Woolf's Mrs Dalloway portrays the experience of a 19th century woman in dealing with homosexuality. The incapability to show affection to the same sex, the denial of the feeling and the strunggle to keep the love leads the woman to an emotional suicide. The woman's choice to marry a man, have a child, and play her role as a sophisticated housewife are the ways to compromise with the norms and conventions if that age where home was the centre of woman's life

This paper intends to share the making of the students’ competence and literacy awareness in the teaching of essay writing using jeremiad approach, which is so-called T-Ex, approach in EFL class. The approach suggests three aspects namely text explanation which prescribes the identification and presentation of a certain challenging issue. It is followed by the step of text examination that underlines the presence of possible solution toward the issue by referring to related knowledge and technology, socio-cultural values, and outstanding figures. It is concluded by the text expectation that proposes the hope of recalling the acquired knowledge and sharing it for future anticipation. All of the steps rely upon the language competence since they use language as a media of constructing and recognizing as well as negotiating the message(s). As a qualitative research, this study involves students as the respondents to be interviewed. Students’ Intellectual diaries and essay drafts were also regarded as data. The students were assigned to write an essay on the topic of corruption. The data are interpreted in the way of the grounded theory. The results imply that the students are encouraged and driven to search for relevant knowledge, to recall related values and figures, and to construct the future awareness. These aspects summarize the potential of combining the language competence and literacy in the classroom activities.

Behaviour is one thing that is really important in one's life achievement. Behaviours will develop into character that defines one's future. Further, a research of Swick shows that a student's behaviour in the classroom significantly affects his/her behaviour outside the classroom, as in the real world. This article is focusing on a way to improve the students' behaviour in the classroom. Teachers, as students' motivator and role model, can encourage them to improve their behaviour through the limited learningprocess at school. It not through the presented material, yet it is through the way the material is presented in the class, the interaction led by the teacher. This article is trying to apply the communication science into classical teaching-learning process related to Skinner behaviourism theory. The better the stimulus, the better the response will be. Interaction is. seen as the stimulus and the students' behaviour is seen as the response to it. The better the interaction, the better the behaviour will be.

This article concerns with a stylistic analysis on a poem in terms of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Verbal Art Semiotics. The writing uses library research, qualitative data, documentary study, descriptive method, and intrinsic objective approach. The semantic analysis results in both automatized and foregrounded meanings. Then the automatized meaning produces lexical cohesion and in turn, it produces subject matter. Meanwhile, the foregrounded meaning produces the literary meaning and in turn, it creates theme. Finally, the analysis indicates that the subject matter is about the human characteristics, the literary meaning is about parental sadness and happiness, and the theme is about hereditary experience.

Iris Murdoch ~ The Sea, The Sea is a novel which uses nature as its background or setting. This article particularly intends to give its attention to the aspects of nature delineated in the novel. In other words, this study is aimed at identifying, classifying, and describing aspects or elements of nature in it. It is also important to describe the relationship between these aspects and the story, as well as the characters. In addition, the tenets of "ecocriticism'' are used as the parameter toprove that the novel is still "anthropocentric", or a human-centred work of art. The reason why such a method is used is simply because it is concerned with nature. Nevertheless, the study in this case can not be seen as a "pure" ecological reading because it merely uses ecological boundaries to prove the anthropocentricity of the novel. However, since some principles in the ecocriticism are used, it is inevitable not to mention or explain what this ecocriticism deals with.
