Abstract

This research is aimed to analyze the translation of Processes in the Expository Texts of `Ask Barbara: The 100 Most-Asked Questions about Love, Sex and Relationships`. Translation is expressing ideas in one language into another. In Systemic Functional Linguistics perspective,representation of ideas into language is part of the Ideational Meaning which focuses on the Process (verbal phrase) as the core of the clause. The SFL approach to translation studies should provide the technical terms as the linguistic evidence to account for the equivalence in the syntactical elements of the clause. The research question is: what are the Processes in the Expository Texts in Ask Barbara: `The 100 Most-Asked Questions about Love, Sex and Relationships`? The objective of this research is to find out the types of Process in the Source language (English) and those in the Target language (Indonesian).

The technique of analyzing the data includes domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and the cultural theme or values. The data analysis reveals that from 297 clauses in the target language, there are 18.8% Processes in the Thesis, 75.4% Processes in the Argument, and 11.8% Processes in the Reiteration. In each of the elements of the generic structure of the expository texts, there are 22 Relational Attributive (39.3%), 19 Material (33.9%), 11 Mental (19.6%), 2 Existential (3.5%), 1 Relational Identifying (1.8%) and 1 Verbal (1.8%) processes. The Argument part of the texts is made up of 85 Material (37.9%), 75 Relational Attributive (33.5%), 39 Mental (17.4%), 16 Verbal (7.1%), 4 Behavioral (1.8%), 3 Existential (1.3%) and 2 Relational Identifying (0.9%) processes.

Abstract

One significant difference characterizing the 2013 Curriculum from the former one is the use of authentic assessment to measure the students expected learning outcomes. The old-fashioned mode of assessments such as multiple choice, or completion is regarded insufficient to capture the language skills mastery of the students. Students' demonstration of the mastery of various domains of learning objectives has not necessarily equated with a demonstration of their capacities in real-world settings. Ideally, what is tested should mirror what really is required outside the classroom. So far reading mastery is always tested through traditional mode of assessment like multiple choices (MC). The new curriculum recommends a different perspective of assessment which is called alternative assessment. However, the shift from the traditional assessments to authentic assessments seems to challenge some constraints on the part of the teachers. Many teachers are not quite familiar with the new concepts andpractices within the emerging paradigm. It is due to the absenceof a clear guideline for doing such assessments. The goal of this paper is to propose a theoretically grounded method to conduct alternative assessments which are developed from a pair of standard competences listedin theEnglish syllabus for Senior High School level

Abstract

Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah melacak sebaran kerja, masa tunggu lulusan dalam mendapatkan pekerjaan, dan besaran pendapatan atau gaji yang diperoleh oleh lulusan selama sebulan. Data dari penelitian ini diambil melalui kuesioner online yang disebarkan ke lulusan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris UPGRIS tahun 2018-2020 melalui whatsapp grup dan menggunakan reminder berupa telepon secara personal untuk pengisian kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 51% lulusan terserap kedalam dunia kerja dan bekerja sebagai guru bahasa Inggris baik disekolah negeri, swasta, madrasah maupun di pondok pesantren. Sedangkan 41% lulusan bekerja pada sektor swasta, pada perusahaan jasa dan manufaktur, dan menjadi wiraswasta mandiri yang berkecimpung pada penjualan dan start up online. Untuk mendapatkan pekerjaan, 60 % lulusan memerlukan kisaran waktu sebanyak 1-3 bulan, 25 % lulusan menunggu selama 3-6 bulan, 10% lulusan menunggu selama 6-12 bulan dan hanya 5 % lulusan yang mendapatkan pekerjaan setelah lebih dari setahun lulus.  Sayangnya, para lulusan tersebut masih menerima gaji atau mendapatkan penghasilan sebanyak 1-3 juta saja per bulan (46%), 3-5 juta perbulan sebanyak 39%, 5-7.5 juta sebanyak 4%, dan hanya 11% yang mendapatkan gaji 7.5 -10 juta per bulan. Meskipun demikian, dengan melihat sebaran jenis pekerjaan yang digeluti oleh lulusan, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa profil prodi untuk menghasilkan guru bahasa Inggris yang cakap dan entrepreneur sudah tercapai melalui lulusan, dan kurikulum yang terapkan prodi dalam proses pengajaran sudah relevan dengan tuntutan dunia kerja.

Abstract

The number of Indonesian novels translated into various foreign languages, especially English, requires a deeper study so that illegibility and unacceptableness will not occur in conveying the true meaning in the source language. This study examines the disclosure of the main character in the novel Bumi Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer which was translated into English This Earth of Mankind using Appraisal theory in Functional Systemic Linguistics (LSF) perspective which includes the culture of the source language in it. The results of the analysis show that there is a shift in appraisal or a shift in the type of appraisal in the depiction of the main character in the novel in the source language (Indonesian) with the depiction of the character in the target language (English) as seen in the change in the choice of expression (words or phrases) in the target language. This can be interpreted that in the world of translation, the choice of equivalent target language words will always change according to acceptance with the culture and norms that apply to the target language.
