Abstract

Abstract: For many years, it is believed that a good translator should be invisible in conducting his or her work. The more transparent and invisible the translator is, the better the quality of translation becomes. However, many experts argued that it is actually impossible for the translators  to  translate  without  leaving  their  thumbprints  behind. Thus, the notion of translator style appeared. Studying and exploring the topic of translator style would provide more corroborative support on the view that translators are not merely a mirror of the original author; in fact, they are creative individuals with distinct linguistic characteristics and behaviors, and that translation is not inferior to writing. The objective of this study is to analyze the style of two Indonesian translators of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “A Scandal in Bohemia.” Moreover, this research also aims to enrich the literature of translator style in the Indonesian context since there are only a few studies about this particular topic in the Indonesian context. This research is qualitative in nature and utilized both corpus-assisted methodology and manual text analysis to gain the data. The findings show that the two Indonesian translators had fundamental differences in their translation. Translator A’s style in translating is more oriented to  target  text  and  target  readers  whereas  Translators  B  are  more inclined to adhere to the style of the original author and the source text.Key words: translator style, literary work, short storyAbstrak: Selama bertahun-tahun, banyak pihak yang meyakini bahwa seorang penerjemah yang baik seharusnya transparan dalam melakukan pekerjaannya. Semakin transparan  penerjemahnya, semakin baik kualitas  terjemahannya. Namun,   banyak   ahli   berpendapat   bahwa   sebenarnya   tidak   mungkin penerjemah menerjemahkan tanpa meninggalkan jejak. Oleh karena itu, gagasan mengenai gaya penerjemah muncul. Mempelajari dan mengeksplorasi topik mengenai gaya penerjemah akan memberikan dukungan yang lebih kuat pada pandangan bahwa penerjemah bukan sekadar cermin dari penulis asli; pada kenyataannya, mereka adalah individu yang kreatif dengan karakteristik dan perilaku linguistik yang berbeda, dan kegiatan penerjemahan itu tidak kalah penting dengan kegiatan menulis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis gaya dua penerjemah karya Sir Arthur Conan Doyle yang berjudul "A Scandal in Bohemia" dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Selain itu, penelitian  ini  juga  bertujuan untuk  memperkaya  literature  mengenai  gaya penerjemah dalam konteks Indonesia karena hanya ada beberapa studi tentang topik ini dalam konteks Indonesia. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dan menggunakan  metodologi  berbasis  korpus  dan  analisis  teks  secara  manual untuk mendapatkan  data. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan  bahwa kedua penerjemah memiliki perbedaan mendasar dalam terjemahan mereka. Gaya Penerjemah A dalam menerjemahkan lebih berorientasi pada teks target dan target pembaca sedangkan Penerjemah B lebih cenderung untuk mematuhi gaya penulis asli dan teks sumber.Kata kunci: gaya penerjemah, karya sastra, cerita pendek

Abstract

In the past, English was used as a mean of communication by people living in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia only. However, nowadays, different kinds of “Englishes” have emerged in many different countries. Some interesting phenomenon of English varieties can be found in Asia. The usage of English in Asia is blended with the characteristics of the countries’ native languages, which results in English with different pronunciation, vocabularies, grammar, and so on. In this paper, the writer will discuss the emerging English varieties in countries located in south-east of Asia. In addition, the possibility for the emergence of Indonesian English will also be discussed in this paper. Keywords: English varieties, English in Asia, World Englishes

Abstract

This research aims to assess the translation quality by comparing the source text and the target text. The researcher decided to compare the speech by Barack Obama in 2012 United Nations General Assembly and its translation in Indonesian. The model that the researcher used to find out the translation quality is Translation Quality Assessment: A Model Revisited by Juliane House. The model focuses on comparing both source and target text in order to acquire some mismatches and errors before concluding the statement of quality. In the end, the researcher got the conclusion that the interpersonal function is slightly changed while the ideational function remains the same. Moreover, the researcher also concluded that this model is more appropriate to be used in assessing the translation quality of explicit texts such as texts with informative and operative purposes.Keywords: translation quality assessment, speech, juliane house, mismatches, errors

Abstract

The objective of this research is to find out the lexical richness that the students of English Language and Culture Department have by deeply analyzing their undergraduate theses as the data. The researcher limited the data into undergraduate theses produced by students of batch 2010/2011 of English Language and Culture Department. The researcher used computer software called AntWordProfiler, a kind of software for profiling texts created by Laurence Anthony. The data were processed using the said software in order to produce the type and the token of the text. Afterwards, the researcher used type-token ratio (TTR) as the method in measuring the lexical richness as a part of data analysis. The closer the TTR score to 1, the higher the lexical richness is. However, the result shows that the students’ lexical richness is quite low since none of the students achieved even 0.5.Keywords:  lexical richness, type-token ratio (TTR), undergraduate theses

Abstract

In any practical field, tensions always exist between the group that views theoretical study as necessary and those who consider it pointless: likewise in the case of translation. Translation often places most of its emphasis on its practical aspects. The theoretical aspect of translation is often marginalized in professional settings. Nevertheless, in the context of translator training, translation theory is as an essential area, which needs to be studied and explored. This study investigated the views of 5th- and 7th-semester students of English Department at a private undergraduate educational institution in Jakarta, Indonesia, on translation theory. The class Theory of Translation is the only official locus for instruction in theories of translation at the target institution. The results of this study may provide several benefits, including the aiding the creation of syllabuses for and teaching translation theory. The author used a questionnaire to acquire the data needed to address the research questions. The results of this research revealed that most students in the 5th and 7th semester of English study in Jakarta, Indonesia, have a positive perception of translation theory, believing that it is essential for translation practice. Moreover, they also considered that translation theory could provide solutions for issues in the practice of translation.

