Abstract

This research aims to dissect the constituent elements of the poem "O" by Sutardji Calzoum Bachri through the perspective of a structural approach. As one of the pioneers of contemporary poetry in Indonesia, Sutardji displayed extreme uniqueness through a grammatical rebellion that freed words from the confines of conventional meaning. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive with literature study techniques (documentation). Based on structural analysis, the poem "O" indicates the existence of a close organic unity between the physical structure and the mental structure. The physical structure is dominated by circular/uppercase O typography and versification of assonance rhymes /o/ which creates a magical spell-like effect. Meanwhile, the mental structure reflects the themes of transcendental silence, suffering, and deep human existential emptiness. The results of the study concluded that the visual and sound modifications to the physical structure of the poem "O" are not just aesthetic decorations, but concrete representations of the essence of the inner meaning of the poem that depicts the endless cycle of grief.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the perceptions of undergraduate students in the Elementary School Teacher Education program regarding their English courses. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive study employing a survey approach, involving all active students in the even semester of the 2025/2026 academic year as the sample. The research instrument consists of a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire that measures the clarity of teaching methods and instructions, student engagement, the relevance of the material, the variety of methods and media, as well as the impact of learning on motivation, self-confidence, and interest in learning. The results of the study indicate that students have a positive perception of the courses, particularly regarding the relevance of methods, classroom interaction, and the use of engaging media. Active methods such as group discussions, storytelling, game-based learning, and project-based learning are considered more effective than one-way lectures because they enhance student engagement and understanding. However, some students still experience low self-confidence and difficulty retaining material. These findings emphasize the need for communicative, contextual, and practice-oriented learning strategies to improve the English proficiency of prospective elementary school teachers. The research results provide a foundation for the development of more effective and relevant learning strategies.

Abstract

This study analyzes speech acts types in Ariana Grande’s song We Can’t Be Friends. The song explores themes of heartbreak and personal growth, providing insight into emotional complexity. The descriptive qualitative method was employed in the study. The forms of speech acts are identified based on Searle’s theory, comprising of expressive, representative, directive, commissive, and declarative. The analysis identifies key speech acts in the lyrics: expressive acts (15 lines); representative acts (10 lines); directive acts (4 lines); and commissive acts (3 lines). Representative acts contextualize the emotional narrative, while directive acts guided the listener toward introspection. Expressive acts dominated the lyrics, conveying grief and self-reflection, while commissive and declarative acts emphasized the emotional transformation and desire for change. The findings demonstrated that the song used linguistic elements not only to explore personal emotions but also to foster emotional connections with the audience.

Abstract

This study analyzes Harold Pinter’s play Betrayal (1978) through the theoretical lenses of male homosocial desire, as proposed by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and mimetic desire, as proposed by René Girard. The primary focus of this study is to deconstruct the friendship between Jerry and Robert, which has long been regarded as the foundation of stability but is, in reality, a complex psychological battlefield. Using descriptive qualitative methods and close reading techniques, this study reveals that the male-male relationship in the play is constructed through the exclusivity of masculine spaces and rituals that position women (Emma) as commodities of circulation to validate the status of male subjects. The findings indicate that the Betrayal in Betrayal is not an isolated romantic act but a logical consequence of mimetic competition in which Jerry and Robert mimic one another to seize dominance. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how Emma’s transformation from a passive object into an active agent who reveals the truth (truth-telling) functions as a catalyst that exposes the falsity of this homosocial system. By debunking the myth of exclusive male friendship, this study concludes that masculinity in Pinter’s plays is a fragile structure, where male-to-male loyalty is a mask for mutually destructive competitive ambitions.
