Abstract

The study investigates the accuracy of students’ translations of descriptive texts assisted by DeepL Translate and students’ perception toward the use of this translation tool in translation learning. The presence of machine translation tools in academic contexts has raised concerns regarding translation quality and students' overreliance on automated systems. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved 32 undergraduate students of English Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang. Data were collected through translation tasks consisting of three descriptive texts and a perception questionnaire. Students’ translation accuracy was measured using Nababan translation quality assessment model, while students' perceptions were examined across four aspects: attractiveness, relevance, perceived usefulness, and perceived motivation. The findings show that students achieved the highest translation accuracy in texts with explicit meanings and simple sentence structures (mean score 2.75), while accuracy declined in texts containing figurative language, abstract expressions, and longer sentence constructions (mean scores 2.48 and 2.44). The overall mean score of translation accuracy was 2.55, categorized as accurate. The questionnaire results reveal that students generally hold positive perceptions toward the use of DeepL Translate, with an overall mean score of 3.02, particularly regarding its relevance (3.20) and attractiveness (3.17). However, positive perceptions were not consistently aligned with high translation accuracy. These findings suggest that although DeepL Translate can support translation learning, students’ still need strong linguistic competence and post-editing skill to ensure accurate translation outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of English textbooks for economics in aligning with the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, which integrates technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge to enhance language learning. Descriptive qualitative was applied in this study. The analysis focused on four English textbooks: Career Path: Banking, Career Path: Business English, General English Material for Economic Students, and English for Islamic Banking. The evaluation revealed several limitations in these textbooks, such as inadequate alignment with economic content, lack of clear target audience and instructional objectives, insufficient technology integration, and minimal opportunities for interactive and dynamic learning experiences. These deficiencies were found to delay the development of essential language skills, including grammar, pronunciation, and communication, which are crucial for academic and professional success in the field of economics and banking. Furthermore, the analysis highlighted the absence of diverse activities that connect language skills with real-world applications, limiting the students' ability to effectively apply their knowledge in relevant scenarios. The textbooks also lacked comprehensive instructional support for listening and writing skills, critical thinking, and digital literacy, which are vital components of a modern, technology-enhanced learning environment. The study suggests that a more tailored approach, incorporating the TPACK framework, is necessary to address these gaps. By fostering interactive and immersive learning experiences, future textbooks can better meet the specific needs of economics students, promote active participation, and enhance both linguistic competence and digital literacy skills in preparation for global economic challenges.
