Abstract

Plagiarism remains a persistent issue among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, particularly when they rely on translation strategies to navigate academic writing. This study explores Malay EFL students’ understanding and practices of back-translation—a process of translating texts from English to Malay and back to English—which often leads to cross-language plagiarism. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, data were collected from 30 students at an Islamic university in Indonesia through written tasks, questionnaires, and online interviews. Content analysis, descriptive statistics, and thematic analysis were employed to analyse the data. Findings reveal that most students are unaware that back-translation constitutes plagiarism and lack sufficient knowledge of proper paraphrasing and citation practices when working with multilingual sources. Students frequently depend on translation tools such as Google Translate and Quillbot, which increases the risk of unintentional plagiarism. The study concludes that limited awareness of academic writing conventions in multilingual contexts contributes to cross-language plagiarism, highlighting the need for targeted instruction on translation ethics and academic integrity in Islamic higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation and supervision processes in the Islamic education environment. The role of supervisors is still considered negligible, especially in management and academic supervisions. There have been no serious efforts by the government to improve the supervisors’ performances. The recruitment process is also not unchanging in accordance with the standards set, even though work guidelines have been made. In the administrative aspects, they are more prominent than the aspects of services guidance of teachers’ professionalism. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach where a purposive sampling was used. The research informants included the head of the regional office of Ministry of Religious Affair in Pekanbaru, the head of the Islamic education department, the head of the supervisory team, the head and teachers of madrasah. Data collection techniques used interview, focus group discussion, and documentation. The data was analyzed by using Matthew and A. Michael Huberman’s model by reducing, presenting, and verifying the data. The study showed that the supervision process in Indonesia through three stage; the input stage where there was a lack of sources, and the process stage where supervision was carried out oriented to the instrument, and the output stage using an administrative approach. The study also found that the problems with supervision in Indonesia included lack of training at the input stage, lack of financial support at the process stage, and problems in the organizational structure at the output stage. It also found that the reconstruction of supervision in Indonesia carried out at the input and process stages was policy support, while at the output stage a restructuring was needed.
