Abstract

Novel as a work of fiction offers an imaginative world, which is built through various intrinsic and extrinsic elements. This critical discourse analysis of the Drupadi novel by Seno Gumira Ajidarma aims to determine the feudalism discourse the writer adopts through his novel and to determine the author's construction in a developing social context. This research uses critical study as an effort to find; (1) The text structure of Seno Gumira Ajidarma's Drupadi novel, (2) The practice of discourse in Seno Gumira Ajidarma's Drupadi novel, and (3) The form of feudalism in the Drupadi novel by Seno Gumira Ajidarma. The research method used is descriptive narrative with the analysis model of Sara Mills's theory, which focuses on feminists consisting of the subject-object level and the writer-reader level. This research concludes that the structure of the Drupadi novel has a pattern of using a forward plot, namely character recognition, conflict, climax, anticlimax, and ending. This plot is often used in other narrative texts, so, it can be concluded that the structure of the text in the Drupadi novel by Seno Gumira Ajidarma includes; character introduction, conflict, climax, anticlimax, end / koda. In addition, Drupadi's novel shows the discourse of feudalism through the subject-object level and the writer-reader level. These results were obtained from the analysis of feudalism practices found in the novel Drupadi. These are the beliefs, beliefs, views, and ultimately the ideological vision that is represented by Seno Gumira Ajidarma's Drupadi novel in his discourse. Like postmodernist thoughts, the ideology that is represented must fight, challenge, and criticize the ideology that is currently in power to become a dominant discourse. Seno Gumira Ajidarma's ideology combines with the ideology of the spirit of the postmodern era.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to explore and describe the assessment methods used to evaluate the reading and writing abilities of first-grade elementary school students in English. The research design adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to gather in-depth, non-numerical data that can provide rich insights into the assessment process. The sample consists of first-grade elementary school students who are learning English, with careful consideration given to selecting a diverse sample representing various socioeconomic backgrounds and language proficiency levels. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the assessment methods and their applicability across different student populations. Data collection involves developing assessment instruments that align with grade 1 English learning objectives, focusing specifically on reading and writing components. These instruments are designed to be suitable for the students' developmental level, taking into account their limited vocabulary and literacy skills. Examples of assessment instruments used include open-ended reading comprehension tasks, picture-based writing prompts, and observation of students' writing behaviors. Through this study, valuable insights into the effective assessment methods for evaluating the reading and writing abilities of first-grade elementary school students in English learning are expected to be gained. The findings of this research can inform instructional practices, curriculum development, and assessment strategies to support students' language acquisition and proficiency at this critical stage of their education. The descriptive qualitative method allows for a detailed exploration and description of the assessment methods employed, providing a deeper understanding of their effectiveness and potential areas for improvement.

Abstract

This study focuses on the analysis of multiple choice test questions that measure critical thinking and tests of procedural knowledge of grammar material for introductory (beginner) English courses. Sample analysis includes:(1) item difficulty, (2) item differentiation, (3) item validity, and (4) item reliability. To measure the difficulty, a comparison formula is used for the number of respondents who answered correctly versus the number of respondents who answered incorrectly. The Pearson product-moment test is used to measure the validity and uniqueness of the item. The Cronbach alpha test is then used to determine the reliability of the test. The results of the difficulty test classify the test items into "easy", "moderate", and "difficult" categories. The results of the differential performance test classify the candidates into the "good" and "excellent" categories. The validity test proves that all test items are valid. The reliability test shows that the planned test is reliable. Therefore, the designed test items do not need to be fixed and can be used to measure critical thinking skills and procedural grammar.
