Abstract

This study delves into the development of a fresh cultural identity experienced by Julian, a mixed-blood descendant, using the processes of hybridity, mimicry, and ambivalence as outlined in Meredith Duran's novel, The Duke of Shadows. The research applies the theoretical framework of Homi K. Bhabha, specifically focusing on his concepts of Hybridity, Mimicry, and Ambivalence. Its primary objective is to discern how Julian's postcolonial identities evolve based on Homi K. Bhabha's theories and to elucidate how Julian sustains his cultural identity as the narrative unfolds. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this research primarily sources its data from The Duke of Shadows, a 2008 novel comprising 314 pages and 21 chapters. The data collection method is centered around note-taking, and data analysis follows the methodology established by Miles and Huberman, encompassing data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and subsequent verification. The study's findings underscore that Julian's emerging mixed-blood cultural identity manifests through hybridity, mimicry, and ambivalence, reflecting the inherent ambiguity in his status as a mixed-blood individual. By the story's conclusion, Julian is depicted as maintaining his cultural identity by continuing to blend elements of Indian and British cultures, even after attaining the title of The Duke of Auburn.

Abstract

The investigation of teachers' viewpoints on non-native English-speaking students is the main topic of this study. Nevertheless, there is still uncertainty regarding the efficacy of implementing first language instruction in English classrooms. The purpose of this study is to better understand the viewpoints of instructors on the usage of native tongues in English classrooms. The research methodology included qualitative data collection, with the objective of acquiring a broad spectrum of information. The English teachers at Santi Witya Serong School in South Thailand are the study's participants. The findings shows that teacher was sometimes using Thai language as an instruction in English classroom but most of the instruction is on English as their targeted language. The results demonstrate that teachers noted that first language implementation increased students' desire to learn English, gave them a chance to better understand challenging concepts in the language, and inspired them to ask bold questions that clarify linguistic elements. In an English-speaking classroom, student interaction and communication can become quite difficult, particularly when there is a tendency for the students to have poor English language skills. Using the first language in the target language classroom can increase students' enthusiasm and eagerness to study regardless of their background level and can be seen as a sign of respect for those who still require help learning English. It is noteworthy that although having a classroom where all of the language used is English is good for the students, it is also vital to pay attention to the state of the students.

Abstract

This research is qualitative, especially content analysis. The data collection technique used in this research is document analysis. The document used in this study is an English textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK” for Class XII, published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture 2018. This research aimed to get empirical evidence of the distribution of higher-order thinking skills based on the revised edition of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The data analysis technique proposed by Miles and Huberman involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results show that the higher-order thinking skills in writing exercises in this textbook only obtained 9 out of 21 questions (42.8%), while the lower-order thinking skills obtained 12 out of 21 questions (57.1%). It can be concluded that the distribution of the higher-order thinking skill is lower than the lower-order thinking skill. The distribution of the higher-order thinking skill looks like this: the analyze skill (C4) obtains two questions (9.5%). The evaluate skill (C5) receives two questions (9.5%), and the Create skill (C6) gets the highest distribution by obtaining 5 out of 9 questions (23.8%). It shows that the distribution of the higher-order thinking skill of writing exercises in the English textbook “Bahasa Inggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK” is unequal. It does not show the higher-order thinking skills properly. Furthermore, this statement is supported by the unequal distribution of writing exercises in each textbook chapter.
