Authors:Gemechu Bane, Tamene Kitila Pages: 1 - 14 Abstract: One of the most common issues that EFL teachers face in the classroom is the decision of whether or not to use L1 in the L2 classroom. The purpose of this study was to explore the cognitive and affective responses of L1 (Afan Oromo) use in primary school of EFL classrooms. The study employed a qualitative research method with a descriptive case study. Classroom observations and interviews were used to collect data. The Nvivo 12 computer program qualitative data analysis software was used to analyze the collected data. The finding indicated that the most prevalent cognitive reactions were comparing English and Afan Oromo grammatical rules, acquiring new vocabulary, and forming links between Afan Oromo and English. Teachers preferred Afan Oromo for teaching new vocabulary, grammatical lessons, and abstract concepts. Students preferred L1 use for better understanding, mastery of grammar and complicated issues, and a more natural way of expressing themselves because Afan Oromo enables them a more confident sense while expressing their views and keeping the affective filter low. Although using L1 contributes to a better understanding, unguided usage and unsystematized practice of L1 may impede the achievement of desired goals in English teaching and learning.

Authors:Jihad Jaafar Waham Pages: 15 - 22 Abstract: Loneliness and lack of communication are common themes in absurd drama. This paper explores the portrayal of loneliness and lack of communication in absurd drama through an analysis of selected works of Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, and Eugène Ionesco. The method employed in this research is a qualitative analysis of the texts, examining the characters, settings, and language used to convey the themes of loneliness and lack of communication. The findings reach that these themes are central to absurd drama, reflecting the existential condition of modernity. The conclusion proposes that the portrayal of loneliness and lack of communication in absurd drama is a critique of the modern world, highlighting the need for connection and communication in a fragmented and isolated society. Through a close examination of the characters and their interactions, the article argues that these plays offer a critique of modern society's tendency towards isolation and lack of meaningful communication. The article also explores how the techniques of absurdism, such as non-linear plot structures and exaggerated, nonsensical dialogue; this research can contribute to the portrayal of these themes in the selected works. Overall, the article demonstrates the enduring relevance of these plays in illuminating the human condition and the challenges of social interaction in a modern world.

Authors:Saz Hersh Mohammed, Zanyar Kareem Abdul Pages: 35 - 49 Abstract: Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) is a postcolonial story in which Antoinette, the Creole lady, is portrayed as the crazy woman in the attic. Thus, it is possible to see why Antoinette as a protagonist misses her identity and how madness works in a colonial and patriarchal culture by examining the connections between race and gender in Rhys' novel in light of Ania Loomba's ideas about colonialism and postcolonialism and linking it to psychoanalytic feminism with Julia Kristeva's notion of the abject. Race and gender are employed as metaphors for one another and to dehumanize the other among us, driving it insane. Postcolonial critics have debated Antoinette's otherness as a result of colonial rule; whereas, feminist theorists have frequently emphasized the patriarchal aspect of society and the connection between madness and the mother-daughter relationships of the novel. This study focuses on otherness and lunacy, which contains not only colonizer-colonized, male-female, and mother-daughter connections but also self-repression in a patriarchal and colonial culture, leading to Antoinette’s alienation and loss of identity. Overall, black women as being enslaved are picturized as ugly, something without an owner. PubDate: 2023-06-28 DOI: 10.30743/ll.v7i1.6947 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 1 (2023)
Authors:Seol Yoanna Park, Fabiola Kurnia, Ali Mustofa Pages: 50 - 60 Abstract: The research set out to shed light on balancing awareness, a key Taoist concept that forms the basis of American science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin's creative works. The balance in Le Guin's work represented the peaceful coexistence of conflicting forces. Le Guin applied Taoist ideas, such as the interdependence of two opposites and non-interference, to convey her concept of balance. The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, published in 1969, served as the primary text for this qualitative study. In The Left Hand of Darkness, the concept of balance was built on transcending the binary split and forging peaceful connections between I and the Other. To reflect her Taoist understanding of the relationship between I and the Other, Le Guin created an androgynous universe in The Left Hand of Darkness and employed the concept of a journey to the alien territory. The results demonstrated that in Le Guin's make-believe world, the protagonists from two different cultural backgrounds completed their trip by bridging the mental division and acquiring Taoist wisdom. The Yin-Yang emblem and the reading of the ancient poem served as metaphors for the peaceful coexistence of dualistic opposites. By transcending dualistic opposites and recognizing a connection between I and the other, Le Guin's worldview, which drew inspiration from Taoism, achieved holistic success.

