As current era necessitates access to information technology, people of all ages are exposed to the prevalent online hate speech. This literature analysis aims to analyse the psychological characterisation of Fatih, one of the characters in Syahid Muhammad’s novel Egosentris, to address how current social media interactions negatively affects one’s mental health. This article described characterisation and psychological conflict using the literary psychology approach based on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, in line with the characterisation theory proposed by Nurgiyantoro (2007). Psychoanalytic theory is a staple theory of human personality that is often used in the world of literature, which is divided into three structures of human nature, i.e., id, ego, and superego. The analysis involved several steps, such as categorisation, tabulation, interpretation, inference, and validity of the data. The results of the study revealed that Fatih's personality in the Egosentris novel is kind, honest, sensitive, critical, and caring. Though in some situations, Fatih's character was found to employ some negative characters such as being stubborn, spiteful and bad-tempered. This present article also found the psychological conflict experienced by Fatih includes emotions such as anger, anxiety, fear, regret, pressure, and resentment. These kinds of psychological conflict have changed his personality to be an inclusive person. The study reflects the outcomes of psychological analysis on Fatih’s character to raise public awareness about regarding importance of noticing people’s mental health and to diminish the spread of hate comments and harmful speech to others.

The Ignored Skill in EFL Context “Listening”: A Review of Selected Article by Omar Gokhan Ulum Sandra Yunira
Elsya : Journal of English Language Studies Vol. 1 No. 1 (2019): Elsya : Journal of English Language Studies
Publisher : Universitas Lancang Kuning

This paper aimed at reviewing the selected article entitled “The ignored Skill in EFL Context” written by Omer Gokhan Ulum. This study sees Ulum’s article as a unique study and essential to explore the difficulties of listening comprehension faced by students of the first-year university with elementary level English. Ulum’s research involved 50 EFL students from three different classes. The data was accumulated by interview and a set of questions. The outcome of the study showed that EFL students find it hard to understand the listening when people speak with numerous and uncommon accents. Also, the students do not have the skill to understand the meanings of words which are not pronounced accurately. This present study concluded that the students’ inability to quickly memorize the words or sentences that they have just overheard is highly likely to be the reason why the listening skill is considered as an ‘annoyance’ for the EFL students in the study. These results may help EFL teachers in boosting students’ listening comprehension skills. As an outcome, this present paper may say that Ulum’s article can be replicable onto similar research topics, especially on the methodology section.

Elsya : Journal of English Language Studies Vol. 1 No. 2 (2019): Elsya : Journal of English Language Studies
Publisher : Universitas Lancang Kuning

This paper aims to state that knowledge blindness in educational research has severe obstacles to understanding knowledge development. Karl Maton offers sociological concepts of Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) - 'semantic gravity' and 'semantic density' – systematically.

This problem forms the starting point for interdisciplinary research discussed in the papers collected in this special edition. Freebody (2013). At this point, the problem is the range with each discipline as the background of this research.

Examining Various Interpretations of Grice's Cooperative Principle Yona Dwi Tirta Syafitri; Vira Budiarti; Afriyanti Simamora; Rizka Aprilya
Elsya : Journal of English Language Studies Vol. 1 No. 2 (2019): Elsya : Journal of English Language Studies
Publisher : Universitas Lancang Kuning

This study aims to examine various interpretations of the principle of cooperation. The principle of cooperation (CP) was first proposed by H.P. Grice in a series of lectures given in 1967. Grice's most influential contribution to linguistics was his theory of implicature. He illustrated that communication follows what he calls the Cooperative Principle (CP) and argues that the fundamental assumption we make when we speak is that we try to work together to build meaningful conversations (1975). The principle of Grice's Cooperation has become controversial in pragmatics. The main source of controversy related to CP is that the term "cooperation" is open to different interpretations. This article uses descriptive qualitative methods. As for the results of the study of this article, the principle of cooperation has always tended to focus too much on the term 'cooperation', rather than looking at and examining the principle titles for motivation given by Grice to the mechanisms that he has identified.

This present article aims to review and discuss the findings, as well as the strengths and weaknesses found in Nihat's paper. The article seems to have a clear flow on how to explain these two types of education and made the discourse easy to understand. Therefore, the replication of Nihat's research should be easy enough for similar research purposes.
