Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study presents the process of writing a novelette entitled Angel Blooms in the Darkness, developed as part of a Research and Development (R&D) project using Plomp's model. The research addresses identified issues including low student awareness of writing skills, insufficient motivation to write, limited knowledge of novelettes as a literary form, and inadequate understanding of novelette structure. The study employed five stages: preliminary investigation, design, realisation/construction, test and evaluation, and implementation. The resulting novelette—7,631 words, 41 pages in A5 format—follows the drama romance genre featuring Generation Z protagonists and applies Freytag's Pyramid narrative structure across its prologue, eleven chapters, and epilogue. Four experts, two in literary writing and two in English, validated the manuscript, yielding an average score of 3.19 out of 4 from literary writing experts and 3.00 out of 4 from English experts. The validated product was subsequently published on Wattpad. Findings confirm that the novelette serves as an effective and accessible medium for developing students' creative writing skills and increasing their motivation to write. Keywords: writing skills, novelette, Generation Z, Freytag's Pyramid, Research and Development

Abstract

This study investigates how novice translators perceive and engage with AI-assisted translation tools, emphasizing their emerging AI literacy and its impact on translation learning. Twelve undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory translation course participated in semi-structured interviews, sharing their experiences with tools such as Google Translate, DeepL, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in tool usage, perceived benefits and concerns, and attitudes toward AI’s role in learning. The findings indicate that novice translators actively experiment with multiple AI tools, often combining them strategically to support vocabulary, grammar, phrasing, and text naturalness. Participants appreciated AI’s efficiency and scaffolding potential but expressed concerns about overreliance, skill erosion, cultural inaccuracies, and ethical or privacy issues. Despite these concerns, they consistently viewed AI as a supportive resource rather than a replacement for manual translation, emphasizing the importance of human judgment, critical evaluation, and post-editing. Instructor guidance also played a role in shaping responsible AI use, with mixed stances encouraging careful, reflective engagement. The study underscores the need for translation curricula to incorporate AI literacy, enabling learners to leverage AI’s benefits while maintaining foundational skills, autonomy, and ethical awareness. These insights highlight the potential for human-centered, hybrid approaches in AI-integrated translation education.

Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi informasi di era digital telah memengaruhi kehidupan anak-anak, termasuk mereka yang tinggal di panti asuhan. Anak-anak panti asuhan menghadapi tantangan tersendiri dalam penggunaan media digital akibat keterbatasan pengawasan dan bimbingan personal. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan literasi media anak-anak di Panti Asuhan Bakti Mulia Palembang melalui metode workshop berbasis community-based approach dengan pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR). Program dilaksanakan melalui tahapan observasi, penyusunan modul literasi, pelatihan interaktif, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan anak dalam menggunakan media digital. Kemampuan membedakan berita hoaks meningkat dari 30% menjadi 80%, anak-anak mulai kritis terhadap informasi, serta lebih bijak dalam menggunakan gawai. Selain itu, pengasuh juga memperoleh pemahaman baru untuk mendampingi anak secara mandiri. Kendala utama yang dihadapi meliputi keterbatasan fasilitas digital, waktu pelaksanaan, dan variasi usia peserta. Namun demikian, program ini terbukti efektif menumbuhkan kesadaran literasi media sejak dini dan berpotensi dikembangkan secara berkelanjutan melalui kolaborasi dengan komunitas literasi digital dan lembaga pendidikan.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of learning Language Etiquette in English for Professional Purposes courses in higher education. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and students’ reflective journals from vocational college students. The findings indicate that Language Etiquette learning enhances students’ confidence, politeness, and ability to communicate appropriately in multicultural professional contexts. Role-play, case studies, and simulation activities were perceived as particularly effective; although some students struggled to apply etiquette principles in spontaneous or formal interactions. The study concludes that integrating Language Etiquette into English instruction strengthens students’ pragmatic and intercultural competence and recommends the use of more contextualized and interactive learning activities to improve practical application.   Keywords: Language etiquette, students’ perceptions, intercultural communication, qualitative study, professional English   DOI: https://zenodo.org/records/18084645

Abstract

This article examines the representation of female bodies as objects of male sexuality within a patriarchal framework in Alice Munro’s short story “Lichen” (1985). Using a feminist approach, this study applies Margaret Gullette’s theory of Age Ideology and Decline Narratives. The analysis explores how aging is constructed by culture and how the decline narratives of aging are repeatedly told in literature. Through the two contrasting, leading female characters, Munro portrays the objectification of female bodies: the older wife’s aging body is deemed unsatisfactory by her husband, while the young body of the second wife, encapsulated in a nude photograph, is reduced to an object for male gratification. Within the domestic sphere, the husband’s dominance over his wife reflects Canadian societal norms, which also becomes the setting of the story, where men are seen as leaders and women as submissive. The story’s title, “lichen,” a metaphor for female pubic hair, symbolizes the fleeting value placed on women’s bodies to satisfy male desires. Ultimately, Munro critiques cultural ideologies that perpetuate women’s objectification, challenging the social constructs that subordinate women to the sexual expectations of men.

Abstract

This study investigated collaborative project-based translation of bilingual Indonesian–English menu booklets as a pedagogical context where linguistic, cultural, and cognitive demands intersect. Central to this process was students’ metacognitive awareness, which regulates how they plan, monitor, negotiate, and revise translation decisions when confronting culturally embedded culinary texts. Although menu translation plays a crucial role in culinary tourism and intercultural communication, its pedagogical implementation particularly through collaborative Project-Based Learning (PjBL) frameworks foregrounding metacognitive strategy use remains underexplored in translation studies. Addressing this gap, the study adopted a qualitative case study design grounded in constructivist pedagogy and PjBL. Twenty vocational higher education students were purposively selected and divided into five collaborative groups, each assigned to translate a themed Indonesian menu (vegan, fusion food, sweets, street food, and seafood) into a bilingual booklet. Data were triangulated from student-produced menu booklets, non-participant classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using thematic and document analysis. The findings reveal persistent challenges related to culture-specific culinary terms, lexical gaps, and tensions between cultural authenticity and communicative clarity. To address these challenges, students employed metacognitive strategies such as strategic planning, peer negotiation, self-monitoring, and reflective revision, alongside translation techniques including descriptive equivalence, borrowing, amplification, and literal translation. However, uneven application of these strategies exposed conflicts between domestication and foreignization, and between linguistic accuracy and audience accessibility. Despite limitations such as inconsistent terminology, unequal participation, and absence of authentic client feedback, collaborative project-based translation enhanced students’ translation competence by fostering metacognitive awareness, intercultural sensitivity, and multimodal design skills.
