Abstract

The research's goal was to find out why the markobar texts used the modality in the pabagas boru ritual. Qualitative research methodology was employed. In Padangsidimpuan, two Pabagas Boru (wedding) ceremonies provided the data. This research focused on the 14 markobar roles in the Pabagas Boru ritual and two atobangon (markobar experts) in Padangsidimpuan. As the research's data, there were 66 sentences with modality that participants provided orally. Halliday's (2004) modality theory was applied to examine the rationale for the usage of modality in the markobar texts during the Pabagas Boru ceremonies. The data were analyzed based on Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The results showed that there were four reasons of modality use, namely, (1) to portray possibilities that happened in a new family; (2) to express the speakers’ opinion and suggestion; (3) to obligate the new couple in creating a better family; and (4) to tell the speakers’ willingness toward the new couple.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) translation programs such as Google Translate, DeepL, and ChatGPT are increasingly utilized by students studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL). They offer quick translation, vocabulary support, and writing support that can help in Self-Regulated Learning (SRL). This study investigated the use of AI translation by students in planning, monitoring, and evaluating learning. A qualitative design was adopted with 30 EFL students from a North Sumatran state university. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to gather data and thematically analyze them. The results suggested that AI tools are commonly applied to read difficult texts, practice vocabulary, and proofread writing. They applied them to all stages of SRL, but with different levels of reflection. The study showed unquestionably benefits in the form of easier access to material, effectiveness, and assurance, but unequivocal risks of overdependence, mistranslation, and reduced critical thinking. It means that AI tools can assist self-directed learning if used judiciously with supervision and clear moral guidelines.
