Abstract

This study aims to analyse how Palestinian-Israeli conflicts are reported by two different news media, in this case Fox News (American) and Detik.Com (Indonesian). The data in this study were words and sentences which represent how Palestinian-Israeli conflict is reported by the two media. The data were taken from 4 news articles of Fox News and Detik.com which were reported from May 15 to May 31, 2021. The data were collected by using participant non-observation method with note-taking techniques. Then, the data were analyzed based on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) theory proposed by Fairclough (1995). The results of the research indicate that there are differences in the representation of Palestinian and Israeli conflicts in the two media. In Fox News articles, Palestine, especially Hamas, is represented as a terrorist and there is an element of the American government's alignment with Israel. Meanwhile, in Detik.com articles, Israel is represented as the perpetrator of the attack while Palestine is represented as the victim.

Abstract

Identity is also at the core of the translation project. Thus, the translator's role as a mediator between different languages and cultures cannot be isolated from efforts to harmonize the building of identity and cultural knowledge. This study investigates how the translator preserves the source text's cultural identity in the target text, based on evidence that the translation process is likewise a cultural transfer. The frameworks for this study were Venuti's idea of "resistancy", Newmark's cultural terms categorizations, Baker's techniques for specific-culture items, and Newmark's transposition procedure. The material objects of this research were the Indonesian magical-realism novel 'Cantik Itu Luka' and its English translation ‘Beauty is A Wound’. By employing descriptive-qualitative approach, a thorough investigation of this study revealed that the translator tends to challenge the target readers’ knowledge by preserving the source text's identity in the target text. To do so, the translator frequently uses loan words and the application of blended strategies, such as loan words with superordinate (a more general word), loan words with explanation (couplets), and loan words with transposition and explanation strategies (triplets).

Abstract

Due to the scarcity of studies on online EFL classroom management in the Indonesian context, this study attempts to explore online EFL classroom management from the viewpoints of Indonesian EFL teachers in terms of its processes, strategies, and challenges. This study employed a qualitative case study approach involving 6 EFL teachers. Within three months, data were gathered through interviews with EFL teachers, which were then evaluated in a narrative way. The findings reveal that (1) in management process, teachers must make an appointment with students, prepare the content and task for online learning, deliver materials and tasks through online media, and give feedback to students’ works directly or indirectly for their evaluation or assessment; It takes a lot of processes to complete online learning management from the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages; (2) teachers may use different strategies in managing online EFL classrooms; however, the most important points are using clear instructions in organizing the students (e.g., in doing tasks) to minimize students’ confusion, using a balance portion in using a variety of assignment methods (individual, pair, and group), and choosing interesting learning activities to engage students; and (3) the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL teachers are, among others, developing online learning materials and tasks, building a strong online learning community, and integrating teacher-student-parent relationships in online learning. This study may have implications to several parties, such as EFL teachers, students, and parents.

Abstract

Analysing gender issues in the teaching materials in the textbook is crucial as students' way of perceiving gender in their daily lives might be shaped by what they have learned at school. This research concerns analysing how gender representation in two EFL textbooks utilized in Indonesian secondary schools, Pathway to English for SMA/MA grade, later called textbook 1 in this study and Forward an English Course for Vocational School Students Grade VII, which was later called textbook 2. Both were published by Erlangga. The theory of personal characters proposed by (Brugeilles and Sylvie, 2009) was used as the basis theory in this study. Employing mixed-method research approaches, the researchers analysed how visuals in both textbooks portrayed gender representation by focusing on the frequency of pictures of male and female characters, occupations and activities. The study reveals that the two books show an imbalance of gender representation in all three aspects. Gender bias, especially for female occupations and activities, is apparent in the two textbooks. This study suggests that EFL teachers evaluate their textbooks to advocate for gender equality in the classroom.

