Abstract

Translating does not seem to be a trouble-free work. There are abundant tricks, strategies and adaptations to meet the need of being called 'sufficient' translation and thus it provides similar responses of the readers and brings about similar 'soul' of the original text. Translation works comprise many values and objectives of its author and the text itself. Not only is it a matter of transferring ideas or stories into other languages, but also a process of transferring culture, ideology, politics and social messages of the original text. This paper will discuss translation methods/strategies (the terms will be used interchangeably in this paper) that may be applied by the Indonesian translator in translating "Sophie's World" as well as investigate the values that are embedded in the translation version as compared to the original text. Two-page-alternative translations will also be offered as another option of applying translation methods.

Abstract

Translating formal text that may contain social, political, and crucial issues that involve many parties and possibly pose reactions across countries does not seem to be a simple task to complete. Due to diverse reactions of readers from different languages, a translator needs to be very careful to transfer meanings and the emotion within a text. Translation strategies, language use, types of text, genre, discourse and values are urgent issues to reconsider during the translation process. This paper investigates the translation strategies implemented in the Indonesian translation of the U.S. Embassy Press Release in response to Newsweek's Report on Alleged Desecration of the Holy Qur'an from the point of views of text, genre, and discourse as proposed by Hatim and Munday. In addition, several alternative translations are also offered to show different impacts of a translated text. Despite many translation methods that are used in doing the translation process, a text still bear its own genre, discourse and therefore stands in its own identity while at the same time the target text should keep voicing at least similar values and bring about similar impacts on readers.

Abstract

This paper analyzes pre-service teachers’ critical incidents as reflected in their e-portfolios during their teaching simulation in the microteaching course. Three cycles of teaching practice were scheduled for each student-teacher. Thirty-six student-teacher critical incidents and e-portfolios were analyzed. Data were collected mainly from their e-portfolios containing their critical incidents. In addition, observations and focus group discussions were conducted to triangulate and confirm the students’ critical incidents. Results showed that of the total 130 critical incidents, 60 occurred in their first, 38 in their second, and 34 in their third teaching cycle. It indicates that the pre-service teachers struggle more at the beginning of their teaching practicum, go through the learning process, and develop their understanding of teaching. In addition, the student-teachers are empowered by obtaining the ability to sense the theoretical and practical gaps in teaching, indicate teaching problems and complexity, become aware of the challenging classroom management issues, and future professional development. This study highlights the importance of reflective practices such as critical incident analyses to be induced in teacher training programs. Through critical incident identification, pre-service teachers are trained to develop their reflection-on-action skills, pedagogical awareness, and choices and sharpen their sense of teaching problems, particularly when encountering theory-practice gaps.

Abstract

Global Englishes (GE) has challenged long-standing native-speaker norms by affirming the legitimacy of diverse English varieties, yet its classroom implementation remains limited. This article introduces the pedagogy of disjuncture as a conceptual response to this gap. Building on transformative learning theory, it redefines disjuncture as a deliberate pedagogical resource rather than as an obstacle. The core idea of this approach is designed for disjuncture. Unlike traditional uses of Critical Incidents, which often depend on retrospective accounts of classroom experiences, designed disjuncture is intentionally created encounters that expose teachers to linguistic diversity, communicative breakdowns, or intercultural tensions. By structuring these incidents as planned interventions, teacher education can guide participants through cycles of exposure, reflection, and dialogue that lead to the reshaping of professional identity. The contribution of this article is twofold. Conceptually, it combines GE, teacher identity research, and transformative learning into a cohesive framework that broadens the scope of Critical Incident pedagogy. Practically, it outlines how designed disjuncture can be integrated into teacher education curricula worldwide, helping teachers move beyond rhetorical acceptance of GE toward resilient, critically aware professional identities suited for multilingual classrooms.

Abstract

This article examines how a woman seafarer uses an image to create her identity and struggles in a male-dominated job. Photovoice and online interviews were used to gather data. While the purpose of the interview was to gather the narratives, the SHOWeD approach helped her think about the picture. Content analysis was used to examine the data to find themes and recount the tales of her identity creation. The results demonstrate that while regulations have been put in place to safeguard women working on ships and to ensure that male and female seafarers have equivalent workloads, there is no assurance that harassment and discrimination won't happen. The male counterpart's unfavorable stigmatization of women working on ships regrettably confirms that women seafarers continue to be a high-stakes profession with possible hazards. One important identity construction that emerges is that women seafarers do not pursue careers that last a lifetime because other jobs are seen as more fulfilling, such working in an office and raising children.
