Abstract

This study examines global research trends, thematic development, and prospective directions of the role-play method in English Language Teaching (ELT) from 2000 to 2025 via an extensive bibliometric analysis. 81 Scopus-indexed publications were methodically chosen based on established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis, conducted using VOSviewer and Bibliometrics (Biblioshiny), indicated substantial post-pandemic growth in publications, propelled by incorporating digital assessment, task-based learning, and online communicative methodologies. The results indicate a thematic shift in role-play from an auxiliary technique to a fundamental educational strategy associated with 21st-century skills. Furthermore, international collaboration networks and theme clusters underscore the method’s versatility across educational and cultural settings. This study presents theoretical, methodological, and practical contributions, offering significant insights for researchers, educators, and policymakers in the dynamic English Language Teaching (ELT) field.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perspectives of English majors on the difficulties they face in translation using the bibliometric analysis method. This method allows for a quantitative evaluation of academic publications to provide a holistic view of selected research topics over a period of time. Data was collected from the Scopus database, and search results were processed using VOSViewer to generate data visualizations. The analysis results show significant fluctuations in the number of publications related to translation difficulties in recent years, reflecting the ever-changing academic interest in this field. The most frequently discussed topics include translation errors, translation strategies, cultural influences in translation, and the use of technology in translation. Students identified several major difficulties in translation, including linguistic and structural differences between the source and target languages, as well as understanding cultural contexts, which are major obstacles, especially in translating idioms and cultural expressions. Additionally, the lack of knowledge about effective translation techniques is also a significant barrier. This study suggests the need for improvements in the translation education curriculum, the development of more advanced translation tools, and international collaboration between higher education institutions to address translation difficulties. The findings of this study provide a solid foundation for improvements in translation education and the development of more effective strategies to help students overcome translation challenges.

Abstract

Background: The teaching staff is not only responsible for the process of knowledge transactions but more than that, the teaching staff, in this case, lecturers, are also required to make assessment and measurement instruments to find out the extent to which students are able and able to master the English material in an evaluation process or rather a test. Purpose: To find out how the validity analysis of learning outcome tests made by English lecturers at the IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo Language Development Center Method: This research is evaluative research that evaluates question items using a quantitative approach. Results and Discussion: IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo lecturers tend to make learning outcome test questions in objective form based on practical courses' characteristics. With accurate tests, developing questions that can reveal students' applicative abilities, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation is more accessible than objective tests. In designing learning outcome test questions, not all lecturers (around 76%) make a grid of questions used as a reference for writing question items. Even though the grid is essential in writing good questions, in addition to writing questions, most lecturers use a combination of last year's questions and new ones. Making further questions related to the development of science and technology will be more meaningful. Conclusions and Implications: Not all lecturers of English courses at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo have conducted a theoretical review regarding the quality of the questions that have been asked. However, one thing that is quite good and positive in the review that has been carried out by most lecturers, namely the most re-examined aspect, is the suitability of the question material with the competence of learning outcomes. There are still some weaknesses in several question sets, namely for objective tests. The aspect that is still weak is the non-uniformity of the short length of statements between answer choices and the separation of the main question page from the answer page. Another drawback to this form of the test is that there are still pictures accompanying the questions that are not clear.
