Abstract

Translating a children's picture book is a challenging process. The focus of translating children's picture books is not only to transfer the meaning into the target language but also to guide the children to quickly understand the meaning of the sentences. Therefore, the translator must apply the appropriate sentence translation technique. This study aims to describe translation techniques used in translating Indonesian children's picture books into English. The data of this study are sentences taken from the Indonesian picture book "The Sacred Crocodile." The researchers used purposive sampling and a comparative method to analyze the data. The finding shows that translators use five translation techniques by Vinay and Darbelnet (1995) in translating sentences: literal translation, modulation, transposition, and equivalence. The literal translation is the most frequently used translation technique, followed by transposition. The literal translation is a technique by which the translator translates expressions word-for-word from SL into TL. The dominant use of literal translation indicates that the translator tried to make the sentences easily understood by children. For further study, the researcher may consider the psychological aspects and characteristics of the children in order to motivate the children to read an English story book.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the implementation and perceptions of the Kurikulum Merdeka by English teachers and also to find the English teachers’ problems in implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka. This research belonged to a qualitative study conducted by using interview and observation to collect data. The research participants were three English teachers at three Muhammadiyah Junior High Schools in Yogyakarta who had implemented the Kurikulum Merdeka. Interview guidelines, observation checklist, and observation field note were used as research instruments. This research used coding technique to analyze data. The research findings showed that the English teachers implemented the Kurikulum Merdeka by varying the learning process, adapting to the students’ characters, requiring more preparations, focusing the learning on vocabulary mastery, reading literacy, and the use of technology. In other words, the Kurikulum Merdeka has not been successfully implemented. Then, the teachers’ perceptions on the Kurikulum Merdeka were actually good but still confusing; the learning resources of Kurikulum Merdeka for teachers were diverse; the Kurikulum Merdeka demanded the development of better education and more differentiated learning; and the schools needed to change the learning activity budget and did a longer assessment analysis. Lastly, the problems in the Kurikulum Merdeka faced by English teachers were the lack of teachers’ understanding on the diverse students’ characters, the lack of equipment that supported learning English in the Kurikulum Merdeka, the need for a change in the mindset of parents about implementing the Kurikulum Merdeka, and the lack of understanding of the Kurikulum Merdeka.

Abstract

Translation is the replacement of text in one language (SL) with equivalent text in another language (TL). Shifts are unavoidable throughout the translation process because many words and phrases move due to the various linguistic systems of the source and target languages. This study aims to examine the different forms of translation shifts and the most prevalent shift observed in English to Indonesian Song Lyric Titled Fix You by Coldplay at the noun phrase level. The research approach is classified as content analysis. The results of this study reveal that seventeen translation shifts occur in the translation of the song lyrics. According to the study's findings, the most common translation shift of a noun phrase in a song lyric is structure shift, followed by unit shift, level shift, and class shift. Meanwhile, the lyric does not mention the intra-system shift. This research is expected to provide insight into language training, particularly translating song lyrics, which can inform translation practices and contribute to the improvement of language skills.
