Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of students in the English Education Program at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo and examines its implications for the development of the Translation course syllabus. Translation plays a critical role in education by bridging theoretical understanding and practical application, yet students often struggle with linguistic and cultural accuracy. Employing a mixed methods sequential explanatory design, the study was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved the quantitative analysis of students’ translation errors from the textbook Factfulness, focusing on morphological, syntactic, semantic, and cultural aspects. The second phase involved qualitative interviews to explore students’ translation strategies and cognitive processes. The findings revealed 285 translation errors, with semantic (121) and syntactic (78) errors being the most prevalent. Morphological (58) and cultural (28) errors were also significant, indicating challenges in structural adaptation and intercultural mediation. The qualitative data further highlighted students’ reliance on literal translation and limited metalinguistic awareness. These results underscore the need to reformulate the Translation course syllabus to emphasize dynamic equivalence, cultural competence, and contextual meaning. Recommendations include integrating process-based translation instruction, error analysis, and reflective translation practice to enhance pedagogical effectiveness.

Abstract

A multilingual urban area is a translation space that allows the exchange of ideas across languages and cultures. Yet, little research has examined how translation plays a role in shaping linguistic landscapes that depict coexisting languages in public spaces. This paper aims to examine the linguistic landscape of public signage from the viewpoint of translation. A total of 123 bilingual signage was collected from the linguistic landscape of Gorontalo City, an emerging tourism industry with an interesting multilingual setting in Eastern Indonesia. The data were analyzed using the translation category of multilingual writing developed by Reh (2004) and Edelman (2010) to provide an understanding of the translational practice evident in the signage. The analysis also looked at the direction of the translated signage, including official and non-official translation based on the linguistic landscape orientation (top-down and bottom-up), as well as translation to demonstrate collective identity. Translation practices, categorized into word-for-word (67 items), free (8 items), partial (11 items), and non-translation (37 items), demonstrate a growing trend toward linguistic diversity. The top-down approach is evident in official translations (50 items) by government entities, while non-official translations (73 items) dominate commercial spaces. Arabic, displayed alongside Indonesian and English, symbolizes religious identity in public signage. Overall, Gorontalos linguistic landscape reflects a shift to bilingualism, particularly with widespread English translations. Its linguistic landscape showcases a dynamic interplay of language, translation, and cultural identity in an evolving urban environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Storyline Approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction, with a focus on teacher practices and student responses at SMP Negeri 2 Gorontalo. It aims to explore how the Storyline Approach is operationalized in classroom instruction and to examine its impact on students’ writing development and perceptions. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with the English teacher, and document analysis of lesson plans, complemented by analysis of students’ writing scores from pre-tests and post-tests. The findings reveal that the teacher implemented the Storyline Approach systematically through clearly defined stages, including context creation, character and setting development, plot construction, language focus, and reflection, thereby creating a meaningful and contextualized learning environment that actively engaged students in the writing process. Quantitative evidence from students’ writing scores indicates consistent improvement across multiple themes, particularly in grammar, text organization, content development, and coherence. In addition, students demonstrated positive responses toward storyline-based instruction, reflected in increased motivation, participation, and confidence in writing. The study concludes that the Storyline Approach constitutes an effective and sustainable instructional strategy for enhancing EFL writing skills at the junior secondary school level and contributes to the growing body of research on contextual and student-centered approaches in EFL writing instruction in Indonesian educational settings.
