“…However, Irma wants to show that women are deceived by love and men. It is not only women who can be enslaved by love as written in the article (Huang, 2018). Irma also shows that men can also be enslaved because of love in the short story of Satu Perihal Kita dalam Sebuah Kamar yang Kutulis pada Sebuah Kamar yang Lain (one issue in a room that I wrote in another room) "You who have the ability and power are more than enough ... it is now helpless by the love that you, yourself, are not understand "(p.59).…”

“…Literary works can bring up a discourse that can strengthen children and women or even weaken them. Literary works become an essential part of changing the concepts of thinking and human consciousness because imagination has a place for human consciousness (Huang, 2018). The short stories "Ning" implicitly promote one of the SDGs targets that it is Gender Equality.…”

Plenty of media is used, such as newspapers, magazines, novels, and movies to share information and incorporate some life values, including gender equality values. The collection of short stories entitled NING was written by Irma Argiyanti. She is an active Lombok writer. This research aims to identify the writer's ideology through the artwork (the short story collection). This methodological framework was adopted from Fairclough’s concept of the three-dimensional model, explored gender representation in the short stories, and tried to identify the truth behind the texts' ideology. The results show that the stories represent implicitly and explicitly gender equality values. Therefore, the topics and the stories' flow provide patriarchy, women empowerment, and equality values in the family. Based on the data, there are about 33 words representing women’s names and 19 words of men. Consequently, the short stories pursue the readers to think, elaborate, and accept gender equality values, and it is expected to implement in daily life and change to be a better society.

“…Because one of the primary concerns of critical literacy is to help learners uncover the ideologies, biases, and social injustices represented by text, many teachers have used fairy tales for this purpose with their students. Some of the popular topics addressed in critical literacy practices using fairy tales include gender (Garofalo, 2013;Hayik, 2015Hayik, , 2016Huang, 2019;Kim & Cho, 2017;Tsai, 2010;Wee et al, 2017) and racial identity (Ajayi, 2012;Hsieh & Matoush, 2012).…”

“…Although fairy tales have been quite popularly used in teaching critical literacy to EFL students (e.g. Gustine & Insani, 2019;Hayik, 2015Hayik, , 2016Huang, 2019;Ko & Wang, 2009), their use in teacher education has not been reported. In fact, not much research has reported how critical literacy is introduced to EFL pre-service teachers.…”

The need for a more critical approach to EFL teaching and learning is undeniable, yet little has been done to prepare teachers for teaching with this approach. This article reports one of the cycles on my action research study, involving a teacher educator and 35 pre-service English teachers. Together with the teacher educator, a unit on critical literacy was developed using fairy tales as the core text. In the unit, we introduced pre-service teachers to critical literacy through the critical reading, analysis, and rewriting of fairy tales for social transformation. They were assigned to rewrite a fairy tale as a form of social action and to reflect on the choices made in the rewriting process. The re-written fairy tales and the accompanying reflection essay were analysed using a rubric adapted from the four dimensions of critical literacy (Lewison et al., 2002). The re-written fairy tales and the reflections suggest the pre-service teachers’ growing understanding of the non-neutrality of text, ability to read from a different perspective and offer an alternative one, and ability to identify socio-political issues, such as stereotypes, and to subvert them.
