Abstract

A good translation product should be able to reflect the typical characteristics of the target language in terms of its function and structure. One of the structure features that can show that the target text (TT) is free from the influence of the structure of the source language (SL) is its theme structure. As there are both marked and unmarked themes, this would be considered as one of the options to characterize the TT structure. This is a research-based article aimed at finding out the extent of theme markedness in the student translators’ TTs. This research used content analysis design, taking 15 student translators as the participants. They were asked to translate two news item texts from English as the source text (ST) into Bahasa Indonesia as the TT. The data were collected using Translog. Based on the data analysis, it was found that: (i) simple unmarked theme (SUT) was the theme most frequently used in both the ST and the TTs; (ii) Indonesian news item texts were characterized by the frequent use of marked themes. This finding indicates that Indonesian news item text puts more emphasis on how the events presented in the text can be easily caught by the readers as SUT is characterized through the use of short clauses with low lexical density. This study concludes that English and Indonesian news item texts share a small number of similarities as most of their clauses are composed of simple marked themes (SMT) but the similarities are outweighed by a large number of differences.

Abstract

Speaking is the basic as well as the most important skill that needs to be acquired by English language learners. It is advisable that learning speaking English should begin as early as possible; however, to teach speaking skill to young learners is not an easy task since their age is the age of playing. Teaching speaking to young learners requires a teacher to find the technique best work with children, one of which is through games. One of the games that is corresponding to the age of young learners is a snake and ladder game. This paper aims at describing how a snake and ladder game is used in teaching speaking to young learners. Based on the discussion on applying a snake and ladder game, it is concluded that this game is the right game to apply in teaching speaking to young learners. People during early ages like playing and dislikes studying, especially in a formal education. By using this game, the children (learners) do not realize that they learn to speak English because they enjoy playing the game. In addition, this game supports the issue of student-centered learning because the students are the ones who actively practice speaking, while the teacher acts as the learning facilitator who provides assistance if needed.

Abstract

Palm oil is one of the most demanded commodities globally, which has led to a significant increase in its production and raised issues regarding its environmental impact. However, many of these issues are not based on substantial evidence. To provide a proportional picture on the oil palm industry, Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and the Association of Indonesian Palm Oil Entrepreneurs (GAPKI) have collaborated to carry out this program. The program was conducted for seven days through classroom lectures and field trip activities, involving 14 students and two supervisors from UTAS and four USU students. Pre and post-tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of the program.  The results showed changes in participants' knowledge and perception regarding the environmental, social, and economic effects of the oil palm industry. Therefore, this program could be considered an effective counter to misleading Indonesian palm oil industry issues.

The development of tourism will have an influence on the life of the local community, that is, it can affect various aspects of life, be it social, economic, cultural, religious, language and also the environment. The extent of the influence of tourism development on aspects of life can be studied independently. In addition, tourism also plays a major role in expanding employment opportunities, encouraging activities of supporting industries, introducing natural and cultural beauty that is inseparable from a sense of increasing brotherhood in the national and international environment. This is because tourism itself creates multiple economic impacts, namely direct, indirect, secondary impacts, which provide opportunities for business growth and the role of local communities in the tourism sector. This research will discuss about determining the shortest route of tourist attractions in Karo Regency. The result achieved is the optimization of travel routes on tourist objects in Karo district so that the Karo Regency tourism office can provide more information regarding the location of tourist objects that will be traversed by local and foreign tourists.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis pergeseran terjemahan subtitle film Aftershock dari bahasa Mandarin ke bahasa Indonesia. Metode penelitian ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Data berupa satuan lingual kata, frasa, klausa dalam bentuk narasi. Data dianalisis berdasarkan pergeseran terjemahan menurut Catford yakni category shift. Dari 40 data, terdapat unit shift sebanyak 16 data (40%), structure shift sebanyak 10 data (25%), class shift sebanyak 8 data (20%), dan intra system shift sebanyak 6 data (15%). Bentuk pergeseran terjemahan paling dominan pada film Aftrershock adalah unit shift dengan bentuk frasa ke kata yang disebut dengan down rank shift (40%). Pergeseran itu terjadi disebabkan karena pengaruh teknik dalam penerjemahan seperti pengurangan. Akibatnya, terjadi pergeseran peringkat dari bahasa sumber ke dalam bahasa sasaran. Penggunaan teknik pengurangan pada proses penerjemahan subtitle ini tidak mengubah makna bahasa sumber, justru dapat menjaga kealamiahan (naturalisasi) pada bahasa sasaran

Abstract

This study aimed to explore linguistic competence in academic text translation by professionals, focusing on their awareness, dominant linguistic competence and strategies, and the impact of Machine Translation (MT) and AI-driven software on their workflow. The research utilized the PACTE TC’s model (2003), which includes pragmatic, sociolinguistic, textual, grammatical, and lexical sub-competences. A qualitative research design by Creswell Creswell (2018) with a descriptive method was employed to delve deeply into the subjective experiences of professional translators.  The surveys were conducted via Google Form from March to April 2024. The results indicate that the respondents demonstrated high awareness of linguistic competence, particularly in pragmatic, sociolinguistic, textual, grammatical, and lexical aspects. Respondents identified linguistic challenges such as lexical, textual, and sociolinguistic issues. Strategies to overcome these challenges included using online resources, human checks, and continuous learning. The results also show varied attitudes towards MT and AI, with some translators embracing these tools for efficiency and others preferred manual methods. MT and AI were perceived to enhance translation quality, especially in grammar accuracy and efficiency. However, the study’s limitations highlight the need for future research on the effectiveness of different MT and AI tools, balancing technological assistance with human expertise, and the impact of training programs.

Abstract

This study evaluates the strengths and limitations of ChatGPT-generated translations in academic post-editing workflows. The research highlights ChatGPT's ability to enhance translation efficiency by producing grammatically precise and structurally sound drafts, enabling post-editors to focus on higher-level refinements like coherence and contextual accuracy. While the tool demonstrates significant advantages in improving workflow efficiency and adapting texts to academic conventions, it faces challenges in addressing cultural nuances and idiomatic expressions, particularly in underrepresented languages such as Indonesian. The study suggests potential improvements, including expanding training datasets and incorporating advanced contextual understanding features, to maximize ChatGPT's utility. Ultimately, the findings emphasize the importance of combining AI capabilities with human expertise to ensure high-quality and culturally sensitive academic translations. Future research should focus on refining AI tools to meet the diverse needs of global academic communication.
