Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of students in the English Education Program at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo and examines its implications for the development of the Translation course syllabus. Translation plays a critical role in education by bridging theoretical understanding and practical application, yet students often struggle with linguistic and cultural accuracy. Employing a mixed methods sequential explanatory design, the study was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved the quantitative analysis of students’ translation errors from the textbook Factfulness, focusing on morphological, syntactic, semantic, and cultural aspects. The second phase involved qualitative interviews to explore students’ translation strategies and cognitive processes. The findings revealed 285 translation errors, with semantic (121) and syntactic (78) errors being the most prevalent. Morphological (58) and cultural (28) errors were also significant, indicating challenges in structural adaptation and intercultural mediation. The qualitative data further highlighted students’ reliance on literal translation and limited metalinguistic awareness. These results underscore the need to reformulate the Translation course syllabus to emphasize dynamic equivalence, cultural competence, and contextual meaning. Recommendations include integrating process-based translation instruction, error analysis, and reflective translation practice to enhance pedagogical effectiveness.

Abstract

This research was conducted based on the problem, namely second semester students in the English Education Program FSB UNG face the problem of lack of knowledge in composing narrative texts, especially strategies for getting ideas and organizing them into paragraphs. This condition makes most students reluctant to learn to write. There are complicated rules in writing that cannot be ignored, when students write something, they must pay more attention to spelling, punctuation, diction, grammar, the purpose of their writing, and their own writing ideas. In addition, they are confused about how to start writing ideas into a good narrative text. This study collected qualitative data using observation techniques, narrative writing tests, and interviews. The results are; first, students have difficulty organizing ideas in narrative writing. Second; lack of vocabulary, which makes students write sentences that are less communicative. Finally; students are confused about the correctness of the grammar they compose. Based on the results of the analysis, the researcher concluded that there are three reasons that cause students to have difficulty in starting to write. First, organizing ideas, when students are able to express what they want to write but have difficulty putting it into written form. Second, a lack of vocabulary leads students to write less communicative sentences. Finally, due to a lack of grammatical accuracy, students are confused about their writing. Previous research has found similar student difficulties with vocabulary, grammar, and linguistics, including research by Marzona et al. (2019), Nandha et al. (2022), and Fadilah et al. (2024). All of these issues make it difficult for students to begin writing.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Storyline Approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing instruction, with a focus on teacher practices and student responses at SMP Negeri 2 Gorontalo. It aims to explore how the Storyline Approach is operationalized in classroom instruction and to examine its impact on students’ writing development and perceptions. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with the English teacher, and document analysis of lesson plans, complemented by analysis of students’ writing scores from pre-tests and post-tests. The findings reveal that the teacher implemented the Storyline Approach systematically through clearly defined stages, including context creation, character and setting development, plot construction, language focus, and reflection, thereby creating a meaningful and contextualized learning environment that actively engaged students in the writing process. Quantitative evidence from students’ writing scores indicates consistent improvement across multiple themes, particularly in grammar, text organization, content development, and coherence. In addition, students demonstrated positive responses toward storyline-based instruction, reflected in increased motivation, participation, and confidence in writing. The study concludes that the Storyline Approach constitutes an effective and sustainable instructional strategy for enhancing EFL writing skills at the junior secondary school level and contributes to the growing body of research on contextual and student-centered approaches in EFL writing instruction in Indonesian educational settings.
