Abstract

Voice of identity can be found in an expressive writing such as poetry writing. In l2 learning context, poetry is a medium to learn a new language in a creative way. Language is developed through mindfulness and creativity. As language develops, l2 learners make use of their sensitivity to language and create or produce the language that represents the voice of identity themselves. This article focuses on how l2 poetry writing can invent voice of identity in the l2 learners by using the construct of mindfulness-based strategy. In the pandemic context where offline education is not possible, mindfulness-based strategy is best implemented in l2 remote learning since it has four main principles in language learning such as finding novelty in learning, being sensitive to context, actively engaged in the present moment, and stimulate opennes and multiperspectives. By online learning, poetry is taught with mindfulness concepts and they are guided mindfully on how they become language learners creatively and effectively by writing their poetry about their life during the pandemic. The data collected are poetry and reflection diary and analyzed through the construct of poetry in mindfulness framework. The results indicated that poetry writing can represent voice of l2 learner’s identity; their new perspectives of the world, reflection and sensitivity to context, choices of life, present moment engagement, opennes and multiperspectives

The main objective of this study is to investigate the rendering ideology in Brontё‘s Jane Eyre from English into Indonesian which is realized in the vocabulary and grammar choices used by the translator in translating ideology in Jane Eyre from English into Indonesian. It used descriptive qualitative approach. Moreover, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) proposed by Fairclough (1989) is used as the framework of the study. The data obtained were taken from ‗Jane Eyre‘ by Charlotte Brontё and it is translated by Lulu Wijaya entitled Jane Eyre. The unit of analysis of the study was ideological content including word, phrase, clause, sentence, and paragraph contained in Jane Eyre and its translation.The results showed that there are 120 ideologically loaded-data which is categorized into Ideology. They are ideology as tacit assumptions, beliefs and value systems. Meanwhile, there are 32 (27%) data which are not lexically equivalent in the Indonesian translation. Thus, the remaining data represent the ideology of the source text in the same way. Based on those findings, the writers concluded that most of the ideologically-contested words, nominalizations, and voices are rendered into Indonesian. There are no ideological differences between the source text and its translation. Furthermore, the translators mostly expressed ideology of the source similarly by means of selecting similar lexical choices. It means that translator‘s ideology in the source text and their translation in the target text reach ideological equivalent.
