Abstract

Translation is a product of the process called translating. In translating, a translator has to make sure the translation has the equivalent meaning to the source texts. There many theories on how to have a good translation; one of the theories is dynamic equivalence theory.  In this paper, the writers would like to discuss deeper about the use of dynamic equivalence theory in translating process where English as a source language and Bahasa Indonesia as the target language. The implementation of dynamic equivalence theory is discussed together with the examples and explanation about why dynamic equivalence is used and why some words are chosen in translation and not the other words.  It shows that when word-to-word translation cannot make sense the meaning of the target language dynamic equivalence theory offers flexibility for the translator to translate and to make sense the meaning of the translation.

Abstract

Since the future of the world is English, many countries now include English in their primary education curriculum, so language proficiency can be achieved more quickly and effectively. As two or more languages knowledge are competing linguistically in the brain, the early introduction to English means putting the other languages known by the Indonesian English language learners in a competition. On the other hand, despite its controversy, bilingualism and multilingualism, when achieved fully and proportionally, is cognitively and socially beneficial. This article reviews the potential effects of including English early in the Indonesian curriculum and the recommendation for the Indonesian’s future multilingual education and research. The discussion resulted in some important conclusions. Firstly, considering the Indonesian-English far typological distance, learning English requires some time and cognitive effort. For Indonesian bilinguals/multilingual, this means early introduction to English means higher confidence in producing the language verbally later on. During this early learning of English, the Indonesian language (and any other ethnic language that forms the speaker’s identity should also be used simultaneously to create the same purpose; a sense of belonging towards and confidence in using the language(s). In short, multilingualism that includes foreign language instruction; national and minority language use and maintainance,  should be enhanced and normalised from childhood.