Authors:Suhair Fuaad Hajo Pages: 61 - 71 Abstract: This paper attempts to define the grotesque and its primary literary features before examining the grotesque components in two Victorian authors' works with the goal of separating their approaches to the grotesque based on gender. The most well-known novelist of the Victorian era, Charles Dickens will be one of the authors covered in this paper through his story To be Taken with a Grain of Salt, and the other one is Mary Elizabeth Braddon’s story Eveline’s Visitant. Dickens and Braddon particularly make use of the grotesque elements to convey their ideas and ideals through satire, comedy, tragedy, suspense, and a sense of fear, gloom, and obscurity. The research results show that both tales can be regarded as significant Victorian grotesque literature since they share, in various ways, elements of the grotesque notion. The real meaning of the grotesque is only exposed by itself-contradictory nature with the opposite, which is in this sense the ideal. Both stories are based on the main contrast between the spiritual and material worlds. They attempt to persuade us that there is yet another mysterious force that, despite the efforts to conceal it in the physical world, it exposes human wrongdoing. Thus, abnormal human beings, ghostly figures, and terrifying events will be detected through which grotesque elements are found.

Authors:Rifqi Akbar, Nerry Agustin Pages: 72 - 85 Abstract: Colonialism is one of the events of colonization of Europeans or Western nations to a nation or continent with inferior value to its customs, intellectuality, and marginalization. It results in the distingency of social structures that experience racial inequality and discrimination, including black people. White supremacy perpetuates an ideology that can take away the human rights of blacks, especially the ideal identity of masculinity, the black men. Black men are represented as beasts, combat-ready pioneers, obedient slaves, and so on. This representation becomes a construction of an ideological discourse that marginalizes black people. This discourse affects psychological and social dualism and intersectionalism that rests on resistance to white supremacy. This study aims to reveal the discourse of the identity of idealistic masculinity in black men. The method used is descriptive-qualitative. This method is employed in relating the problems that occur to Alfa Ndiaye who experiences the traumatic experience of the death of his best friend in his life journey while tracing racial equality between the countries of Francophone, France-Africa (Senegal). This study uses intersectional, masculinity, and racial studies. The material object is the novel At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop. In contrast, the formal object is ideology's effect in identifying masculinity's attributes in black people, especially in the main character, Alfa Ndiaye. Thus, white hegemony always uses various ways to make the ‘wounded masculinity’ of Ndiaye feel pressured and it is considered that their savagery is beneficial for Captain Armand in raising French independence.

