Abstract

The focus of this research is to demonstrate the influence of question-and-answer learning on students' reading interest in narrative texts. Is there an effect of question answer relationship strategy on students' reading skills in reading narrative texts? Class Vlll SMP Methodist 9 Medan is the problem in this research. This form of research is a quasi-experimental study that includes an experimental and a control group, as well as pre- and post-tests. The post-test results showed that 22 pupils (88 percent) received very high scores and 3 students (12 percent) received high scores. The experimental group's mean score was likewise raised. Prior to using the QAR technique, the mean was 67.04. The mean after learning using the QAR technique was 83.36. The median in the pre-test was 76, but after learning with the QAR approach, it was 82. Prior to treatment, the experimental group's standard deviation was 1.676. After learning by applying QAR strategy, the standard deviation in the experimental group was 2.084. Students are more engaged in reading after employing the question-and-answer learning paradigm to improve their interest. This demonstrates that the question-and-answer interaction strategy's learning effect has a significant impact on students' success in reading narrative texts

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates the translation performance of two prominent machine translation (MT) tools—DeepL and Google Translate—in the context of high school-level social texts in Indonesia. Five Indonesian texts covering topics such as environment, culture, education, and digital behavior were translated into English using both tools. The translations were assessed by human evaluators based on three key criteria: accuracy, fluency, and contextual appropriateness. The study also incorporates theoretical perspectives on neural machine translation and its role in education to frame the analysis. Findings indicate that DeepL consistently outperforms Google Translate, especially in fluency and contextual sensitivity, although both tools have strengths and limitations. This research contributes practical implications for language educators and students in using MT critically and effectively in learning environments.
