This research employ qualitative approach and descriptive method. Both of the strategy of literary translation theory by Kazakova (2015) and translation ideology theory by Venutti (1994) are used to answer the question of the research. This research found that translator used all four strategies of literary translation proposed by Kazakova; helper strategy (35,57%), observer strategy (26,17%), enlightener strategy (20,13%), and adherent strategy strategy (18,12%). It also found that the strategy used by translator alternately applied both foreignization and domestication ideology on his translation process.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the understanding of English language education students of the phenomenon of Deixis in the TOEFL reading text and identify the factors that influence the understanding. As a crucial pragmatic competence in academic literacy, Deixis acts as a bridge that connects text with context. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach by involving students of the English Language Education Program, IAIN Parepare, as informants. Data were collected through the TOEFL reading test and stimulated recall interview to reveal students ' cognitive processes. The results showed that students ' understanding was at a mechanistic-literal level. Students demonstrate a good understanding of the Deixis persona because of its concrete and explicit nature of reference. However, a significant decrease in understanding occurs in temporal Deixis and Discourse Deixis; students tend to experience chronological confusion and difficulty tracking abstract references that cross paragraph boundaries. The proximity approach strategy, which is the tendency to choose references based on physical proximity in the text, is the dominant method used by students when dealing with ambiguity. These findings indicate that the main barriers for STEM students are limited vocabulary, short-term memory load (cognitive overload), and dependence on surface reading strategies (surface reading).

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the 3I’s method (Instruct, Integrate, and Involve) in enhancing students’ ability to write recount texts at SMK Negeri 2 Parepare. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, involving both experimental and control groups that completed pre-tests and post-tests. The participants were eleventh-grade students, and the sample was selected through cluster random sampling. Class XI DKV C served as the experimental group, while Class XI TITL B functioned as the control group, with 21 students in each class. Data were collected using a recount writing test evaluated according to five writing components: content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics, based on Heaton’s scoring rubric. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The findings revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean post-test score (86.05) than the control group (81.52). In addition, the statistical analysis produced a significance value of 0.029, which was lower than the 0.05 threshold, indicating a significant difference between the groups. These results suggest that the 3I’s method effectively improves students’ recount writing performance, particularly in generating ideas, applying grammar accurately, and producing well-organized texts. Therefore, the 3I’s method can be recommended as an effective instructional approach for teaching writing in vocational high school settings.

Abstract

This study examines the use of Educaplay, a gamified digital platform, to enhance vocabulary acquisition among EFL students at Zubdatul Asrar NU Boarding School in Parepare. Recognizing the limitations of traditional vocabulary instruction, the research explores how interactive, game-based learning can support engagement and retention. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed with 42 randomly selected students. Vocabulary tests were administered before and after six sessions using Educaplay activities, and a student questionnaire was used to assess learner perceptions. The results showed a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery, with mean scores increasing from 55.71 to 94.48. Questionnaire data revealed high levels of student motivation and satisfaction with the learning process. These findings suggest that digital gamified tools like Educaplay can effectively support vocabulary development in EFL contexts, offering an engaging and inclusive alternative to traditional methods.

Abstract

This research examines students' perceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), focusing on their views regarding its benefits and challenges. Conducted at the English Language Education Study Program, Tarbiyah Faculty, IAIN Parepare, this study involved 30 students selected through random sampling to ensure generalizability. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to gather insights into students’ experiences with AI tools such as Elsa Speak, Duolingo, and Google Assistant. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes and key perspectives. The findings revealed that students perceive AI as both advantageous and limiting in their EFL learning journey. On the positive side, AI was seen as increasing motivation, boosting confidence in speaking, and providing practical opportunities for self-directed learning. However, students also expressed concerns regarding overreliance on AI tools, decreased creativity in language production, and AI's inability to adapt to individual learning styles and personalities. Additionally, some participants worried about AI’s potential impact on future job opportunities. The study concludes that while students generally view AI as a valuable aid in EFL learning, they recognize the need for a balanced approach. Educators and learners should integrate AI with traditional learning methods to enhance effectiveness while minimizing its limitations. Future research should further explore students' long-term perceptions of AI and its role in diverse EFL learning contexts.
