Abstract

This study aims to identify and examine the challenges students face when composing recount texts, focusing on the experiences of grade XI MIPA 2 students at WR. Supratman 2 School. A qualitative research approach was utilized, collecting data through interviews and written tests to gain a comprehensive understanding of the difficulties encountered by students. The analysis of the data revealed that grammar was the most significant area of struggle for the students. Many students exhibited difficulties with the proper use of tenses, sentence structure, and vocabulary, which impacted their ability to write coherent and accurate recount texts. Based on these findings, the study recommends that teachers place greater emphasis on teaching grammar in a more structured and gradual manner, ensuring that students have ample time to grasp the concepts fully. Teachers should consider adopting a slower pace and using diverse instructional strategies, such as interactive exercises and practical applications, to reinforce grammar rules and facilitate better understanding. Additionally, the study suggests that students engage in daily English practice, including writing, reading, and listening activities, to enhance their language skills over time. Regular practice can help students become more familiar with the language, improve their grammatical accuracy, and increase their confidence in using English both in and out of the classroom. By addressing these challenges through targeted teaching strategies and consistent practice, both teachers and students can work together to improve the overall quality of students' writing and their ability to effectively compose recount texts. The findings of this study highlight the importance of a focused approach to grammar instruction and encourage a more supportive learning environment for students developing their English language skills.

Abstract

Cultural adjustments are essential in the translation process, particularly when translating from Indonesian to English, due to the unique cultural nuances, customs, and expressions inherent in each language. Without careful consideration, these elements can easily be lost in translation. One major challenge is the cultural differences between Indonesian and English. Another challenge is the distinction between formal and informal language usage in both languages. To address these challenges, translators need a profound understanding of both the source and target languages and cultures. They must be well-versed in the cultural norms, customs, and expressions of both languages and adapt them appropriately in their translations. This study examines the translation techniques used to achieve cultural adjustments when translating Indonesian texts into English and how these adjustments are realized by the translator. A qualitative approach is employed, specifically descriptive research, aiming to provide a detailed description of existing translations. The data source for this research is the translation work of an English lecturer at the University Prima Indonesia. The translation techniques identified include adaptation, adoption uptake, common/established equivalence, discursive creation, compensation, and variation. The findings indicate that adoption uptake is the predominant technique used by the translator to achieve cultural adjustments from Indonesian to English.

Abstract

Since the launch of the “Bilingual Policy for all schools supported by Yayasan Pendidikan Katolik (YPK) Don Bosco KAM in 2030,” schools have debated its impact. Teachers of non-English subject express concern about adapting, while parents fear their children may struggle with bilingual instruction. This study investigates how students, teachers, parents, and staff at Private Senior High School of Santo Yoseph Medan perceive the Bilingual education policy decided by YPK Don Bosco KAM in 2030. The research explores key concerns: the necessity of the policy, its effect on local languages, feasibility by 2030, budget sufficiency, availability of qualified teachers, and whether non-English subject teachers can teach bilingually. A questionnaire with seven questions was distributed to 40 participants in Indonesian and later translated into English. Results show 60% believe bilingual education is essential, 10% disagree, 25% are uncertain, and 5% have no opinion. While over half support the policy, challenges remain, including limited funding, a shortage of trained bilingual teachers, and the need for more English classes and learning materials. Successful implementation requires the Don Bosco Catholic Education Foundation to increase funding and address these challenges to ensure smooth integration of bilingual education by 2030.
