Abstract

The development of digital technology today has a major impact on various aspects of human life. In bridging intercultural communication, translation has a significant role that cannot be separated from the help of technology. Technology also has brought changes in the way translation is done, including helping individual translators to increase efficiency. For example, with the help of machine translation, Google Translate continues to develop transformers and AI. On the other hand, ChatGPT, built on artificial intelligence, allows translation. Both adopt NLP. This study aims to determine the quality of the translation of both based on the TQA proposed by House. In addition, it assesses the level of similarity of the translation results and errors that occur based on the translation technique used. Translation samples were selected based on purposive sampling techniques, namely from a report chapter available on the internet in English. The samples were translated into Indonesian using Google Translate (GT) and ChatGPT (CG) and then analyzed using TQA. The results show that GT and CG have high similarities and insignificant error rates. This is possible because GT and CG continue to be developed over time to respond to and translate languages that are increasingly natural and resemble human language.

Abstract

This study investigates translation errors found in 100 undergraduate thesis abstracts sourced from five Indonesian universities, with particular attention to syntactic, semantic, and miscellaneous error types. The data were collected from institutional online repositories, and all identifying information related to the authors was removed to ensure anonymity. Only the main bodies of the abstracts were used as the corpus for analysis. The findings reveal that the majority of errors fall under the syntactic category, including incorrect use of tenses, prepositions, and punctuation. Semantic errors, such as literal translations, meaning deviations, and unnecessary additions, were also frequently observed. These errors largely stem from students’ limited understanding of English grammar and translation strategies. The study highlights the importance of strengthening translation competence in undergraduate curricula. By systematically identifying and analyzing these common errors, the research provides valuable insights for improving the teaching of academic translation and suggests the integration of targeted translation materials in English language instruction at the tertiary level.

Abstract

This study presents a systematic literature review focusing on learning models, strategies, and the design of digital teaching materials in the context of education in the digital era. Drawing from 38 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2023, the research explores how digital technology has transformed pedagogical practices. The analysis reveals a strong emphasis on student-centered learning models, where students actively construct knowledge and develop problem-solving skills, rather than passively receiving information. Learning strategies such as problem-based, project-based, and research-based learning are widely promoted to foster critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. A key finding is the increasing adoption of blended learning, which combines face-to-face instruction with online platforms, thereby supporting more flexible and interactive educational experiences. However, the success of these strategies heavily depends on educators’ digital literacy, especially their competence in integrating technology with pedagogy and content. The design of digital teaching materials must also be aligned with learning objectives and students' needs. Effective materials incorporate diverse formats, such as infographics, videos, podcasts, and virtual labs, and are grounded in principles of relevance, consistency, and adequacy. The study concludes that digital pedagogy is becoming more widely implemented in Indonesia’s educational landscape. To ensure its effectiveness, educators must be equipped with adequate ICT skills, supported by proper infrastructure, and encouraged to collaborate with students for continuous improvement. With the right approach, digital technology can enhance educational outcomes, promote lifelong learning, and respond to the evolving needs of students in a technology-driven society

Abstract

The development of automatic translation (machine translation/MT) technologies, such as Google Translate and DeepL, as well as applications based on generative artificial intelligence (AI), has brought significant changes to translation practice. While TM facilitates access to cross-language texts, it also presents new challenges in teaching translation. This article aims to examine the challenges and strategies for teaching translation in the era of automation through a literature review. The method used is a literature review of journal articles, books, and conference proceedings published between 2015 and 2025 that are relevant to translation pedagogy, student perceptions, and the ethical implications of using TM. The review identifies seven key challenges: declining student motivation to learn manual translation, the changing role of lecturers to evaluators and post-editors, difficulties in assessing the authenticity of student work, issues of ethics and academic integrity, the need for curriculum adaptation, differences in the quality of TM across languages, and resistance to and over-reliance on TM. Strategies proposed include integrating post-editing into the curriculum, process-based assessment, ethical education in the use of TM, critical learning by comparing human and machine translation results, and translation training for low-resource languages. This article concludes that lecturers play a role not only as teachers of translation techniques but also as facilitators of digital literacy and academic ethics. Recommendations are provided for further empirical research to validate this strategy in the local context of higher education.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a system that is developed and continues to innovate in various fields with the aim of making human work easier. As the name suggests, artificial intelligence is made to resemble human intelligence and is applied in various fields. Currently Artificial Intelligence technology is also used in the field of education, including teaching foreign languages. This article, which is based on a short field study, aims to find out student references regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT) can be seen as both a benefit and a potential threat, depending on how it is used and implemented. On the one hand, AI technology has the potential to make language learning more efficient and effective, by providing personalized feedback and practice exercises tailored to the different student’s needs and learning styles. The research method used to determine this phenomenon is a qualitative descriptive research method with questionnaire data collection techniques by asking questions that can be answered directly by respondents according to their respective answers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to play an important role in helping students in various tasks in learning English, i.e finding out the the meaning and definition of words, translating sentences, improving grammar, etc with reliable and timely results. However, on the other hand, AI has an impact on student abilities. Students are increasingly dependent on AI assistance in learning, thereby reducing its role in critical thinking and using memory

Abstract

In daily communication, there are some people in the same tribes or even different tribes making interactions by using their majority own language, such as Karo language. With their different tribes or even the same tribes, it is possible for them to utilize code switching and code mixing. The method of writing this research is by observing in the field while the community doing communication, such as in the party, in coincidence talking, hence, it is called qualitative research. The analysis of this research is that the researcher found that now a days, the Karo people tend to use code switching and code mixing among them. On the basis of the observations, it is common or frequent for the people of Karo use these types of language. The conclusion is that the use of using code switching and code mixing cannot be avoided any more due to the development of economy, communication, and also the unawareness of the native speakers to their own language
