Abstract

Pre-service teachers' ability to construct and conduct assessment has been a point of emphasis for decades, and rightfully so. It is crucial that they acquire the necessary knowledge and abilities in their language assessment course during their pre-service teacher education to effectively assess students in their future professional routines. The purpose of this research was to determine if and how pre-service English teachers' (PSETs) satisfaction with their language assessment course corresponded with their level of readiness. 51 out of 56 PSETs participated since they met the two requirements (passing the language assessment course and enrolling in TAP). The Fulcher (2012) language assessment literacy questionnaire was adapted and disseminated. The questions were organized into four categories for the purpose of analysis: overarching principles and concepts in linguistic assessment; designing language assessment; scoring test items and analyzing test results. Results demonstrated that LAL satisfaction was not congruent with assessment readiness. There was a "neutral" level of satisfaction among participants (51.5 percent), but they were nearly set to begin practicing assessment at their TAP (78.5 percent). Additionally included are statistics that are specific to each of the four categories found in the questionnaire.  In particular, the study suggests that training in evaluating open-response questions and analyzing test items warrants expansion. Additional research could fill in the gap between LAL satisfaction and the PSETs by examining the relationship between the two.

Abstract

This study aim to analyze the ability of grade XI students at SMAN 1 Masbagik in reading narrative text. It is descriptive qualitative design. The participants in this study were 19 students from class XI-F7. The data were collected using a reading test and a questionnaire. The data obtained from the reading test were analyzed and calculated to determine the final score and identify the most difficult aspects of reading. Meanwhile, the data from the questionnaire were analyzed by reducing the data, displaying, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate that out of 19 students, only three students scored in the very high category, six students scored high, three students scored medium, four students scored low, and three students scored very low. In addition, making inferences emerged as the most challenging reading aspect. Through an analysis of questionnaire responses, two prominent obstacles were identified: limited vocabulary knowledge and cognitive load. Many students faced difficulties in deciphering individual word meanings, thereby impeding their overall comprehension of texts. This study highlights the imperative for targeted strategies aimed at addressing these challenges to improve reading proficiency and academic achievement among students.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation problems, strategies, and the most frequently used strategy in translating Indonesian thesis abstracts into English. The subjects of this research comprised eight thesis abstracts written by non-English department students at the University of Mataram during the 2023 academic year. Utilizing Baker’s theory on translation problems and strategies, which encompasses eleven aspects, this study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. The findings reveal a total of 78 translation problems across the eight Indonesian thesis abstracts. Among Baker's identified problems, only eight were observed, including: culture-specific concepts (31 instances), source language concepts not lexicalized in the target language (4 instances), semantically complex source language words (14 instances), a lack of specific terms in the target language (1 instance), differences in expressive meaning (8 instances), differences in form (2 instances), differences in frequency and purpose of specific forms (6 instances), and the use of loan words in the source text (12 instances). To address these challenges, seven out of eight translation strategies from Baker’s theory were employed in the English thesis abstracts. The most utilized strategy was translation using loan words (35 instances, 45%), followed by translation using a more general word (12 instances, 16%), translation using a neutral word (10 instances, 13%), translation by omission (10 instances, 13%), translation by paraphrase using a related word (4 instances, 5%), and the least employed strategies were translation using cultural substitution (3 instances, 4%) and paraphrase using unrelated words (3 instances, 4%). Of the 78 translation problems identified, 77 were resolved using the seven strategies, while one problem remained unsolved due to an unacceptable translation. This thesis aims to serve as a valuable reference for translators, English department students, and researchers in the field of translation. The findings indicate a significant need for enhanced support and resources in the translation process for non-English department students at the University of Mataram.

Abstract

In the era of global competition, enhancing English language skills is critical, and project-based learning (PjBL) presents a potential model to improve student engagement and language competence. This qualitative case study, conducted at SMPN 1 Jonggat in Central Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat, examines English teachers' perceptions of PjBL, focusing on its effectiveness, challenges, and implementation strategies. Using a purposive sample of three English teachers who employ PjBL in their classrooms, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and close-ended questionnaires to capture detailed insights into teachers' attitudes and experiences with PjBL. Semi-structured interviews allowed for in-depth exploration of teachers' subjective experiences, while questionnaires provided structured data on specific aspects of PjBL’s implementation. Data were analyzed following Miles and Huberman's three-step process—data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification—to systematically interpret findings. This study contributes valuable insights for educators seeking to enhance English language teaching through PjBL, offering a framework for understanding both the benefits and challenges of PjBL from teachers’ perspectives in a secondary school context. Findings are expected to support improved teaching strategies and contribute to more effective English education practices.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate and develop the audiovisual translation (AVT) skills of English education undergraduate students at the University of Mataram. As the dissemination of information increasingly occurs through dynamic online media, mastering AVT techniques has become essential for future language professionals. The study will examine the quality of subtitle translations produced by students, as well as their ability to translate audio content into video captions - a new skill beyond traditional dubbing. By assessing current capabilities, the study seeks to reorient translation course curricula to better balance theoretical knowledge and practical application. Given the rapid technological advances in AVT, this study is critical in ensuring university programs adapt to emerging industry needs. The findings are expected to contribute to improving the quality of AVT education and enhancing the preparedness of English undergraduates to work as professional audiovisual translators. Ultimately, the study aims to empower the next generation of translators with the necessary skills to effectively convey information across multimedia platforms.
