This research aims to determine the representation of gender inequality in Mulan (2020) movie which uses descriptive qualitative research method and feminism approach. Gender inequality is shown through 4 indicators, limited opportunities in utilizing resources, limited opportunities to participate in an activity, limited authority in making decisions, and limited recognition in decision making. The representation of gender inequality can be seen through the characters, setting, events, and style. The reason of Niki Caro addressing gender inequality in the Mulan (2020) movie is found in the personal life of the director where the director is an activist for women’s rights.

Abstract

This article examines Joy Harjo’ journey, the renowned poet and musician, has navigated a tumultuous life filled with pain and adversity. The pain pleasure principle is a fundamental aspect of human decision-making. Beliefs, values, actions, and decisions are all shaped by this principle, but it is crucial to examine them critically through a postcolonial lens to better understand the power dynamics and social structures that influence our interpretation of pain and pleasure. A lot of studies have been conducted on Indigenous literature, but very little has delved into the exploration of pain and pleasure, specifically in the works of Joy Harjo. However, the current study argues that when examining Indigenous literature, it is essential to approach it through the lens of post-colonial theory and consider concepts such as identity, hegemony, and hybridity in order to fully understand the hidden motives behind these literary works. In her literature, Harjo's poetry serves as a testament to the transformative nature of language and its ability to heal. Harjo's work, particularly her book "Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings," emphasizes the importance of language in bridging cultural and linguistic gaps. Joy Harjo ‘literature reflects the pleasure serves as a driving force in our lives, motivating us to make certain choices and take specific actions. These choices and actions, in turn, shape our individuality and help us develop a unique identity. The study stresses on Pain pleasure principle that plays a crucial role in Indian American literature, particularly evident in the works of Joy Harjo

Abstract

Video assignments become an increasingly popular tool in education nowadays. It offers students a dynamic and engaging way to demonstrate their understanding and performance. This research focuses on the students' analysis of EFL students' video assignments. The aims of this research are to find out how much the students understand assignment and how well they manage the contents of their videos. Qualitative research and video analysis framework were used in this study to collect and analyse the data of the EFL students who study in their third year at the research site. The eight videos were adopted from the EFL students to analyse and collect the data. The study found three elements of videos structure such as introduction, body, and conclusion of the videos.  EFL students greeted audiences, introduced topic, structure, expectation and engaged interests in the introduction part of the video. During the videos, students mostly used body languages, facial expression, voice of tone, pronunciation and topic comprehension. However, students missed using some contents in the conclusion of the videos comprising quotation, recommendation, and asking for giving comments from audiences for the improvement of their videos. Additionally, this study may serve as a reference or motivation for further research in the same area. This research suggests future researchers to focus on vid1eo analysis in different context, participants, and analytical framework to minimize the research gaps. Classroom teachers should use these results to improve the quality of video assignments in their class.

Abstract

This study examines the characteristics of the major and minor characters in Ernest Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research delves into the portrayal of human traits through the novel's characters. The findings reveal that Hemingway skillfully encapsulates various human qualities and struggles in his characters. Santiago, the protagonist, embodies perseverance and resilience despite facing prolonged adversity going eighty-four days without catching a fish. His eventual capture of the Marlin, a massive eighteen-foot-long fish, represents not just a personal victory but also the relentless struggle against forces beyond his control, as he ultimately loses the Marlin. Manolin, a minor character, is depicted as a loyal and compassionate boy who supports and cares deeply for Santiago. Their bond is marked by mutual respect and a shared passion for baseball, highlighting themes of mentorship, friendship, and intergenerational connection. Through these characters, Hemingway portrays the universal human experience of determination, loss, and the enduring strength of relationships.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the local dialect on students' speaking abilities, focusing specifically on the Makassar/Gowa dialect. It examines how the accent and features of the students' first language can affect their proficiency in speaking English, particularly in multicultural contexts. The research explores challenges arising from dialectal interference and factors related to the mother tongue that impact oral performance. Using a quantitative descriptive method, data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires. The findings reveal that the local dialect plays a multifaceted role in shaping students' speaking skills. While dialectal influence poses certain challenges, it also has positive implications. Students who embrace their local dialect tend to exhibit greater confidence and motivation in learning English. Moreover, leveraging the local dialect in teaching strategies encourages active learning and enhances oral communication. Teachers can utilize these insights to create a supportive learning environment, incorporating various media and facilities to improve students' speaking proficiency. This study highlights the importance of understanding linguistic diversity in educational settings and underscores the potential of dialect-sensitive approaches to foster better engagement and learning outcomes for English language learners

Abstract

This study employs a document study to investigate the tasks and TBLT framework used in Indonesian English classrooms. Through a rigorous examination of existing literature and empirical research, this study will elucidate how these practices contribute to the development of communicative competence, a core tenet of the Merdeka Curriculum. Several recent studies (past five years) on TBLT practices have been identified through a review of open-access journals. The findings reveal a prevalence of authentic tasks, consistent with expert recommendations, but with varying levels of authenticity. In addition, implementing TBLT generally aligns with established principles, particularly those proposed by Willis, but only a few adaptations are made to suit local teaching and learning goals. While these findings suggest a positive trend, further analysis is needed to identify potential areas for improvement and inform future TBLT practices in Indonesian classrooms.
