After the assignment project, they were asked to respond the questionnaire related to the process of translating the poem and problems encountered. The finding revealed that most of students admitted that their biggest problem in poetry translation is associated with the linguistic difference. It refers to grammatical differences (source language and target language), lexical choices and meaning ambiguity. There were many factors behind the problems that encounter students in translating the English poem into Indonesian. Factors related to the culture, the use of figurative language, and the different structure between original poem and the target language are considered as main hindrances in translating literary works. The educational implication of the study is that our students need to be familiarized with literary works and its process of translation. However, since this study was only held in 2 months and had limited participants, the result of the study cannot be generalized.

Abstract

Writing and grammar become students' difficulties in learning English. The purpose of this article is to identify the types of grammatical errors that students make. The methodology is descriptive-qualitative. This research is based on descriptive text written by class VII students of SMP Negeri 6 Semarang as a data source. Information was analyzed using Dulay's (1982) error theory and a taxonomy of surface strategies. The results show that the most common type of grammatical error is omission, accounting for 56 errors and about 57% of all errors. Thus, there are 20% addition errors, 14% information errors, and 9% misordering errors. The reason why omission is higher and misordering is most rarely found is because in omission, students are less thorough in using punctuation, articles, prepositions, capital letters, and the simple present tense. Furthermore, misordering was found to be very rare because students misplaced grammar, such as when using word-to-word translation from Indonesian to English.

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the illocutionary acts present in Retno Marsudi’s speech during the general debate of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This study aims to describe the types of illocutionary acts employed, discerning the most and least frequent types as well as their implications. The data were analyzed by the descriptive qualitative method, and collected by finding out the video, watching the video, transcribing the speech video, and then identifying the data that were related to the theory. The writers used Searle’s theory for the types of illocutionary acts, which categorizes illocutionary acts into five types: representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The findings from the study revealed that there are a total of 87 data points found in the speech, with directive acts being the most dominant with a total of 37 (42,5%), followed by representative at 27 (31%), commissive at 13 (15%), declarative at 6 (6,9%), and expressive being the least dominant at 4 (4,6%). The findings indicate that directive acts are primarily used to convey urgent messages and prompt action, while expressive acts are the least dominant, reflecting Retno Marsudi’s emphasis on advocating for action rather than expressing personal emotions or attitudes.
