They are still required annually by each school despite some calls to remove them. Other widespread issues with education occur from the province to national levels. Improving the quality of education and creating a happier learning environment are suggested as ways to solve problems collaboratively between government and stakeholders.
Second Language Acquisition (SLA) refers to the process of learning a second language. SLA researchers study how people develop proficiency in a non-native language, both inside and outside the classroom, with the goal of describing and explaining the acquisition process. Key aspects of SLA theory include developmental patterns in learner language, the influence of internal and external factors, and hypotheses about the natural order and mechanisms of acquisition. Prominent hypotheses proposed to explain SLA include Krashen's Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis and Natural Order Hypothesis.

Missery summary
1. “To whom shall I tell my grief?”
The main character in the story “Misery” by Anton Chekhov asks this
question because even though he is around people, no one will listen
to him. Iona Potapov needs to talk to someone about the death of
his son.
Setting
It is winter in Russia. It is miserably cold with snow falling as the main
character and his little horse drawn carriage wait for people. The
time is the late nineteenth century.
Tone
The mood and atmosphere speak to the overwhelming (meliputi)
grief of the main character. The people that he tries to talk with
about his loss do not care and brush his misery aside. The harshness
of human nature strains the emotions as the reader lives through the
story with Iona.
Themes
Grief
The theme of grief encircles the protagonist Iona. He is isolated from
the rest of humanity because he has no one with whom to share his
2. pain. Iona looks for someone to stop and let him reflect back on the
terrible event that will forever impact his life. No one seems to care.
Man’s inhumanity to man
The incidences that Iona experiences in the story portray the worst
side of mankind. The customers are rude, unfeeling, indifferent, and
uninterested. They do not want to get involved because they might
have to do something or help the driver; consequently, they act as
though they do not hear him.
Summary/Plot
Iona and his little horse wait for people to need his services. He is
physically and mentally exhausted (lelah/capek) and debilitated from
his grief for the loss of son only a week ago. He encounters five
incidences in the story.
1st incident
Brusque (berkelakukan kasar) officer-
The officer is in a hurry. He does react to Iona’s story, but it is only
to tell him that lifegoes on. He softens somewhat and makes a
joke. There is only polite interest.
2nd Incident
3. Three drunken young men
They have their own problems. They are loud and abusive toward
Iona. They are numbed by alcohol. One of the men is a sick
hunchback. He is especially miserable. The hunchback reacts to
Iona’s story by saying that “We all shall die.”
3rd Incident
Iona stops and tries to engage an indifferent house-porter (kuli) who
is delivering a package. He tells Iona to go on.
At this point, the sleigh driver gives in to his misery. He stops then
and goes back to the yard. He does not have enough money to buy
food for the horse.
4th Incident
In the yard, Iona sees another cabman. Again, he tries to engage the
young man in a conversation about his terrible grief. The young man
goes to sleep while he is talking to him.
5th Incident
Iona reflects on his grief. Then, he decides to check on his horse.
'Are you munching (mengunyah)?' Iona asks his mare (kuda
betina). 'Since we have not earned enough for oats, we will eat
4. hay….Yes…I have grown too old to drive… My son ought to be
driving, not I…He was a real coachman. Kuzma Ionitch is gone…He
said goodbye to me...'
The old man continues to talk as the horse eats his hay (jerami). The
horse seems to listen to his master and breathes on the old man’s
hands.
Maybe the old man will feel better once he has verbalized the details
of his son’s illness to his death and funeral. Finally, Iona may find
relief in talking to his little white mare. He pours his heart out. The
story is left with an indecisive conclusion. Hopefully, the resolution
for Iona will come with the purging of his grief with his working
companion, his little horse.

"Misery"?
The Lament (Misery)
by Anton Chekhov
5. "To whom shall I tell my grief?"
THE twilight of evening. Big flakes of wet snow are whirling lazily
about the street lamps, which have just been lighted, and lying in a
thin soft layer on roofs, horses' backs, shoulders, caps. Iona Potapov,
the sledge-driver, is all white like a ghost. He sits on the box without
stirring, bent as double as the living body can be bent. If a regular
snowdrift fell on him it seems as though even then he would not
think it necessary to shake it off...
"The Lament," also known as "Misery," is a short story by Anton
Chekhov about a Russian sledge driver whose son has recently died
and his reactions.
The central theme of the story, as the title would suggest, is
"Misery." Iona Potapov, the driver, takes several fares and each time
tries to share his grief with his passengers.