Abstract

This article is a study of the thoughts of Indonesian female writers towards Acehnese women as reflected in the literary works they produce. The objects used are the novel Perempuan Keumala by Endang Moerdopo (2008) and the novel Seulusoh by D. Kemalawati (2006). These two manuscripts were chosen because the background story used is about Aceh, the characters in the novel are Acehnese women. So far, it is difficult to find female Indonesian writers who highlight the social life of the female Acehnese in their stories. Thus, this study can be used as the basis for literary criticism in the field of Acehnese gynocritic feminism. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive text analysis. The theory that is used as the rationale for this study is Showalter's gynocritic literary criticism (1981 and 2000), which is now as a theory of contemporary literary criticism. The results of the analysis reflect the thoughts of Acehnese women writers on the figures of Acehnese women and Acehnese women in the view of women authors outside Aceh. The focus of the analysis includes (1) female biological elements; (2) female psychological elements; (3) female language; and (4) female culture. The results of the study show that Acehnese women in Acehnese women's literary works tend to appear as feminine figures, but are also brave, responsible, and have high social sensitivity. As for Acehnese women, in the eyes of women outside Aceh, they are described as brave, hard, responsible, and have a heroic spirit.

Abstract

The major purpose of this research was to obtain the voices of EFL senior teachers regarding the use of the WhatsApp- group tool. The researchers applied a qualitative method design by practicing two instruments: semi-structured interview and indirect observation. The case study design was undertaken by engaging two EFL senior teachers who actively implemented the WhatsApp group tool in the learning process in the midst of the outbreak of COVID-19. Four designs of qualitative frameworks were convenience aspect (ease of use) and usefulness aspect (Interaction and motivation), educational aspect, and technical aspect was simultaneously utilized to draw their experience in teaching English skills and content courses. The result of research discussions declared that the EFL teachers claimed the different voices toward the utilizing WhatsApp-group tool. Grammar lecturers claimed that this digital tool is a learning management system, integrating the tools for educational aims, and perceiving advantages in boosting the effectiveness and efficiency of the teaching and learning process. In addition, Grammar lecturers as educators emphasized to their learners that the young generation does not only learn the academic aspects but also build a good attitude, critically-thinking, social caring, and high tolerance the society. The learning strategy is well-known as the maternity reflective method. In contrast, the Prose lecturer claimed several obstacles; junk notifications, flooding irrelevant chats in the WhatsApp forum, poor signal, and consuming extra time. Furthermore, he added that interactions in the WhatsApp-group tool as supportive learning cannot boost learners to be active due to some factors. This evidence became a significant challenge in applying WhatsApp as a management teaching media. Thus, the pedagogical implication of utilizing WhatsApp- group L tool in EFL classroom should be carefully tackled to minimize the overuse of this mobile application

Abstract

Oral tradition is considered as one of some enriched Indonesian cultures that have been preserved from former generation to the following ones. It also provides a great deal of opportunity to be studied in the scope of literary studies with various approaches. One oral tradition that owns these characteristics is the Batanghari Sembilan art songs that originated from the South Sumatra region. This study aims to find out the similarities and differences between two Batanghari Sembilan art songs entitled Iluk Pule and Umak di Doson, Bapak Jao, which can be seen from the formula and formulaic structures as well as the indications of desire found in the composition of the text through Lacan's psychoanalytic perspective. Qualitative research methods and content analysis were carried out to analyze the data in the form of the structure of the formula and the concept of desire found in the sentences of the Batanghari Sembilan oral text. The results of the study highlight the similarities of the types of formulas found in the two songs, namely the presence of morphological formulas, alliterations, tautotes and phonemic formulas, and the absence of anaphora and anadiplosis formulas in Umak in Doson, Bapak Jao. Some repetitive words are acknowledged as an attempt to emphasize the meaning and promote the songs’ originality. In addition, the two songs have different desires, namely the desire to have a lover and the desire to live together with parents. The similarity found in the two songs is the positioning of the mother's wishes as a substitute for one's own desires which are conveyed by the individual metonymically.
