Abstract

An abundance of research and scholarship highlighting why and how literature (i.e., novels, plays, poetry, short stories) can be used effectively in foreign language learning contexts exists. However, these publications tend to prioritize “literary” learning objectives over “language” learning objectives. We aim to support the effective teaching of literature in foreign language learning classrooms by providing a structured and principled approach to developing an integrated literature in language learning course or module that equally prioritizes “content” and “language” learning objectives. By adopting the 4C (Content, Cognition, Culture, and Communication) framework from CLIL, and by adapting CEFR principles, benchmarks, and Can-do statements, we propose a method and framework for developing the beginning-to-end stages in a balanced literature in language learning course design. We outline pedagogically sound steps for creating global learning objectives and activities that engage students of varying motivations and language proficiency levels. The organization of CEFR Can-do statements into the 4C framework is presented. In addition, activities for use in a literature classroom are described, including explanations of the underlying Can-do statements and aspects of the 4C framework they support. The proposed method and framework will aid instructors seeking to utilize literary texts in foreign language learning contexts.

Abstract

Authors frequently highlight solidarity in literary works, particularly in short stories, to increase the readers’ understanding of the unbalanced economic progress experienced by a certain social class. This attempt happens because they try to create an idealistic society for the working class. From this premise, solidarity was born due to the inability of capitalism to undo the oppression of the working class throughout the decades. Adjusting to capitalist society, the working class is often unconsciously or consciously mistreated to be seen as equal to the upper class. Since socialism is perfectly captured in Bessie Head’s “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses,” this research aims to analyze the solidarity of the Span One group portrayed in the short story by using Mason’s solidarity, Roskin’s social democracy theories, and Uwe’s qualitative descriptive method. The researcher confirms that the Span One group is portrayed as socialists through their solidarity and social democracy in “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses” short story. These ideas can be seen through Brille and Span One group’s actions and dialogs.

Abstract

The development of English in Indonesia has increased rapidly. Many people learn English both through formal and non-formal education. However, this widespread exposure has also resulted in language interference, particularly when engaging on social media. This interference poses a potential shift in the features of Bahasa Indonesia as the national language. To investigate this issue, this study is designed to explore linguistic features affected by language interference and factors contributing to such language interference on TikTok, specifically among Indonesian TikTok users. To employ a qualitative research approach, data were obtained from post and comment sections of Indonesian TikTok users. The data were analyzed using Chaer and Agustina’s (2004) theory, which divided language interference into four types: lexical, syntactical, morphological, and phonological. Based on that theory, this study reveals that four linguistic features experienced language interference on TikTok: lexical (63%), syntactical (10%), morphological (22%), and phonological (5%). This study indicates three factors causing language interference in Indonesian TikTok users: language similarity, language contact, and terms of technological development. This research highlights the linguistic phenomenon of social media discourse in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the representation of the female protagonist’s subjectivity and sexuality in Dinaw Mengestu’s novel The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears (2007). This novel has been analyzed from other critical perspectives. However, a post-structural feminist analysis of this novel can shed light on the female character’s subjectivity and sexuality, as well as our understanding of womanhood in general. The researchers discovered that the female character in the selected novel is modeled as a person who resists the exclusion of women from knowledge and power in a patriarchal society. She represents a new generation of women who struggle against the subjugation of women. Besides, she resists submissiveness to negative experiences in sexuality. In a nutshell, she is made visible through resilience.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the politeness strategies used by the participants for stating the disagreement and to disclose the stereotypes about women being more polite than men or not. The data source for this research was obtained from the disagreement statements performed by female and male participants in one of the Vice Debates’ episodes entitled Parents, Teachers & Students Debate the US Education System. The qualitative method was used to describe the differences in politeness strategies performed by women and men participants. This research found 37 politeness strategies used by all participants. Men participants produced 24 disagreement statements which contained 3 types of politeness strategies, which are bald-on record, positive politeness, and negative politeness. Positive politeness became the highest strategy used by men participants, it convinced the stereotype that men do not use an emotional approach when responding to the interlocutor is not necessarily true. On the contrary, female participants only delivered 13 disagreement statements but used all of the politeness strategies, which are bald-on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record. Negative politeness became the highest type and it reassures women do not always use long-winded talk when stating the disagreement.

Abstract

This critical discourse study examines how language is used to marginalize certain groups in news titles published on social media. It focuses on linguistic elements, including words or terms, phrases, and sentences. As qualitative research employing discourse analysis methods, this study analyzes data from news headlines on social media or online media. Social media was chosen due to its widespread popularity as a source of information. Data analysis follows Fairclough’s theory, which includes text description, interpretation, and explanation. The findings reveal that news headlines often use words, phrases, and sentences to marginalize specific societal groups. Marginalized groups include powerful entities such as government officials accused of legal violations and marginalized individuals such as women. The language used in these headlines frequently involves negative connotations or dysphemisms, which emphasize undesirable traits or behaviors. Additionally, question sentences are employed in headlines to further marginalize these groups. This analysis highlights how linguistic choices in news titles reinforce societal biases and marginalize both dominant and disadvantaged groups.
Muslimah Creativity, Piety, and Solidarity in Mohja Kahf’s Hagar Poems Djohar, Hasnul Insani; Oktaviano, Willy; Utami, Mira

Abstract

This paper investigates how Kahf’s poetry collection, Hagar Poems (2016), discovers Muslim women or Muslimah leadership by exploring Muslimah leaders, such as Hagar (Hajar), Khadija, and Aisha to undermine reductionist views of Muslim women both in Orientalism and Anglo-American feminism. In doing so, Kahf uses the strategies of juxtaposition, humor, and irreverence by connecting Muslimah ancient leaders to her contemporary speakers who are crisscrossing Islamic traditions and American popular culture. By engaging with postcolonial and gender studies with the frameworks of leadership and Islamic studies, this paper investigates how Kahf’s women juxtapose ancient folkloric tales and American popular cultures, both to establish their multiple identities and leadership and to illuminate contemporary resonances of ancient Muslimah leaders in the eyes of subsequent generations. Indeed, the patterns of Muslimah leadership in Kahf’s poems are represented as engaging with the ideas of creativity, piety, and solidarity; and these patterns work to question the exclusion of Muslimah leadership in both gender and orientalist debates. Thus, Kahf’s Hagar Poems explores the representation of Muslim women from Islamic history who serve as role models, having displayed heroic characteristics through their leadership.
