Abstract

Lack of engagement, weak critical thinking skills, disfluency, limited vocabulary, timidity, and a preference for individual learning often lead to inactive participation in English-speaking classes. This study investigated the qualitative impacts of the Modern Socratic Method (MSM) on Indonesian Polytechnic students’ active learning in an English-speaking course. Data were collected through complete participant observation and unstructured interviews, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Credibility and transferability procedures ensured trustworthiness. The study was conducted over two semesters at Padang State Polytechnic with 54 students from two classes. Before the intervention, Class A and Class B obtained mean speaking performance scores of 50 and 60, respectively, both categorized as low. After the MSM was implemented, the means increased substantially to 85 (Class A) and 88 (Class B). The improvement was linked to MSM’s emphasis on continuous questioning, interactive discussion, logical argumentation, risk-taking in expressing opinions, and peer collaboration. These activities enhanced students’ fluency, expanded their vocabulary, strengthened critical thinking, built self-confidence, and fostered collaborative learning. The findings suggest that MSM can reduce reliance on lecture-based instruction in polytechnic English classes and improve students’ self-efficacy in managing speaking anxiety. This method holds promise for broader application in higher education contexts where active participation is essential.

Abstract

This research presents an analysis of challenges and strategies in translating journalistic content, which demands accuracy, speed, and sensitivity to cultural context. Because of these characteristics, translating journalistic texts require different skills and approaches compared to other types of texts. Unlike translator-journalists who find journalistic texts as part of their daily work, freelance translators, who are generally more familiar with literary, legal, advertising and marketing, medical, and business texts often faces unique difficulties due to the concise and clear nature of journalistic writing. These challenges require careful attention to semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic elements to ensure that meaning is effectively conveyed to the target audience. The main objective of this study is to identify and analyze the specific challenges faced by freelance translator when translating journalistic content for the first time and to explore the strategies used to address them. The study also aims to provide insights that can contribute to a broader understanding of translation practices in a journalistic context. A single case study design is used by involving a single freelance translator with two years of experience in translating academic writings, literary works, and promotional texts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke (2006). The analysis revealed four key challenges: accuracy and readability, cultural nuance, bias and framing, and deadline pressures. To overcome these challenges, four main strategies are used: adaptation, localization, transcreation, and selective omission and addition. The findings reveal that freelance translators need a combination of linguistic skills, cultural sensitivity, and effective time management to produce credible, reliable, and accurate translations.