Abstract

The difference between a common translation and user interface localization for a technology product has raised big questions regarding the implementation of its translation strategy. This research attempts to answer this inquiry by analyzing the tendency of translation strategies used in the localization process for social media Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Youtube from English to Indonesian. The method used in this translation is qualitative descriptive, focusing on the text elements in the user interfaces from all three social media. The data were collected through a direct exploration of all three social media user interfaces in both English and Indonesian versions. The data from this research are in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences presented in each user interface. From the data analysis, it is concluded that the most dominant translation procedure in the localization process of all three social media is naturalization. Meanwhile, the method and ideology applied are semantic translation and foreignization. This finding provides insight into the importance of translation strategies in localization for social media applications and how this process affects Indonesian users' experience. The results of this research also provide that every localization process does not have to be dominated by a domestic translation strategy as the name suggests. In fact, most technology product localization is translated with a foreignization approach to maintain consistency across platforms.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the reliability of peer assessment as a form of alternative assessment and as a part of student-centered learning process. The data was taken from one of the ‘Writing 3’ classes in English Language and Culture Department, which consist of fifteen students. The students were taught how they should conduct peer assessment, what rules they should follow, and how they should utilize the provided scoring rubric before they assessed their peers’ writing assignments. The writer, as the lecturer of the class, also conducted her own assessment using the same scoring rubric. The results of peer and teacher/lecturer assessment were compared and calculated using SPSS in order to find out whether the results of peer assessment have significant difference with the results of teacher/lecturer assessment. The result shows that there is no significant differences between the results of teacher assessment and peer assessment. This means that peer assessment could be implemented as a form of alternative assessment in writing classes. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui reliabilitas dari penilaian sejawat (peer assessment) sebagai suatu bentuk dari penilaian alternatif dalam kegiatan mengajar dan sebagai bagian dari proses pembelajaran yang berpusat pada pelajar (student-centered learning). Data untuk penelitian ini diambil dari salah satu kelas ‘Writing 3’ dari program studi Bahasa dan Budaya Inggris yang terdiri atas 15 orang. Para mahasiswa diajarkan bagaimana mereka seharusnya melakukan penilaian sejawat, peraturan apa yang harus mereka patuhi, dan bagaimana mereka menggunakan rubrik penilaian yang telah disediakan sebelum mereka akhirnya menerapkan kegiatan penilaian sejawat dalam menilai tugas menulis teman-teman mereka. Penulis, yang juga merupakan dosen dari kelas tersebut, juga melakukan penilaian dengan menggunakan rubrik yang sama. Hasil penilaian dari penulis dan dari para mahasiswa dibandingkan dan dikalkulasi menggunakan SPSS untuk mengetahui apakah nilai yang dihasilkan dari penilaian sejawat dan penilaian guru memiliki perbedaan yang signifikan. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kedua bentuk penilaian. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penilaian sejawat dapat digunakan sebagai bentuk penilaian alternatif dalam kelas menulis.

Abstract

Kemampuan bercerita (storytelling) memiliki potensi untuk mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir kritis guna menciptakan dinamika belajar yang efektif melalui keterlibatan siswa yang aktif di kelas. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan siswa dalam menggunakan storytelling sebagai strategi pemasaran dalam konteks Business English. Kegiatan ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya pelatihan mengenai pemanfaatan storytelling dalam bidang pemasaran, khususnya di jenjang pendidikan menengah. Pelatihan ini dilaksanakan di SMA FONS VITAE 1 Jakarta dengan melibatkan 16 siswa dari English Club, yang berasal dari kelas X hingga XII. Metode pelatihan meliputi pemberian materi interaktif, studi kasus, diskusi kelompok, dan praktik membuat konten pemasaran berbasis storytelling. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa siswa mampu memahami konsep storytelling secara lebih aplikatif dan menyadari bahwa pendekatan naratif dalam pemasaran dapat memperkuat hubungan antara merek dan audiens, sekaligus mendorong loyalitas serta keterlibatan emosional konsumen. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah awal dalam menanamkan pemahaman strategi pemasaran modern berbasis bahasa Inggris di kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah.

Abstract

The Torajan language is the heritage language of the Torajan people, which reflects the local wisdom and identity of the people. Yet, with the popularity of Indonesian and English as the lingua franca, there is a concern for the domain, status, and vitality of the Torajan language within the society. Therefore, this study aims to study the visibility of the language. This study offers a novel approach by looking at the use of the Torajan language in the linguistic landscape in two regencies, Tana Toraja and Toraja Utara, to determine its position in the community. The research utilized a case study design, and the source of data is linguistic landscapes found along Jalan Poros RantepaoMakale which connects the two regencies. The images of linguistic landscapes were collected by viewing the Google Street View facility provided by Google Maps, and the languages in those linguistic landscapes were noted. The findings show that Indonesian and English dominate the linguistic landscape in Tana Toraja and Toraja Utara, and the Torajan language is minimally represented in the public space of these two regencies. The lack of visibility of the language in the public space might be caused by the restricted use of the language for familial talks at home and oral indigenous rituals. However, the Torajan language needs to be used more frequently in public spaces since it could promote a positive attitude of the people, which would in turn solidify the position of the language in the society.
