Suci Nur Rahmadini, Aditya Ansor Alsunah, Lina Siti Nurwahidah — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of the research is to analyze the forms of gender injustice experienced by the female character Laura in the film Laura through the lens of feminist studies. This study is grounded in the understanding that films often reflect and reinforce gendered power relations, making them important cultural texts for examining women’s experiences of oppression. Feminist theory provides the conceptual basis for identifying how patriarchal structures are represented and how they shape the narrative surrounding female characters. This research uses a qualitative descriptive-analytical method to explore scenes, dialogues, and narrative elements that construct Laura’s experiences. Data were collected using documentation techniques by identifying and recording film segments that indicate gender injustice. The analysis focuses on key feminist concepts such as marginalization, violence, subordination, and the reduction of female agency. Through this framework, the study interprets not only the visible acts of injustice but also the symbolic meanings embedded in the film’s portrayal of Laura. The findings indicate that Laura encounters various forms of gender injustice, including five instances of marginalization and four instances of violence. These portrayals reveal how the film reproduces patriarchal patterns that position women as vulnerable and socially limited. Cinematic elements—such as framing, narrative emphasis, and emotional depiction—further reinforce Laura’s disadvantaged position within the storyline. Overall, this study contributes to feminist film analysis by showing how Laura perpetuates gender-biased representations that restrict female autonomy. The research underscores the importance of feminist perspectives in uncovering power imbalances and promoting more equitable portrayals of women in contemporary media.

Yunisa Oktavia, Alpino Susanto, Mhd Johan, Siti Marpuah — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 4 Batam. This research is based on the students' writing skills that have not been fully trained in writing activities. Even students have limitations in using the right diction. This is because students have less interest in reading so that their absorption in using diction does not support writing activities. Students in doing assignments or exercises to hone their abilities only rely on student worksheets known as LKS. Writing scientific papers that require seriousness and brilliant ideas can apply the cooperative learning model Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC). CIRC is right for improving students' skills in solving problem-solving questions. In the application of CIRC, teacher dominance in learning is reduced. Students are motivated to produce results carefully because they work in groups. Furthermore, students can understand and check each other's work and help weak students. As a result, the CIRC model enhances learning outcomes, particularly in addressing problem-solving tasks. This research employs a qualitative approach through classroom action research. The objective is to enhance the learning process and boost students’ performance in writing scientific papers by utilizing the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) strategy. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows: First, the improvement in diction usage when writing scientific papers by students of class XI-IS1 at SMA Negeri 4 Batam was effectively implemented in both Cycle I and Cycle II. Second, the integration of the CIRC model in teaching scientific writing significantly enhanced students’ writing abilities. This progress is reflected in the average scores across the cycles: 58.92 in the pre-cycle, 74.07 in Cycle I, and 83.28 in Cycle II.

Siti Nurhasanah, Iin Indriyani, Ardi Mulyana Haryadi, Aditya Ansor Alsunah — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Literary works function not only as aesthetic expressions but also as reflections of social realities, including issues of gender inequality. This study examines gender injustice and women’s survival strategies in Cantik Itu Luka by Eka Kurniawan, with a particular focus on the character of Dewi Ayu as the central figure. The research aims to identify the forms of gender-based injustice experienced by the female protagonist and to analyze her strategies for survival within the context of colonial patriarchy. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this study applies feminist criticism and a sociological literary approach. Data were collected through library research and close textual analysis of relevant narrative excerpts, which were then interpreted critically. The findings reveal that Dewi Ayu experiences multiple forms of gender injustice, including negative stereotyping, sexual violence, physical and emotional abuse, and the objectification of the female body within a patriarchal colonial system. Rather than portraying resistance through overt physical rebellion, the novel represents the protagonist’s struggle through survival strategies such as bodily negotiation and endurance in oppressive circumstances. This study concludes that Cantik Itu Luka portrays women as subjects who endure layered oppression while simultaneously articulating a strong social critique of patriarchal domination.