"Drive on! drive on! . . ." says the officer. "We shan't get there till to-
morrow going on like this. Hurry up!"
The sledge-driver cranes his neck again, rises in his seat, and with
heavy grace swings his whip. Several times he looks round at the
6. officer, but the latter keeps his eyes shut and is apparently disinclined
to listen.
However, his fares all have their own problems in life, or simply do
not care; Iona is unable to unburden himself by sharing his grief and
so continues on, "white like a ghost."
Iona looks round at them. Waiting till there is a brief pause, he looks
round once more and says:
"This week . . . er. . . my. . . er. . . son died!"
"We shall all die, . . ." says the hunchback with a sigh, wiping his lips
after coughing. "Come, drive on! drive on!"
Without any sympathetic human contact, Iona feels the pain of his
son's passing more powerfully than if he had said nothing. Finally, he
turns to his faithful mare, who can't comprehend his sorrow but
listens patiently.
"Are you munching?" Iona asks his mare, seeing her shining eyes.
"There, munch away, munch away...
He said good-by to me. . . . He went and died for no reason. . . .
Now, suppose you had a little colt, and you were own mother to that
7. little colt. . . . And all at once that same little colt went and died. . . .
You'd be sorry, wouldn't you? . . ."
The little mare munches, listens, and breathes on her master's hands.
Iona is carried away and tells her all about it.
(All Quotes: Chekhov, "The Lament (Misery)", readbookonline.net)
It is in the act of telling the story that Iona finds a measure of peace.
He has tried to connect with his fellow man, but they are all wrapped
up in their own lives, superficial or otherwise. Iona's final act is similar
to that of confession; he tells the story that has been weighing on his
mind and so is relieved of its pressure. His "misery" has eased
through his telling of a "lament."
What is the main conflict in this story "Misery"? Man Vs. Man -
Man Vs. Society - Man Vs. himself (dilemma)?
The dilemma is not man versus himself because Iona is aware of the
source of his misery. A personal dilemma would have placed Iona in a
position where he battles against an obvious cause that he tries to
deny.
Neither is the dilemma of a man versus man nature because there is
nobody else challenging nor discrediting Iona's emotions. There is, in
8. fact, no man at all for him to speak to. It would be hardly a man
versus man issue.
The main conflict, or dilemma, in Anton Chekhov's short
story "Misery" is that of man versus society.
Main character Iona Potapov is a cab driver (horse cab, that is, as the
story is set in the 1880's) whose son dies that same week.
Unfortunately, life must go on for Iona. Yet, we realize as the story
goes on that Iona is alone in the world, and has absolutely nobody to
speak with and let himself vent (melepaskan udara / keluh) his
sadness.
All that he can do is try to convey some of his emotions to an officer
who takes the cab to Vyborgskaya. However, as he tries to explain his
sorrow, the officer's attention goes back to the eagerness of getting
early to his destination.
As more people enter the cab and abuse the driver's inability to
concentrate, he finally finishes his rounds only to see that, he cannot
even count on his own peers as asupport system. As a result, he ends
up talking to his horse.
9. Man’s indifference to the pain of another—this is theme of the story
“Misery” by Anton Chekhov. The title symbolizes the feelings of the
protagonist Iona Potapov, a Russian sleigh-driver, who is suffering
from intense grief.
The setting of the story is winter in a Russian town. The time is the
late nineteenth century. It is miserable outside. The weather is cold,
bleak, and snowing. The surroundings in the story amplify the
wretchedness of the main character.
“Big flakes of wet snow are whirling lazily about the street lamps,
which have just been lighted, and lying in a thin soft layer on the
roofs, horses’ backs, shoulders, caps.”
Iona Potapov has faced one of the most difficult events a parent can
face. His only son has died from a fever after a short illness. He has
been dead about a week. Iona’s overwhelming grief needs an
outlet. He wants to talk to anyone he can about his misery.
The old man’s heartache is enhanced by the knowledge that he is
really too old to be driving particularly in this kind of weather. His
son had taken over for him; however, his horse needs to eat and his
poverty demands that Iona try to find fares.
10. Throughout the night, Iona encounters four situations that should
enable him to talk to someone. Yet, none of these people will
engage the old man to allow him discuss the story of his son. He
wants to tell someone that he wishes that it had been him instead of
his son who had died.
