Abstract

This paper focuses on the user perception of their experience in using the auto-translate feature on social media. A mixed-method is employed in this study to gain quantitative and qualitative results and provide a more in-depth understanding of the analysis, with an online questionnaire as the research instrument. In order to reach a broader audience, snowball sampling is used since there are no specific criteria for the subject target. The majority of the respondents are women with bachelor's degrees aged 17-28. There are three aspects of assessment on the questionnaire following Nababan’s theory: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. The findings showed that the result of the auto-translate feature on social media has good accuracy, moderate readability, and is very acceptable. Meanwhile, the shortcomings of this feature are lack of context understanding, mistranslation due to wrong diction, and grammar updates.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate and describe the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations of tertiary-level EFL students in Indonesia toward reading English. Researchers used quantitative design in conducting this study. There were 77 students from English department at Universitas Brawijaya who voluntarily participate in this study, selected through convenience sampling. The quantitative method was applied by asking students to fill out a questionnaire adapted from Wigfield and Guthrie's Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) (1997). Besides that, students’ self-assessment reading report used to measure students’ reading proficiency. In addition, The correlation between students' motivation to read and their reading proficiency was also investigated in this study. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS program with descriptive statistics to answer research question 1 and Pearson correlation analysis to answer research question 2. The results indicated that students are relative highly extrinsic motivated in reading English. Meanwhile, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were found to have a significant correlation with students reading. In addition, it was also found that intrinsic motivation has the strongest correlation, and extrinsic motivation displayed lower correlation with reading proficiency. Based on these findings, lecturers are expected to increase students' intrinsic motivation to read.
