Abstract

This study explores the request strategies of Javanese female English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners and how these reflect their politeness in communication. It examines the influence of Javanese cultural values and gender on their choice of strategies. Using Trosborg's (1994) request categorization and Brown and Levinson's (1987) politeness theory, data were collected through role-play and semi-structured interviews. The analysis identifies that the learners mainly use conventionally indirect strategies, particularly hearer-oriented ones, with negative politeness being the most common approach. These strategies emphasize indirect phrasing and respect for the listener's autonomy. Javanese cultural values, such as humility (andhap asor) and empathy (tepa selira), significantly shape these choices. Gender norms also play a role, encouraging politeness and indirectness to reduce imposition and promote harmony. The findings suggest that integrating cultural awareness and contextually appropriate strategies into English teaching can help learners communicate effectively in formal or professional settings

Abstract

Children’s literature is crucial for the cognitive, emotional, and social development of young readers. In line with the Agency for Language Development and Cultivation’s initiatives to translate children’s books, this study aims to identify which aspects of translation quality are most effectively maintained and how they impact target readers, particularly regarding engagement across various reading levels. This descriptive qualitative study employed a product-oriented approach with a multiple-case study design to evaluate different reading levels on the Penjaring website. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select data sources relevant to the study’s objectives. Primary data, the original texts and their translations, were sourced from the StoryWeaver website and the Penjaring website respectively. Informants, including raters and children of various ages, assessed translation quality. The study followed four analytical stages: domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and cultural-theme analysis. Results indicate that the translation attempts to maintain the three aspects. However, while translations emphasize accuracy and acceptability, readability is often compromised due to complex sentence structures and unfamiliar vocabulary. Although readability scores are generally high, young readers frequently struggle with comprehension. This underscores the need to achieve a better balance between fidelity to the source text and accessibility for young audiences.

Abstract

The translation of speech acts on product packaging labels was the object of this research. This study aimed to analyze the types of speech acts, translation techniques used by translators to translate label text, and to identify how these techniques affected changing speech acts on product packaging labels. A qualitative descriptive approach was used in this study. The data was presented in the form of utterances on packaging labels that included speech acts and their translations. Document analysis and focus group discussion were used to gather the data. According to the findings, the researcher discovered 94 different forms of speech acts. The translator used 14 different translation techniques in translating the label. Several translation techniques used in this study affect the changing of speech acts in the target language. Deletion, reduction, modulation, paraphrase, and compensation techniques were found to induce a change in speech acts. There were 12 data of the speech acts shifting. The cumulative score for the quality of the translation on the product packaging label was 2.75.
