorado, focusing on how the poem portrays human ambition, mortality, and the emotional progression associated with the pursuit of idealized goals. Using a literary analysis approach, the research examines Poe’s use of symbolism, imagery, tone, and poetic structure to explore the knight’s lifelong search for the mythical Eldorado as a metaphor for humanity’s quest for fulfillment and success. The analysis finds that the poem’s symbolic contrasts, rhythmic patterns, and tonal transitions collectively illuminate the psychological and philosophical dimensions embedded in the knight’s journey. In addition, the study situates Eldorado within the broader context of Poe’s writing, emphasizing its alignment with recurring themes in his literary canon, particularly the struggle between idealism and the limitations of human existence. The implications of this research highlight the poem’s continued relevance for literary scholarship and its value for educational and interdisciplinary applications, especially in discussions of ambition, identity, and life transitions. Overall, this study demonstrates that Eldorado functions not only as a narrative of quest but also as a contemplative exploration of hope, disillusionment, and the boundaries of human desire.

Abstract

Studies on gender representation in contemporary Indonesian film and series increasingly highlight how female characters challenge traditional norms of femininity. However, depictions of women with masculine traits are still relatively limited, creating a gap in understanding how such identities are constructed through visual and verbal signs in local media. This research discusses the representation of female masculinity in the series Bandelnya Judith by Andi Bachtiar Yusuf using Barthes’ semiotic study. The aim of this research is to describe the form of female masculinity representation through visual and verbal signs found in the series. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis, while data was collected through non-participatory observation technique (SBLC), note-taking technique, and recording technique. The research results show that Judith’s character represents masculinity based on Chafetz’s criteria, namely physical appearance, functional, sexual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, and personal character. Through Barthes’ semiotic theory, it was found that denotative meaning displays masculine behavior directly, connotation affirms values or views toward visual imagery, while at the myth level there is a shift in social meaning showing social beliefs regarding women’s roles. The emerging myths show that masculine traits are not only possessed by men. This research found six out of seven Chafetz’s masculinity criteria demonstrated by Judith as the main character. This confirms that Judith represents a woman with masculine character who challenges traditional gender stereotypes and presents a new view that masculine traits are not only possessed by one particular gender.

Abstract

Language is one of the important aspects in determining the feasibility of textbooks. This is because language quality determines the effectiveness of textbooks in delivering material. The use of inappropriate language can cause the learning process to become less optimal. As the main learning resource, textbooks need to present language that conforms to linguistic rules. This research aims to describe the language feasibility contained in Indonesian Language textbooks for SMK/MAK class X published by Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbud) and Erlangga. The type of approach used is descriptive qualitative with content analysis research method. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used are documentation and sampling, as well as conducting data analysis with an interactive model. The results of language feasibility research show that both textbooks obtained a very feasible category with a slight percentage difference. The Kemendikbud textbook received a percentage of 94%, while the Erlangga textbook showed a percentage of 92%. Overall, both textbooks show findings that are in accordance with the assessment indicators. Thus, this study is expented to be beneficial for teacher and students in using textbooks according to their needs. The findings may also contribute to the development of higher-quality textbooks in the future.

Abstract

The novel Please Look After Mom by Kyung-Sook Shin is a novel that describes the regret felt by each character due to the loss of their mother. Each emotion felt by the characters describes a psychological condition related to Krech & Cruthfield's psychology. This study aims to classify the forms of emotion experienced by the characters and describe the factors that cause the emotions felt by the characters in Kyung-Sook Shin's novel Please Look After Mom. This study uses a qualitative descriptive analysis approach. This study employs Krech & Crutchfield's psychological theory of emotions, utilizing a six-classification framework. Data collection techniques are carried out by reading and noting down things related to the study, then presenting the data by compiling important points. Based on the anaylisis, emotions are classified into six categories: (1) basic emotions; (2) emotions related to sensory stimulation; (3) emotions related to self-assessment; (4) emotions related to other people; (5) appreciative emotions; and (6) moods. The conclusion shows that there are 86 data points related to emotions based on this classification. The study's findings have implications for the development of literary psychology studies, particularly in understanding emotions. This research can also be utilized as literary learning material to enhance emotional awareness and deepen students’ or readers’ understanding of characters and human life. Therefore, this study is expected to broaden knowledge in the field of literary psychology and contribute to a deeper understanding of various types of emotions experienced by characters as representations of human emotional experiences.

Abstract

Physics learning in schools often remains dominated by conventional, teacher-centered approaches, limiting students’ opportunities to explore concepts and develop curiosity. This condition contributes to low learning outcomes and weak conceptual understanding. This study aims to analyze how guided inquiry-based learning modules can improve students’ curiosity and learning outcomes. The method used was a literature review by examining 50 Sinta 2-5 indexed articles published between 2017 and 2025. Then, 10 of the most relevant articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The results of the study indicate that the steps of inquiry observing, asking, formulating hypotheses, exploring, and concluding consistently foster students’ curiosity and increase their engagement in the learning process. In addition, all articles reported significant improvements in learning outcomes, demonstrated by increases in grades, conceptual understanding, and moderate to high n-gain. In conclusion, inquiry-based learning modules are valid, practical, and highly effective teaching materials in improving students’ curiosity and learning outcomes.
