Studi penerjemahan menjadi salah satu bagian penting dalam pembelajaran bahasa. Sebagaimana empat keterampilan bahasa (mendengarkan, berbicara, membaca, menulis), penerjemahan juga perlu diajarkan kepada pelajar EFL. Seiring dengan keempat keterampilan dasar tersebut, keterampilan menerjemahkan akan meningkatkan kompetensi bahasa asing peserta didik. Jadi, mengajar penerjemahan kepada pembelajar EFL tidak hanya akan memberikan pengetahuan tetapi juga mengembangkan kompetensi bahasa pembelajar. Dalam menerjemahkan suatu bahasa, seorang penerjemah harus mampu menyampaikan keseluruhan makna dari setiap klausa, khususnya kompleks klausa, di samping memahami bahasa sumber dan bahasa sasaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesulitan yang dihadapi dosen dan mahasiswa pada pengajaran clause complex di kelas penerjemahan dan solusi untuk mengatasi kesulitan tersebut. Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif digunakan untuk melakukan penelitian ini. Data dikumpulkan dari kelas penerjemahan Program Sekolah Bahasa Inggris yang diselenggarakan oleh Ma’had Al Jami’ah IAIN Kudus. Beberapa teknik yang dilakukan untuk mengumpulkan data yaitu observasi, dokumentasi, dan wawancara dengan santri Ma’had. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa kesulitan terkait kompleks klausa muncul di kelas penerjemahan. Sebagian besar mahasiswa mengalami kesulitan karena rendahnya penguasaan kosakata serta tata bahasa dan sulit menemukan padanan makna dalam bahasa target. Sementara itu, dosen mengalami kesulitan dalam menemukan metode dan teknik yang tepat untuk mengajar penerjemahan khususnya terkait dengan clause complex. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, beberapa solusi dibahas secara rinci yang dapat digunakan dosen sebagai panduan ketika mengajar penerjemahan.

The present study attempts to explore the motivational beliefs in learning English among non-English major students from two higher educations in Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through close-ended questionnaires. The questionnaires were then distributed to the 100 students. The collected data were then analyzed quantitatively to find out the percentage of motivational beliefs. Further, we interpreted the motivations mostly preferred the non-English major students. The results reveal that from 15 items of motivational beliefs in learning English, the most dominant motivations of learning English preferred by the non-English major students include becoming a knowledgeable person (95%), understanding English books, movies, music (95%), transferring knowledge to others (81%), becoming an educated person (81%), appreciating the ways of life of native English speakers (79%), discussing interesting topics in English with the people from other countries (77%), keeping in touch with foreign people (60%), getting appreciation from others (60 %). On the other hand, other items of motivational beliefs may not become their main motivational beliefs in learning English.