Authors:Dyah Raina Purwaningsih, Nadia Gitya Yulianita, Tri Wahyu Setiawan Prasetyoningsih Pages: 94 - 104 Abstract: The article discusses translation techniques applied in the translation of culture-specific concepts in the description text of Museum Wayang dan Artefak Purbalingga. Culture-specific concept is one of the common types of non-equivalence at word level resulted from the absence of cultural concepts in the target language. To cope with this problem, a translator is provided with translation techniques proposed by many translation scholars. This research applied the theory of translation techniques proposed by Molina and Albir. Based on the analysis, the most frequently-used technique is borrowing technique. The technique is relatively common to apply in translating culturally-bound terms that do not have one-to-one correspondence. The most common non-equivalence problem at word level to find is problem of culture-specific concepts. It is because the text describes the puppets displayed there, and to be more specific, puppets are parts of Indonesian culture, a precious cultural heritage. Therefore, many culturally-bound words or terms are kept original. PubDate: 2023-06-28 DOI: 10.30743/ll.v7i1.6247 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 1 (2023)
Authors:Wedhowerti Wedhowerti Pages: 105 - 114 Abstract: The study aims to analyze the epilogue of Lehane’s Mystic River. It employs syntactic approach, and it is qualitative in nature. Departing from the fact that novel is considered as a form of creative writing, syntax with its syntactic analysis then enables the researcher to go deeper into the epilogue of Lehane’s to understand its creative use of language. The five sentences in the epilogue are studied to find out how Lehane produces his clause types and thematic relations in his novel. The results yield the five sentences in the epilogue are all finite clauses for they have a finite verb in each. In terms of thematic relations, each verb in the five sentences of Lehane’s epilogue assigns different thematic roles. Each verb has different lexical representation. Verb come in Datum 1 assigns Agent and Source. Verb pull in Datum 2 assigns Agent and Theme. Verb look in Datum 3 assigns Agent and Location. Meanwhile Datum 4 has two thematic roles (Theme and Location). Datum 4 has no Agent in it. Verb block in Datum 5 assigns Agent, Theme, and Location. The four thematic roles have different state of percentage where Agent occupies the highest number of 36.36%. It is followed by both Theme and Location of 27.27% respectively. Source, in contrary, has the lowest number of 9.09%. PubDate: 2023-06-28 DOI: 10.30743/ll.v7i1.6378 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 1 (2023)
Authors:Nurasia Natsir, Nuraziza Aliah, Zulkhaeriyah Zulkhaeriyah, Amiruddin Amiruddin, Farida Esmianti Pages: 115 - 124 Abstract: This research discusses language change as a result of the influence of social media. In an increasingly advanced digital era, social media has become one of the primary communication tools for individuals worldwide. This study utilizes descriptive and comparative analysis methods to explore the influence of social media on language change. Firstly, the research identifies grammar, syntax, and vocabulary changes due to social media usage. Then, the study compares the language used in traditional communication with that used in social media communication. The findings of this research indicate significant language changes due to the use of social media. There is an increase in the use of abbreviations, emoticons, and distinctive terms specific to social media that affect the way humans communicate in a digital context. Additionally, casual writing styles, non-formal language use, and the adaptation of foreign words have become characteristics of social media communication. These language changes can have both positive and negative impacts. On the positive side, social media has enabled faster and more efficient communication between individuals across the globe. Using a more casual and non-formal language can also strengthen social bonds among social media users. However, on the other hand, these language changes can also pose challenges to understanding and communication between different generations or in formal contexts.

Authors:Linatul Laili Izzah, Rohmani Nur Indah Pages: 134 - 144 Abstract: Current linguistic studies tend to investigate sentence structure to determine the form of valency in written sentences. However, the study of valency in verbal communication still needs more exploration. This study investigated the types of valency and its arguments used by Ariana Jalia, a 6-year-old child, in her spontaneous utterances during the interview on ‘Steve TV Show’. As a qualitative descriptive study, the purpose was to gain a deep understanding of valency and its arguments found in the child's speech. In the field of semantics, the findings of this study indicated that the utterances produced by Ariana contained four types of valency zero, twelve types of valency one, and three types of verb valency. In addition, the semantic analysis investigated the thematic roles assigned to the argument verbs used by the child. Viewed from the agents, themes, causes, and topics of what Ariana described in her narrative, she employed transitive verbs. The findings shed light on the way children used language in informal and conversational settings and how they constructed sentences with different verb structures to convey their thoughts and ideas. It also highlights the importance of understanding the grammatical structures used by children in order to better support their language development. The need for further research suggests that there is still much to be learned about the early stages of language development and how children use language in various settings.

Authors:Wahdah Wahdah, Meikardo Samuel Prayuda, Juliana Juliana, Fiber Yun Almanda Ginting, Candra Ronitua Gultom Pages: 145 - 155 Abstract: The research is intended to determine the best approach to managing classrooms. There are discussions regarding the comparison of approaches that have proven effective in designing effective classroom management. Student achievement could not be separated from a successful classroom management system. The learning environment in the class is based on how well teachers build effective classroom management systems. It leads to the students’ well-being in the learning process. In order to achieve a successful classroom management system, teachers tend to apply different approaches. There are some studies that deal with the application of these approaches in the process of creating such an effective classroom management system. Two of them are the behavior modification approach and the analytical pluralistic approach. This research is completed by using quantitative approach. The findings lead to the conclusion that certain approaches have proven better through this experimental research. At the end of the research, readers might benefit by taking the result of this research as a reference in their daily teaching.