1st encounter (pertemuan)
An officer who has a harsh manner softens a little when he hears of
the old man’s son. He yells at the old man’s incompetent
driving. After a brief inquiry as to how the son died, the matter is
dropped, and the officer returns to wanting Iona to hurry.
2nd encounter
Three young men, one of whom is hunchbacked, get in the sleigh.
The crippled one is the harshest toward Iona. They curse and shove
each other for room in the small sleigh. The more that the men curse,
yell, and call him names, the lonelier that Iona feels. He finally tells
them that his son has died this week. The hunchback reacts by
saying that everyone has to die.
3rd encounter
11. A house porter carrying a package stands on a corner. Iona asks him
the time. After the porter answers, he tells Iona to drive on.
This is the final straw. Iona determines to give it up for the night and
return to the cab barn. He does not have the money to buy his
horse oats, so she will have to eat the hay.
4th encounter
While the old man is inside the cab drivers’ area, he sees another
younger driver. The young man gets up to get a drink. Iona tells
the younger man that his son has died but gets no response
form the other driver. Returning to his corner, the young man covers
his head and goes to sleep.
The old man is “thirsty” to talk about his feelings. In his mind, Iona
thinks a woman would be best to talk to since women “blubber at
anything.”
He goes to check on his white mare. She is eating the hay. Iona
talks to the little horse which seems to listen to him. He begins to
tell the horse about his son. This does give him some relief.
Iona tries to relate to the horse that if she had a little colt and it died,
the mare would be sad just as the old man. As he talks to her, the
12. little horse looks at him, munches her hay, and breathes on the old
man’s hands. Iona can share his grief with someone who will listen to
him.
A father’s grief—this is the essence of the story “Misery” by Anton
Chekhov. Anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one can
understand the feelings of Iona Potapov, whose son died about a
week ago. Chekhov provides introspection into the attitudes and lack
of human involvement. when men are confronted with the intense
pain felt by the protagonist in the story, they choose to look the
other way.
The narration of the story is third person point of view with a limited
omniscient narrator. The tone of the story circulates around the deep
sadness and lack of compassion given to Iona as he searches for an
outlet for his sorrow
The story takes place in a Russian city in the middle of winter. It is
extremely cold and snowing in the late nineteenth century.
Iona is an old man who has suffered the worst loss a parent can
have: his son has died in a hospital from a fever. The old man has to
13. drive a sleigh to take people around the city. During the course of
the evening, Iona will have several situations that frustrate him in his
effort to discuss and gain sympathy for his predicament.
1st fare
A military officer gets in to the sleigh. Because the old man does not
normally drive the sleigh, he makes several mistakes. The officer
yells at the driver in anger. Iona tells the soldier about his son. The
officer initially shows a little interest in the son’s death when he asks
of what did the son die. When Iona begins to tell his story, the
officer loses interest and continues to yell about Iona’s driving.
2nd fare
Three young men enter the sleigh. They find it difficult to sit
comfortably. One of the men is a hunchback who is sarcastic and
makes fun of the old man. Again, Iona tries to tell his story with the
hunchback reacting:
‘This week…er…my…er….son died!’
‘We shall all die…’ says the hunchback with a high, wiping his lips
after a cough.
The three continue to yell and berate the old man.
14. 3rd situation
Iona sees a house porter who is carrying a package. The old man
decides to speak to the porter. “What time will it be, friend?’ he
asks.
“Going on ten…Why have you stopped here? Drive on!”
Pushing ahead a little ways, misery overtakes the driver. He gives
into his grief and decides to return to the cab barn. He gives his little
mare some hay because he cannot afford to give her oats.
Iona goes inside the drivers’ room. Here he sees a young cab
driver who gets up to get a drink of water. Again, the old man tries
to tell the story of his son’s death. The other driver acts as though
he did not hear him and returns to his seat and falls asleep.
Frustration eats at Iona. He longs for someone to talk to. His
daughter lives in the country. A woman would be good to talk to
because they cry at anything.
Returning to check on the horse, Iona finds the little mare munching
on her hay.
‘Are you munching?’ Iona asks his mare, seeing her shining eyes. My
son ought to be driving, not I. He was the real coachman…The little
15. mare munches, listens, and breathes on her master’s hands. Iona is
carried away and tells her about his son.
What a sad indictment of the treatment of one man to another! No
one was willing to comfort Iona. All the old man needed was
someone to listen to him for just a few minutes.
