Abstract

This article aims to examine the exploitation of women in Kaine Agary’s novel Yellow-Yellow (2006). The novel has been analyzed from a postcolonial ecofeminist perspective. The postcolonial ecofeminist analysis of this novel reveals the exploitative type of relationship between women and extractivism, which can manifest the destruction of nature through the over-extraction of crude oil by transnational corporations. In this manner, Bibaebi, the major female character, is oppressed by the oil extraction process, dispossessed of her farmland, and faced with displacement and illicit migration. The study also reveals that though women are the brunt of persistent oppression, women’s interconnectedness to nature is a pathway to survival and resilience. Bibaebi and her daughter, Zilayefa, form a core of resistance against the petro-capitalist exploitation of nature. Ultimately, this study situates women within the broader discourse of neocolonial extractivism, underscoring the pressing need to reevaluate the intersection of women and nature in contemporary African literature.

Abstract

Research on collaborative learning in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly from the students’ perspectives, remains relatively limited due to prevailing focuses on teacher-centered approaches and individual assessment. The present study addresses the gap by exploring how collaborative learning impacts student engagement and outcomes in an English Medical Purposes (EMP) course. A total of 328 Medicine, Nursing, and Nutrition students completed a questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale to evaluate their perspectives on collaborative learning. Results show overall satisfaction, with mean ratings ranging from 4.00 to 4.25 across key aspects such as utility, alignment with expectations, enjoyment, practical application, sense of community, exchange of ideas, and skill development. These findings underscore the value of collaborative learning in fostering active participation and supportive learning environments. In addition, as the identification of potential weaknesses in current implementations of collaborative learning in EMP contexts was not explored, future research should investigate the challenges and develop targeted strategies to optimize collaborative learning experiences in EMP settings.

Abstract

Instead of predominantly functioning to protect women, many toxic marriages even legitimize and institutionalize patriarchal oppression. This has sparked feminist criticism, as in Katie Fforde's novel Going Dutch. Featuring a female character who rejects marriage and lives independently, this study aims to analyze two main aspects: (1) the representation of the rejection of marriage as a form of resistance to patriarchy in the novel and (2) the author's ideological position. Using a feminist approach with Stuart Hall's representation as its conceptual framework, the analysis reveals that the main character, Joana, refuses to remarry because of her traumatic experience in her previous marriage. Her husband forbids her from working or socializing outside the home. After her divorce, Joana chooses to live independently in the Netherlands, pursuing her career and hobbies while achieving economic independence and personal liberty. Through the character of Joana, Katie Fforde criticizes patriarchal norms still embedded in the institution of marriage. Going Dutch functions as a work of fiction that Ffordes advocates for women's empowerment and their right to live independently

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of portfolio in higher education, particularly in an English Language Education Department in Indonesia. Mixed method with concurrent combination was selected. Quantitative data were collected with a questionnaire (n = 74), while qualitative data were collected by three FGDs sessions (n= 21). The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data were analyzed thematically. These data were then interpreted simultaneously and four key themes were generated from the data: 1) Superficial understanding and skills in using portfolio, 2) Scarce and Partial Implementation of e-Portfolio, 3) Digital Technology as a Norm in Portfolio Implementation, and 4) Internalized Positive Views on Portfolio Implementation. These findings have shed light on the implementation of e-portfolio in this institution. Some recommendations were offered in order to improve its future implementation.

Abstract

This study of the literary work Merasa Pintar, Bodoh Saja Tak Punya by Rusdi Mathari employs Michel Foucault’s theory of madness to analyze narrative data and identify the concept of madness within the epistémè of the village community where the main character, Cak Dlahom, resides. The main character gets different treatment from two groups of people he meets in his daily life. The first group is people who always need confirmation from Cak Dlahom. The second group consists of people who make a priori judgments, attribute the concept of madness to Cak Dlahom, treat him as a different person, and then laugh at and ignore him. However, Cak Dlahom managed to fight the social epistémè by creating a narrative that broke the stigma. This research successfully identifies the patterns and impacts of societal judgment on individuals who are perceived as different. Additionally, there is an image of an individual’s ability to resist the dominant view and shape their own narrative in society.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning and imagery of Pay Jarot Sujarwo’s poem entitled “Kekasih, Kemarau Kali Ini Tidak Ada Jingga, Tidak Ada Jingga” and to describe its relevance as a teaching material for literature courses. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a structural analysis of the poem’s content. The theoretical framework of this study draws on the structural theory of semiotics to examine the connotative meaning of the imagery and diction and to identify signs pointing to meanings beyond the diction. The results of the study show a diversity of imagery found, including visual, auditory, motion, tactile, and atmospheric imagery. The use of imagery clearly conveys the inner atmosphere of longing and despair. This poem is also relevant to literary learning because it uses diction that trains students to understand implied meanings, imagery that supports the aesthetic analysis of language, and a theme that effectively develops students’ critical thinking skills. This poem can be a model text to improve students’ literary competence.
