Abstract

This study is about translation strategies for translating English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The strategies applied refer to Vinay and Dalbenet Theory, which consists of Direct (Borrowing, Calque, Literal, and Transposition) and Oblique methods (Modulation, Equivalent, and Adaptation). This study aims to determine the strategies students apply when translating ESP texts and how the students' educational backgrounds impact this process. Descriptive qualitative was applied as the methodology using tests and interviews to collect the data. The result showed that 6 of 7 translation strategies are implemented by translators. To implement direct translation, it has applied all strategies: borrowing, calque, literal translation, and transposition strategies. Thus, oblique strategies are used in equivalent and adaptation strategies, but modulation strategies did not exist from the target language. The next issue is that the background significantly influences the accuracy of word choice in the target language. Some translators acknowledge needing help translating vocabulary that seems more common than some terminology they frequently encounter when taking the classes.

Abstract

This study investigates the capabilities of neural machine translation (NMT) tools, Google Translate and DeepL, in translating culturally rich texts, with a focus on the Putri Hijau legend. Using Newmark’s Semantic Translation Theory, the research evaluates the translation of idiomatic expressions, metaphors, and culturally embedded terms to determine the semantic fidelity and cultural appropriateness of each tool. The findings reveal that DeepL outperforms Google Translate in preserving contextual and pragmatic nuances, particularly in idiomatic expressions and culturally specific terms, aligning more closely with semantic translation principles. However, both tools face significant challenges in translating metaphors, often resorting to literal interpretations that fail to capture the symbolic and poetic elements of the original text. The study highlights the limitations of current NMT tools in rendering complex cultural and figurative content accurately and underscores the importance of cultural understanding in translation. While DeepL demonstrates greater effectiveness, the research concludes that NMT tools should be used as supplementary aids rather than standalone solutions for culturally significant texts. Recommendations include further refinement of AI models to enhance their ability to handle figurative language and cultural nuances. These findings provide valuable insights for improving NMT technology and its application in translating culturally sensitive materials.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of emotional speech acts in Colleen Hoover's It Ends with Us, focusing on how characters navigate relational conflicts using expressive and commissive speech acts. Using a pragmatic framework based on Searle's speech act theory and Baxter and Montgomery's Relational Dialectics Theory, the research examines chapters 23-35 of the novel, which are rich in emotional and relational dialogue. A qualitative method of dialogue transcription and coding reveals 144 speech acts, with expressive acts accounting for 76% and reflecting emotions such as guilt, love, and regret. Commissive acts, which account for 24%, emphasize promises and commitments that influence relational dynamics. The findings emphasize the significance of language in expressing emotions and resolving interpersonal conflicts. Expressive acts frequently reveal characters' vulnerabilities, whereas commissive acts emphasize their intentions to mend relationships or make future commitments. This interaction demonstrates the complexities of emotional communication, particularly in the context of trauma and recovery. This study adds to pragmatic research by demonstrating how emotional speech acts shape interpersonal dynamics in literary texts, revealing how language mirrors real-life emotional communication. By focusing on It Ends with Us, this study bridges the gap between literary analysis and linguistic pragmatics, providing a more nuanced understanding of how emotional and relational tensions are managed through language. The findings emphasize language's transformative power in navigating love, betrayal, and resilience, which is consistent with broader discussions about emotional communication in various contexts.

Abstract

The Cornell note-taking method is a method of note-taking that helps students organize important information from a text systematically to support reading comprehension. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the Cornell note-taking method on students' reading comprehension skills before and after instruction using this Note-taking method. This study employed a quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 62 eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 12 Bandar Lampung, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and subsequently analyzed using statistical procedures. The results revealed a significant difference between the two groups. The experimental class, which applied the Cornell note-taking method, scored an average of 55.32 on the pre-test and increased to 76.61 on the post-test, showing an increase of 21.29 points. Meanwhile, the control class, which did not receive the same treatment, showed a modest improvement from 57.90 to 63.55, an increase of 5.65 points. based on the scores obtained, the Cornell note-taking method showed a positive influence on students' reading comprehension. Therefore, this method can be considered a useful method to support reading instruction, especially for explanation texts at the high school level.

