Spotting Taboo in the SAMAN Novel: A Feminist Perspective in Digital Epoch
The novel "SAMAN" (1998) by Ayu Utami continues to provoke controversy due to its explicit portrayal of sexuality, which remains socially unacceptable even in today’s era. As a prominent figure of the "sastra wangi" generation, Ayu Utami garnered significant attention by highlighting real-life events that challenged societal norms and promoted freedom of expression during Indonesia's reformation period. Previous critics and studies had labeled the novel as vulgar and taboo. Furthermore, the digital era facilitates voices into this literary work from all people in unlimited space. Building on its issues, this paper provides a systematic examination of sexual taboos from a feminist perspective and explores potential threats to future digital literacy. Methodologically, it relies on qualitative descriptions presented in the original novel and literary critiques. The analysis results in two insightful findings, first, through the lens of a feminist perspective, the analysis uncovers disparities in women's participation, rights, roles, and positions, while also candidly depicting taboos evident in certain descriptions and activities. Second, it reveals the description of the cultural context that portrays the story. The findings not only provide insights gained from this analysis but also offer valuable perspectives for fellow writers and contribute to the ongoing digital discourse in feminist literature on related issues.

CODE MIXING IN ESL CLASSROOM: BARRIER OR BRIDGE TO LANGUAGE LEARNING?
This article explores the dual role of code mixing in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms, examining whether it serves as a barrier or a bridge to effective language learning. Drawing from theoretical perspectives and practical classroom observations, the discussion highlights the potential benefits of code-mixing, such as enhancing comprehension, reducing learner anxiety, and facilitating smoother transitions to target language use. However, the article also addresses the potential drawbacks, including reduced exposure to English, overreliance on the first language (L1), and limited immersion. The findings suggest that code-mixing can be a valuable pedagogical tool when used strategically and in moderation. Ultimately, the article concludes that the impact of code mixing depends on how it is implemented by educators, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful and purposeful application to maximize its benefits while minimizing its risks in ESL settings. Therefore, ESL educators must exercise pedagogical awareness to balance innovation and integrity in language teaching while adapting to learners’ linguistic needs.

Student Based Interactive History Learning Media In Developing Analysis Skills In Historical Events
In a teaching and learning process, two very important elements are teaching methods and learning media. These two aspects are interrelated. Choosing a particular teaching method will influence the type of learning media that is appropriate, although there are still various other aspects that must be considered in choosing media, including teaching objectives, types of tasks and responses that students are expected to master after teaching takes place, and the learning context including student characteristics. Learning media is the media used in learning, which includes teacher aids in teaching as well as means of conveying messages from learning sources to recipients of student learning messages. As presenters and distributors of messages, learning media in certain cases can represent teachers presenting learning information to students. If the media program is designed and developed well, then this function can be played by the media even without the presence of a teacher. History is events, processes, and history is the movement of change. Meaning, which is not an event, which does not describe a process, and which does not analyze change, is not history. Assembling historical material with a structured model, the first step in its application can be using a table of movement of change with basic patterns of development by studying historical facts, concepts and principles or causality.
UTILIZATION OF AUDIOVISUAL MEDIA TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' INTEREST AND SKILLS IN LEARNING HISTORY

Along with that, students can more easily visualize learning materials, strengthen memory, and increase learning motivation. The use of audiovisual media in learning also opens up space for the formation of critical and analytical skills in students. They can be invited to think creatively, develop media literacy, and understand messages conveyed through various forms of visuals and sounds.
IMPLEMENTATION OF STUDENT-BASED HISTORY LEARNING MEDIA THROUGH A PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING APPROACH AT DISMA
Implementation is one of the activities or actions that are planned and made in detail to obtain a certain goal, and learning media is a tool in learning and teaching activities intended to convey messages from teachers to students in the effectiveness of learning and teaching. Problem-based learning is a learning approach that uses world problems or a real project in solving problems as a context for thinking critically in problem-solving skills in obtaining new information. This study uses a qualitative method in the form of a literature study by finding various relevant sources, reading them, and evaluating them.