Authors:Nadhirah Muthi'ah, Karunia Devy Frida, T. Thyrhaya Zein Pages: 170 - 176 Abstract: The study aimed to find out the women's representation of Sima Bahous' speech entitled "Looking Forward to a Future of Gender Equality" by applying Mills' discourse analysis perspective, such as the subject-object position, reader position, and writer-reader position. The presence of the UN Women organization is a new step and a source of hope for women fighting for gender equality and women's empowerment. Sima Bahous, the woman behind UN Women, contributed to improving the position of women globally through her speech. The descriptive qualitative method was employed in the research supported by the theory of critical discourse analysis with a feminist perspective by Sara Mills. The result showed that in Sima Bahous' selected closing remarks speech, the position of the subject was placed by Sima Bahous as the speaker of her speech and UN Women as the object of the speech. The listener's position was related to the greeting to the listener. Through "mediation" and "cultural codes," this was achieved in a circumstantial manner.

Authors:Rizky Ananda Anakampun, Rahmah Fithriani Pages: 177 - 185 Abstract: Error analysis is widely used in EFL teaching and learning to identify the types and causes of errors made by EFL learners and to determine whether those errors are systematic or random. By examining these errors, teachers can develop effective solutions to reduce, eliminate or improve them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the grammatical errors made by senior high school students when composing recount texts. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach by analysing a corpus of 30 essays written by 15 students. Utilizing Dulay, Burt, & Krashen's (1982) framework of surface structure taxonomy for data analysis, the results reveal that students committed errors in four categories: disinformation, misordering, omission, and addition (ordered accordingly from the most to the least produced one). This study implies that recognizing students' writing errors may assist teachers in determining the focus of their instruction in order to enhance student’s learning to a better condition.

Authors:Mohammad Rezaul Karim Pages: 186 - 193 Abstract: The contemporary Assamese plays have developed as a result of numerous interwoven influences and channels. And it is clear that western influences were what shaped the Assamese and played into their perfection. After independence, Assamese writers of prose, poetry, and theatre, produced works that were on pace with the period. It demonstrated identical compositional experimentation and sociological analysis. The Assamese plays exhibit a strong western heritage from playwrights like Ibsen, Shaw, Beckett, and other absurd dramatists. A few dramatists, like Dr. Arun Sarma, Ratna Ojha, and Himendrakumar Borthakur made reflections of works of Lonesco and Beckett and despite the fact the impact of absurd dramas was not very common. In this article, the researcher investigated the works of the most renowned and esteemed Assamese playwright, Dr. Arun Sarma (1964), to emphasize the distinguishing components and similarities of Shri Nibaran Bhattacharya and Aahaar with those of absurd dramatic tropes. The researcher discovered, using the comparative technique of analysis, that, despite frequent assertions to the contrary, Aahaar has much in common with the absurdist movement, whereas Shri Nibaran Bhattacharya cannot be regarded as a fully-fledged absurd drama.

Authors:Mohammad Jamshed Pages: 194 - 207 Abstract: As the calls for global peace and peaceful coexistence grow louder, nationalism, often tearing apart the oldest and largest democracies, emerges as one of the formidable menaces to mankind today. It is a resurgent force in major democracies across continents. In Asia and particularly in the Indian subcontinent, it emerges in response to the colonial hegemony and the emulation of Western values. But it soon assumes a religious dimension. Tagore, in its rise as a global phenomenon, sees a threat to global peace and fraternity, an onslaught on human dignity, and calls it a 'destructive enthusiasm,' an 'epidemic of evil,' an edifice of illusions, and moral annihilation. Against the background of fragile peace and shattered human existence. This study investigates how nationalism dehumanizes people, kills a human character, distorts perceptions, divests them of moral ideals, reduces a man's life to a mechanical existence, and releases a demon of ethnonationalist violence by using text analysis as its research method. The study shows how the author's cosmopolitan vision is capable of guiding mankind in these troubled times. Besides, it shows how his vision can help people overcome this mass delusion and foster global understanding and peaceful coexistence.