Abstract

This community service program was motivated by the need to provide English language learning that is inclusive, enjoyable, and aligned with the characteristics of elderly learners. The program aimed to strengthen the English speaking skills of elderly participants through a fun learning approach at Sekolah Lansia Cahaya Kartini. It was conducted on February 19, 2026, by a team of lecturers from the English Education Study Program, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, UIN Raden Intan Lampung. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) design comprising four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The learning materials focused on basic communication skills, including greetings, self-introduction, simple vocabulary, pronunciation, and daily conversations. The fun learning strategy was implemented through ice-breaking activities, language games, singing, role play, vocabulary drilling, and paired or group dialogue practice. Data were collected through participant activity observation, satisfaction questionnaires, field notes, and activity documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques and simple quantitative analysis based on percentages. The results indicated that the fun learning approach fostered greater enthusiasm, participation, speaking confidence, and self-assurance among participants in using simple English expressions. The satisfaction questionnaire revealed positive responses across several aspects: easy-to-understand materials (90%), an enjoyable learning atmosphere (95%), engaging activities (93%), communicative and interactive facilitators (96%), increased self-confidence (88%), and perceived usefulness of the program (97%). Therefore, fun learning can be regarded as a relevant approach for strengthening English speaking skills among elderly learners in non-formal education settings, as it meaningfully integrates language learning, emotional support, and social interaction.

This approach can enhance students' competence and foster their enthusiasm for the subject. The research aims to ascertain the English material requirements of seventh-grade students at SMPN 4 Bandar Lampung and create a comprehensive English curriculum for this grade level at the abovementioned school. The ADDIE model was utilized to achieve the stated objectives. The need analysis was carried out before the creation of the material. Based on the expert judgment of the material, it has been determined that the average score (X) is 3.6. The score is classified as good due to its placement within the 3.5 < X < 3.75 interval. However, there are two aspects that experts believe require further improvement. These aspects include enhancing the accessibility of the module's materials for students to comprehend and ensuring that the illustrations align with the content presented in the module. To enhance the comprehensibility of the module's content for students, the expert recommended providing more explicit instructions for each step of the activities students must undertake.Regarding the illustrations provided per the module's content, experts have recommended incorporating additional illustrations to enhance the module's level of engagement. Based on the expert judgment and evaluation of the presentation, it has been determined that the average score (X) is 3.75. Based on the obtained score, the categorization can be deemed satisfactory, as the value of X falls within the interval of 3.5 < X < 3.75. The expert has recommended an enhancement of the references or supporting materials. The expert recommended incorporating additional references to enhance the comprehensiveness of the module. Based on the expert judgment of the material, it has been determined that the average score (X) is 3.75. Based on the obtained score, it can be classified as satisfactory, as the X value falls within the 3.5 < X < 3.75 range. The expert recommended one aspect for improvement, specifically regarding the alignment of language usage with the student's cognitive development stage. The expert posited that certain languages may present a level of complexity that surpasses students' cognitive abilities. Consequently, it is recommended that these languages be modified or adapted to better align with the student's learning capacities.

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of students dealing with verbal expressiveness and speaking difficulty. It looks examines how the Cubing Technique affects the speaking abilities of eleventh-grade students in a senior high school. A total of 69 students from various classes were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The experimental group was taught the Cubing Technique, while the control group was taught by the technique that is usually used by the teacher, the Mind Mapping Technique. Pre- and post-tests used a quantitative research method and a quasi-experimental design to assess five criteria: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The Cubing Technique had a substantial influence (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.001) on students' speaking abilities in the first semester of eleventh grade, according to an independent t-test done in SPSS 16. This study adds to our understanding of effective language teaching approaches, specifically the positive impact of the Cubing Technique in a senior high school in Purbolinggo in the 2023/2024 academic year.
