The Translation as a Profession (TAP) course, offered in a translation study program at a state university in Sumatra, Indonesia, is designed to prepare its future graduates to become not only translation scholars but also professional translators and entrepreneurs in the translation field. Therefore, it requires a well-organized program and carefully selected learning materials. Previous studies regarding TAP course development have yet to explore how learning materials would prepare students to be professional translators. Thus, this study aims to explore further how the TAP materials help student translators become professional translators. This descriptive study used both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected using questionnaires and in-depth interviews with eight translation scholars and seven professional translators. The secondary data were documents. The questionnaire data were analyzed with a Likert scale; meanwhile, the interview and document with an interactive model. The results revealed five topics that systematically helped student translators to become professional translators. The topics are helpful because they provide students with skills (theoretical, practical, technological skills) needed in current professional translation practices. In addition, the topics also emphasize practical works in the form of translation internships that can be conducted in several small-scale translation businesses available in the local area.

The essential role of translation in intercultural communication leads to the inclusion of translation as one of the courses in universities worldwide, including Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), Indonesia. However, little research has been conducted on the development of instructional translation materials. This study aimed to determine the need for digital instructional materials for the Translation Theory course administered in USU’s English Literature Study Program. The need analysis in this research was conducted using a survey method. The participants were the seventh-semester students who had taken the courses on translation, the translation lecturers, and the professional translators. The data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. These instruments were developed based on the document analysis of the previous instructional materials used by the lecturers in teaching the Translation Theory course. The data were analyzed and interpreted using a 4-Point Likert Scale. The results indicated that the instructional materials for a Translation Theory course need to include clear objectives and approaches, topics guiding them to translation theory mastery, and exercises that cover both translation theory and practice. In addition, the results indicate that the participants need the material resources and exercises in a digital form. Although this study was conducted in the context of USU, the findings may be applied as the basis for developing translation courses in other universities in Indonesia, and other countries that treat English as a Foreign Language in their education systems.

The objectives of this study were to describe factual information about the process of learning using JAWS (Job Access with Speech) and MELDICT (Mitra Netra Electronic Dictionary), to know empirical evidence about the improvement of a visually impaired student, and to analyse the student and teacher perceptions of using JAWS and MELDICT in learning English. This study was conducted by using a descriptive qualitative design. The subject of this study was a visually impaired student who studied in inclusive school SMA Negeri 2 Lubuk Pakam. The data were analysed by using the Louis Cohen technique (2018). The data on this research were the description process of using JAWS and MELDICT, Pre-test and post-test results, the transcript of the teacher interview, the transcript of the student interview, and the teachers' result of the questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that a visually impaired student improved his English by using JAWS and MELDICT with some processes of learning, such as (i) technical preparation, (ii) listening process, (iii)cognitive process (iv)reading process (v) writing process. The research showed that JAWS and MELDICT could improve a visually impaired student's writing skill. The use of JAWS and MELDICT enhanced student's motivation in writing as the student showed active participation during the writing activities. JAWS and MELDICT empowered student's creativity since they enabled the student to explore when expressing his ideas. The improvement was significant, as shown in the written texts.

One persistent challenge in English language teaching (ELT) at senior high schools in Karo Regency, Indonesia, is teachers’ limited access to and familiarity with communicative teaching methods. Professional training that provides teachers with communicative methodologies constitutes a viable strategy to tackle this challenge. This study aims to examine the advantages of implementing Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in English instruction at the senior high school level in Karo Regency. Using a descriptive research design, the study involved English teachers who had previously received training in the CLT method. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal five major advantages of CLT implementation: (1) increased classroom interaction, (2) reduced student boredom, (3) decreased speaking-related shyness, (4) a more enjoyable and engaging learning atmosphere, and (5) improved speaking fluency. These results indicate that CLT effectively supports teachers in achieving the primary objective of ELT, namely the development of students’ communicative competence. The research points out the need for continuous professional development in communicative methodologies to enhance the quality of English language instruction in regional educational contexts.

The growing diversity of translation quality assessment (TQA) models has raised concerns about consistency and reliability, as previous studies show that the same target text may receive different quality judgments when evaluated using different frameworks. This variation exposes the limitations of accuracy-oriented approaches and underscores the need for a more function-sensitive assessment model. In response, the Function-Based TQA model introduces text function as a key quality dimension that extends evaluation beyond linguistic correctness to communicative effectiveness. This study examines the importance of incorporating text function as a central criterion in TQA and explores its perceived role among translation professionals. Adopting a descriptive research design, the study draws on qualitative data from questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with translation lecturers and professional translators actively engaged in TQA. The data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative data analysis model. The findings demonstrate that text function plays a fundamental role in TQA by determining whether the target text fulfills the same communicative purpose as the source text within its target context. To facilitate practical assessment, this study proposes clearly defined quality descriptions and a corresponding scoring system for different levels of functional adequacy. Overall, the study argues that including text function as a distinct quality dimension enhances the consistency, explanatory power, and applicability of TQA models, contributing to a more holistic approach to translation evaluation.
