Abstract

Speed, cost, and quality have been the central issues in the translation industry. While computers can offer fast and economical translation, their ability to produce accurate translation at a publishable level like human translators may do is still questionable. In the present study, the author linguistically evaluated the accuracy of English to Indonesian translation generated by Google Translate. Freely accessible English texts of various types were chosen to heuristically exemplify the units of analysis. The results of analysis lead to the conclusion that although Google’s Neural Machine Translation system is quite an improvement to the conventional phrase-based translation system, highly accurate translation does not seem to be achieved by Google Translate in the near future.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the ability of English teachers in analyzing students’ learning needs for planning cross-curricular project-based learning. The program was carried out through observation, workshops, practice, mentoring, and evaluation stages. Teachers were trained in developing instruments for learning needs analysis and designing project-based lesson plans. The implementation showed that teachers gained a better understanding of student needs and improved their ability to design contextual, interactive, and collaborative learning activities. Furthermore, the training strengthened teachers’ confidence in applying project-based learning aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum. The outcomes indicated that continuous training and institutional support are essential to sustain teacher professional development and to improve the quality of English language teaching in schools.

Abstract

This community service program was carried out at SMAN 11 Garut with the aim of enhancing students’ speaking skills through the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) using the “Speaking with Stimuler” approach. The activity was conducted in two stages, namely the delivery of materials by the service team and a hands-on practice session facilitated by the students. The results show that the integration of AI in speaking practice contributes to improving students’ language abilities, fostering more interactive learning experiences, and reducing repetitive burdens in the teaching process. Despite several challenges such as the need for continuous training and readiness of supporting infrastructure, the program proved effective in increasing students’ enthusiasm and competence. This activity highlights the potential of AI-based learning models as an innovative method to strengthen speaking skills in the context of secondary education.

Abstract

The rapid shift in English Language Teaching (ELT) from traditional print-based materials to digital and AI-based environments requires a comprehensive evaluation of teacher readiness. This study investigates ELT teachers' readiness for post-print pedagogy in four constructs: knowledge and skills, affective/beliefs, context, and behavior, and explores the influence of demographic variables. Using a quantitative, descriptive, and comparative design, 228 active English teachers in Indonesia participated via an online questionnaire. The findings reveal a "Digital Paradox" in which teachers have high cognitive and affective readiness, but show a much lower level of behavioral implementation (mean = 51.3), thus being categorized as "Low-Moderate Readiness" in actual practice. Demographic analysis using One-way ANOVA showed no significant differences in readiness by age, location, or school level (p > 0.05), indicating that challenges in the post-print era are experienced universally across teaching contexts. However, the Kruskal-Wallis test identified significant differences in teaching experience (p < 0.05), with mid-level teachers (8–15 years of experience) showing the highest readiness compared to novice and senior teachers. These results suggest that high theoretical knowledge does not automatically translate into classroom practice due to uneven institutional support and heavy curriculum demands. Therefore, policy interventions must move beyond merely theoretical digital literacy training to provide equitable technological infrastructure and ongoing pedagogical support to bridge the gap between teachers' potential and classroom realities.

Abstract

This study focuses on the teachers’ strategies in teaching reading comprehension. The objective of the research is to find out teachers’ strategies in teaching reading comprehension. To reach this objective, this study used qualitative method and case study design for investigating and analyzing the natural situation focused on teachers’ strategies. To collect the data, this study used participants who involved in this study were three teachers in one of senior high schools in Garut. The result showed that the teachers used different strategies in teaching reading comprehension. The strategies are memorizing, question and answer relationship, silent reading, game, discussion, and reading aloud. Hopefully, this study may portray a clear explanation for readers about teacher’s strategies in teaching reading comprehension.