Authors:Nandi Supriatnadi, Adriana Hasibuan, Muhammad Ali Pawiro Pages: 208 - 217 Abstract: This study examines the diction and style of language in commercial advertisements for Nivea beauty products and aims to describe and explore the meanings of the expressions written in the advertisements. Data in the form of phrases, sentences, and images are analyzed using a qualitative descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that the dictions in the Nivea-UV (予防美容ケア) advertisements are all directly related to the vocabulary for beauty care. There are also borrowed words from English to clarify the products offered. The style of language in the advertisement consists of eight hyperboles, two metaphors, and one synecdoche, metonymy, repetition, and onomatopoeia, respectively. The style appears in the form of exaggeration, presenting something clearly, repeating words, emphasizing certain words, showing the same word order, having words that express a relationship, and having words that represent associations or attributes. To refine language, there is politeness in the language forms of kenjou and teinei. The diction and style of language have their own characteristics, namely firmness and solidity, so that the intentions and meaning of the advertisement can be understood by the target audience.

Authors:Siti Aulia Nazarul Fitria, Mohamad Zaka Al Farisi Pages: 218 - 228 Abstract: The study analyses the phonological interference of phoneme pronunciation [q] by Sundanese and Javanese speakers compared with Arabic speakers. The researchers used a descriptive comparative qualitative method. The researchers listened, took notes, and documented the voice recordings of male students from the Sundanese and Javanese ethnic groups when reading the Qur'an to collect research data and analyse it using Praat software version 6.2.13. From the results of the recordings, Sundanese-speaking students and Javanese speakers would then be compared with reference speakers, namely Syekh Sa'ad Al-ghamidi, who has the capability of reciting verses from the Qur'an. The research results indicated phonological interference in the phoneme [q] when Sundanese and Javanese male students read the Qur'an. The factor contributing to the occurrence of pronunciation errors in the phoneme [q] was the transfer of SL and JL elements when using AL. Errors occurred due to deviations from the proper language rules. The research is expected to have positive implications, minimizing interference and increasing fluency in reading the Qur'an.

Authors:Karana Jaya Tarigan, Milisi Sembiring Pages: 229 - 240 Abstract: The article aims to analyze which allomorphs occur more accurately in English and what factors determine them. The problems that the researchers examine enable English learners and readers to pronounce English words, in this case, English morphemes. The theory employed by the researchers is morphophonemics, dealing with how morphemes alter their appearance or pronunciation in response to the sounds that surround them in a given piece of content. The approach or method that the researchers use in this article is descriptive qualitative method based on the data. The findings that the researchers come across are as follows: (a) the definitive article, (b) the definitive article, (c) Derivation, (d) Irregular verbs, (e) Past tense marker (-ed), (f) Present tense morpheme, (g) Plural noun markers, (h) Possessive markers. It can be seen that the shape or pronunciation of an English word depends on the linguistic environment in which it occurs, and it is obvious that morphophonemic change involves not only replacing but also changing the phonological shape of a morpheme. Based on the data, the researchers find that there are two basic types of allomorph, such as morphophonemic changes and suppletion. The researchers also attend to the theory of Pike, stating that sounds tend to be influenced by their environments. PubDate: 2023-06-28 DOI: 10.30743/ll.v7i1.7075 Issue No:Vol. 7, No. 1 (2023)
Authors:Galuh Nur Rohmah, Ulil Fi, Lina Hanifiyah Pages: 241 - 254 Abstract: English teachers often face confusion to relate between the materials and religious values especially teachers of Islamic school who should strongly show the relation. This paper aims to develop a teaching prototype as a guideline leading to the integration of religious values into English lesson for Islamic Junior High School. Design-based research was used as research method in which need analysis was initially done for gaining EFL teachers’ reflection and aspiration on their English class, and their understanding on integration of Islamic values. Three English teachers from both pesantren-based and non pesantren-based were involved as the research subjects. The need analysis was the basis for the prototype which then followed by expert judgment to shape the quality of prototype and future direction for integrated-holistic teaching. The study showed that integrated-holistic teaching for English lessons could cover spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and social dimensions which are very essential for students to be holistic/insan kamil students. In conclusion, English teachers are strongly possible to contextualize the prototype. Pedagogical implication of the study could be manifested by the existing clear direction for teaching English holistically. This study is not free from limitation. It needs to be more operationalized to potentially build students who are spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and socially mature.
