Abstract

This study aims to interpret racial discrimination in Langston Hughes' poems i.e., I Too Sing America, Negro, and Let America Be America Again. Langston Hughes, as a writer, has faced direct discrimination from white people in his literary work. Many of Langston Hughes's works of poetry tell the story of African Americans who lived as black people and faced discrimination throughout history. Some of his poetry depicts the racial, cultural, and educational discrimination that black people face. The data taken from the poem comes from Langston Hughes' poems including I Too Sing America, Negro, and Let America Be America Again. This study applies the descriptive qualitative method as well as the extrinsic approach. Extrinsic approach, aligned with mimetic and pragmatic approaches. I Too Sing America depicts the oppression of black people through slavery, denial of rights, and inequality. Let America Be America Again depicts a focus on the idea of the American dream and how, for many people, achieving freedom, equality, and happiness, which the dream embodies, is nearly impossible. Negro depicts people of African American descent have the status of slaves. The conclusion is that the author accepts a great deal of discrimination as an African American and rejects differences in skin color status.

Abstract

This research focuses on finding out students' motivation in learning English using online platforms, what type of motivation they have, intrinsic or extrinsic motivation, and what kind of learning motivation they experience. There are 3 online platforms used in the English learning process, namely Kahoot, Quizizz, and Google Form in class VIII SMPIT Al-Fityah Pekanbaru. In this study, researchers used descriptive qualitative to investigate students' motivation in learning English using online platforms. The instruments used were observation and interviews. Observation data was collected from 2 classes with 25 people each. Observation results show that students have higher intrinsic motivation than extrinsic motivation. In other words, learning motivation that comes from within the student is higher than motivation that comes from outside the student. Besides that, the interview results show students' motivation in learning English using online platforms in every aspect of ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction).

Abstract

This comprehensive study investigates the crucial role of clauses in English sentence structure, primarily focusing on the distinction between independent clauses and dependent clauses. This research explores how these two types of clauses function as essential components in forming sentence structures, facilitating the expression of complex ideas and effective communication. The investigation reveals that independent clauses possess the ability to position alone as thorough sentences, while dependent clauses depend on independent clauses on the context and meaning. The study identifies various types of dependent clauses and examines how they contribute to more complex sentence structures. Furthermore, this research highlights the importance of subordinating conjunctions in introducing dependent clauses and establishing logical relationships within sentence structures. By elucidating the functions of independent and dependent clauses, this study provides valuable insights into the formation of effective sentence structures. The research demonstrates how the strategic use of independent and dependent clauses, along with the appropriate utilization of subordinating conjunctions, can enhance the quality and complexity of sentence structures. This analysis offers a deeper understanding of sentence structure mechanisms, contributing to broader linguistic theories and applications. The study emphasizes the critical role of clause analysis in developing strong writing skills and effective communication. The results indicate that a solid understanding of independent clauses, dependent clauses, and the use of subordinating conjunctions is crucial in creating varied and expressive sentence structures. This study contributes significantly to the considerate of sentence structures in English, underscoring the importance of independent clauses, dependent clauses, and subordinating conjunctions in language learning, teaching, and research. The study concludes that mastery of various clause types and the ability to combine them effectively are key to enhancing language proficiency and communication skills.
