Abstract

This study aims to find out the types of figures of speech that reflect the life of black people and racial discrimination in three Audre Lorde's poems, entitled; Power, Coal, and The Black Unicorn. The theory used in this research is stylistics by Geoffrey Leech, which focuses on figurative language and also uses the theory of racial discrimination. This study uses a qualitative method and uses a content analysis approach because it uses poetry as data. The result shows from the 14 types of figurative languages, only 8 types were found in the poems; Allusion, Hyperbole, Parallelism, Irony, Personification, Simile, Symbolism, and Euphemism, with a total number of 17 data. Those data broadly have meanings related to the life struggles of back people. After that, the researcher found three kinds of racial discrimination in eight figurative languages namely; direct, indirect, and social life racial discrimination. From the three poems, it seems the poet uses figurative language in each of her poems to illustrate the rights and difficulties she faced and the poems are depictions of racial discrimination that causes struggles in the life of black people.

Abstract

Autonomous learning as a concept has been around since the early 1960s. Several studies have been carried out to establish its relevance, practicability, and efficacy in the EFL course. However, its use in circumstances other than those in which it first emerged has provoked passionate discussion. While some applied linguists say that learner autonomy is insufficient outside of its native environment as a culturally restricted feature, others feel it is a humanistic attribute that can be employed in any situation. Local instructors' perspectives are not an exception in the Moroccan EFL context. Some teachers feel that educating students to accept autonomy will have a positive impact. Others, on the other hand, dismiss its significance due to administrative constraints and cultural differences. The purpose of this study is to learn more about Moroccan TEFLRS’ thoughts on student autonomy and how it is used in the local classroom. The study also shows how students think about learner autonomy and provides some suggestions for practicing it in the classroom.

Abstract

The role of parents in determining the lives of their children has been depicted in many media including literary works. This article tries to show how this issue is presented in two novels. Scrutinized from Foucauldian's perspective focusing on power relations between parents and children, this article analyzes Desni Intan Suri's Aku Tidak Membeli Cintamu and Mohja Kafh's The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf. The results show that the parents impose their power in the form of domination. In addition, the authors portray the children's acceptance as well as resistance to domination. Acceptance indicates obedience. On the other hand, resistance is a way to exemplify that parents' dominations can be challenged as children's voices are also valuable.

Abstract

Jane Austen's novels and clever heroines and romantic interests have been adapted into movies and television shows for decades. This study explores a literary adaptation of Jane Austen's novel entitled Pride and Prejudice, published in1813. It was adapted to the screen by Joe Wright in 2005 and written by Deborah Moggach. We shall discuss how Joe Wright interpreted the setting and conflict. This research was conducted using the adaptation theory proposed by Linda Hutcheon. We argue that the movie interestingly altered the setting to show the characters' romantic scenes and the major characters' social economy level. The movie provides its audience transposition of major external and internal conflicts among the major characters. The movie has minimized the issues of social condition status and women's roles in the Victorian era. Moreover, the film focuses on finding true love, the power of love, and the romantic scene. Joe Wright realistically maintains the struggle of romantic relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth and the beautiful landscape setting makes the audience feel it.

Abstract

The fact that teaching English in Indonesia is still driven by textbooks makes not many students have the ability to communicate in English and even they often experience mispronunciation. This study was conducted to find out how to teach allomorphs as a provision to strengthen knowledge of English pronunciation. In addition, this study also seeks to reveal how the challenges faced by EFL teachers in the Allomorph learning process. There are 3 stages that the teacher can do to teach allomorphs through narrative texts; introduction to phonetic symbols, reading the text, and analyzing and practicing the types of allomorphs. From the use of the selected narrative text, it reveals 3 types of allomorphs from 4 types that have been introduced to students in the form of past tense, plural number, and regular possessive. Some of the challenges and problems faced by EFL teachers in teaching English pronunciation, especially allomorphs, is the lack of student motivation to learn. In addition, EFL teachers still hold on to the old philosophy about the lack of importance of learning pronunciation, making this teaching even more difficult. The lack of class hours and the large number of students in EFL classes are also challenges for teachers.

Abstract

This research discusses the role of symbols found in Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak. The writers apply New Criticism as the way to find the meaning from those symbols. The writers find three important symbols in the story, they are Melinda's tree painting, mirror, and Melinda's lips and mouth condition. Anderson puts those symbols in the story in order to strengthen the salvation from the isolation as the solid theme for Speak.

Abstract

This study discusses civil war and ideology conflict represented in Alex Irvine's Transformers: Exodus. It aims to analyze how the ideological conflict contributes to civil war in the novel and the moral messages that the readers can learn from the narrative. Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony and Terry Eagleton's theory of ideological features are used to examine ideology's role, and the moral-philosophical approach is used to analyze moral values. The findings suggest the existence of three ideologies: the Cybertronian traditions, the Autobots' ideology, and the Decepticons' ideology. In addition, this study finds that the novel contains moral values related to peace, toleration, and diplomacy.