Struktur Sintaksis dan Distribusi Jenis Klausa pada Lirik Lagu Album Rahasia Pertama Karya Rony Parulian

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Song lyrics constitute a distinctive form of literary expression in which linguistic structure plays a crucial role in shaping meaning and emotional resonance. This study examines the syntactic structure and distribution of clause types in the song lyrics of Rahasia Pertama, the debut album by Rony Parulian. The research focuses on identifying and classifying clause types that appear in the lyrics, namely verbal clauses, nominal clauses, adjectival clauses, prepositional clauses, and numeral clauses, based on their formal characteristics and syntactic functions. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the data were obtained through careful reading and systematic note-taking of the lyrics from all eight songs in the album. The collected data were then categorized and interpreted according to established syntactic theories. The findings reveal a total of 213 clauses distributed across four clause types: verbal clauses, nominal clauses, adjectival clauses, and prepositional clauses. Verbal clauses are the most dominant, indicating that the lyrics predominantly emphasize actions, processes, and emotional dynamics experienced by the lyrical subject. Nominal and adjectival clauses function to express states, identities, and emotional qualities, while prepositional clauses contribute metaphorical spatial and emotional nuances. Notably, numeral clauses are entirely absent from the album, suggesting that numerical expressions are not central to the construction of meaning in these song lyrics. These results demonstrate that syntactic structure significantly contributes to the expressive and poetic power of song lyrics. Through varied clause constructions, the album conveys themes of love, longing, loss, and emotional endurance in a nuanced manner. This study highlights the importance of syntactic examination in understanding how popular song lyrics function as literary texts and affirms the relevance of linguistic analysis in contemporary literary and cultural studies.

Nafdi Irawan, Afriana Afriana — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study analyzes the representation of women in William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily through Simone de Beauvoir’s feminist theoretical framework. Employing Beauvoir’s concepts of the Other, myths of woman, and women’s categorization as prostitute, the research examines women's representation reflected in the narrative that frames the story of Faulkner's A Rose for Emily, and unveils the perspective of Faulkner as the male author on women as implied in the story. The data are collected through the primary source involved close reading of Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily". The analysis reveals that the protagonist (Emily) is positioned as the Other within a patriarchal social structure that deprives women's autonomy, confined within cultural myth of women reproduced to maintain male domination and reinforce women subordinate positions. Faulkner, as the male author, reflects his perspectives in between of perpetuation and resistance to the social construction of women. The analysis also uncovers Faulkner’s ambivalent perspective as the male author. In certain narrative elements, he seems to perpetuate patriarchal constructions, while in other aspects, he implicitly challenges these norms through the protagonist's (Emily) acts of resistance against social constraints. Overall, the result demonstrates that Faulkner’s narrative both reflects and critiques the power of gender and its relations within a socio-historical context.

English Inflectional Morpheme Accuracy in Indonesian EFL Students

Sipri Hanus Tewarat, Zia Hisni Mubarak, Afriana Afriana — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The study focused on how accurately fourth-semester English Literature students at Putera Batam University used eight types of English inflectional morphemes in their academic writing. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach complemented with simple statistical descriptions, the study reviewed students’ written assignments along with questionnaire data to determine their level of accuracy, the most frequent error patterns, and the factors contributing to incorrect forms. To assess accuracy, the researchers adopted Brown’s (1973) calculation and applied an 80% benchmark to classify whether a morpheme had been sufficiently acquired. The analysis revealed that only three morphemes—the present participle (-ing), the superlative (-est), and the simple past (-ed)—met or exceeded the expected mastery level. In contrast, several others, including the comparative (-er), the past participle (-ed/-en), the possessive (’s), and the third-person singular (-s), fell well below the threshold, suggesting that students had not yet mastered them. Further examination showed that omission was the error type that occurred most frequently, while misformation and addition followed as secondary patterns. The inaccuracies were largely attributed to the influence of Bahasa Indonesia as the learners’ first language and to internal developmental factors such as overgeneralization and partial understanding of grammatical rules. Overall, the findings point to persistent difficulties Indonesian EFL learners encounter when dealing with English inflectional morphology and emphasize the importance of more focused grammar instruction within academic writing courses
