Abstract

This study aims to examine the types and frequency of students’ errors in using countable and uncountable nouns in descriptive text writing. The research was conducted at SMK IT Insan Kreatif Tanjung Morawa, focusing on first-grade students. The objectives of the study are: (1) to identify the types of grammatical errors made by students in applying countable and uncountable nouns, and (2) to determine the most dominant type of error. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method, and the participants consisted of 28 students from class X-A. The data were obtained from students’ written descriptive texts, which were then analyzed based on the Surface Strategy Taxonomy by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982). The analysis revealed that four main types of errors occurred: omission (41.46%), misordering (24.39%), addition (21.95%), and misformation (12.19%). Among these, omission errors were the most dominant. These errors occurred due to several factors, including a lack of understanding of noun classification rules, limited vocabulary, and insufficient exposure to correct usage in context. Additionally, many students confused uncountable nouns with plural countable nouns, resulting in inappropriate use of determiners and verb forms. The findings of this study suggest that English teachers need to emphasize targeted instruction on countable and uncountable nouns, integrate corrective feedback, and provide contextualized practice to help students internalize correct grammatical structures. This research also contributes to the broader field of English language teaching by offering insights into common learner difficulties in grammar, which can be addressed through enhanced pedagogical strategies

Abstract

This research investigates the complex interplay between traditional oral literature and digital linguistics. Specifically, it analyzes the translation techniques applied to Umpasa and Umpama the ritualistic proverbs and poetry of the Batak Toba culture translated into English within the socio-cultural context of traditional wedding ceremonies. The study aims to describe the representation of cultural meanings and evaluate the maintenance or shift of traditional values when processed through the Large Language Model, Gemini AI. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, a corpus of 48 units of oral literature was meticulously collected through field observations in Samosir Regency and further validated by Raja Parhata to ensure cultural authenticity. The findings reveal 63 occurrences of specific translation techniques, with Established Equivalence emerging as the most dominant method (16 findings). This indicates a strategic priority toward functional clarity for a global audience. The analysis concludes that while a linguistic shift from esoteric, metaphorical language to explicit meanings is inevitable, the core philosophical pillars of Batak life Hagabeon, Hamoraon, and Hasangapon remain successfully preserved in the digital translation process.

Abstract

This study looks into how well flowcharts might help students write proposals. Students frequently struggle with structuring ideas, maintaining coherence, and adhering to methodical processes when drafting proposals. Flowcharts were used as a visual planning tool to help students navigate the stages of proposal development, including problem identification, objectives, technique, and anticipated results, in order to solve these problems. The study used a pre-test and post-test approach with students who were taught through activities based on flowcharts. Organization, clarity, and overall writing quality increases were measured by analyzing data gathered through writing exams. The results show that using flowcharts greatly improved students' capacity for idea generation, logical proposal structure, and cohesive information presentation. The study advises including flowcharts into writing training after concluding that they are an excellent teaching method for enhancing students' proposal writing abilities

Abstract

Character development in kindergarten children is crucially determined by an appropriate and effective learning system. An appropriate and effective learning system is a learning approach tailored to their development. In this context, this activity was implemented through Community Service (PkM) at the HKBP Tarutung Kindergarten, using the interactive Bible story method as a means of instilling Christian values. This method was chosen because it actively engages children through fun and communicative activities. The activity encompasses planning, implementation, and evaluation, conducted through observation and direct interaction with the HKBP Kindergarten children.The results of the PkM activity indicate that the approach implemented was able to encourage and develop children's understanding of Christian values, particularly those encompassing love, honesty, obedience, and responsibility, becoming clearer and more nuanced. Furthermore, there was an increase in children's participation, discipline, and social skills during the learning activities. This demonstrates that the interactive Bible story method is effective in supporting the gradual character development of kindergarten children.

Abstract

This author aims to analyze the figurative translation techniques applied by students in translating figurative expressions from Indonesian to English in the novel Gadis Kretek. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method to identify, classify, and describe the translation techniques used by the students. The data were obtained from the students’ translation works, focusing on various types of figurative language such as metaphor, simile, irony, hyperbole, metonymy, personification. The findings reveal that several translation techniques are dominantly used, including literal translation, equivalence, modulation, and adaptation. The results indicate that while literal translation is the most frequently applied technique, other strategies are also utilized depending on the contextual meaning of the figurative expressions. This study provides insights into how students manage the challenges of figurative language translation and contributes to the understanding of translation studies in an educational context.
