Abstract

The objectives of this study were to explore the challenges faced by students in writing descriptive text about local places and to describe how they deal with these challenges. A descriptive method was used, with a writing test and a questionnaire as instruments. From the results of the writing test, the students' scores on the organization aspect were the lowest, which means that students still have difficulties structuring their writing effectively and presenting their ideas in a clear and logical way. It involves issues like paragraph structure, coherence, and transitions between paragraphs. In addition, from the students' responses in the questionnaire, it was found that more than half of the students who participated in the questionnaire section felt that limited vocabulary was their main challenge in writing descriptive texts about local places. This indicates that the students felt that they did not have enough choice of words or phrases to effectively describe the place they were writing about. Moreover, to deal with the challenges, they used various strategies to navigate the complexity of writing about local places. These strategies include thorough observation, pre-writing, revision before completion, seeking examples, seeking feedback from peers, utilizing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), utilizing visual references, and regular practice. In conclusion, the paper shows the challenges students faced in writing descriptive text about local places and the strategies they employed to address these challenges.

Abstract

This research discusses the language choice in teaching content subjects used by lecturers in the online classroom. It aims at finding out the types of code-switching and code-mixing and the reason for using both of them. This study is a descriptive qualitative. The researchers observed and collected the data by attending the online class. The researchers recorded the conversation from the start until the end of the class. After gaining the data, the researchers transcribed them into written data and then classified them based on the types of code switching and code mixing. They then analyzed the reasons why code-switching and code-mixing were used. The result of the data analysis showed that the most frequently used type of code-mixing was Intra-Sentential, while the most applied type of code-switching was extra-sentential. In addition, the most dominant reason is the intention of clarifying the content of the course for the interlocutor.

Abstract

Pemerolehan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing membutuhkan pembiasaan melalui berbagai aktivitas sehari-hari. Aktivitas santri mukim di asrama MTs Mu'allimat NWDI Pancor sangat memungkinkan bahasa Inggris dijadikan sebagai bahasa pengantar dalam komunikasi interaktif sehari-hari di lingkungan asrama sehingga dapat menumbuhkembangkan keberanian, mental, dan kemampuan bahasa lisan para santri. Namun keterbatasan jumlah tenaga pendidik, hal itu belum dapat dilakukan. Atas dasar itu, melalui kerjasama multipihak dengan mahasiswa dan relawan yang tergabung dalam English Speaking Club (ESC) Universitas Hamzanwadi, kegiatan pendampingan santri untuk menumbuhkan budaya komunikasi berbahasa Inggris menjadi target dalam pengabdian ini melalui metode pelatihan tutor. Dengan pembekalan materi dan metode pembelajaran interaktif, mereka bertugas mendampingi  santri dalam komunikasi interaktif sehari-hari. Hasil sosialisasi program ini menunjukkan bahwa tutor tersebut sangat antusias dan ada 20 orang calon tutor telah berhasil direkrut dan bersedia melakukan pendampingan. Pihak madrasah juga telah memberikan keluangan waktu empat hari seminggu untuk melakukan pendampingan tersebut.

Abstract

This study analyzed the problems and practical needs of English vocabulary learning among low-score students at a state university in Mataram, Lombok, Indonesia. To provide appropriate instructional materials, learning tasks, or assessment tasks, a need analysis of the student’s prior knowledge is the most important thing that should be done by a teacher. The research involved forty students and used qualitative methods, including questionnaires and interviews, to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative methods, such as data reduction, display, analysis, and conclusion. The results of this study show that there are problems in vocabulary learning faced by students such as problems with inaccurate pronunciation, problems in knowing the meaning of too much vocabulary, problems in dealing with grammatical alterations, and problems in using words appropriately. On the other hand, students' practical needs are engaging in learning with interactive activities in the form of games/discussions in class, practicing the words adequately, and asking for feedback for better learning improvement. Future research can further examine overcoming the problems found by linking them directly to practical needs.

Abstract

Audio-visual translation (AVT) is an essential part of making films accessible across languages and cultures. However, there are few research on subtitling procedures in films with social and ideological complexity. This study aims at analyzing the types of translation strategies employed in the Indonesian subtitles of “Women Talking” (2022) based on Gottlieb’s classification of translation strategies (1992) as well as investigating the most frequently used translation strategies used in the Indonesian subtitles of the movie. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, a total of 300 of 1,318 subtitle units were purposively selected and analyzed using documentation and qualitative content analysis. The findings showed that 8 out of 10 Gottlieb’s translation strategies were identified that included Transfer, Paraphrase, Condensation, Imitation, Expansion, Deletion, Decimation, and Resignation strategies, while Transcription and Dislocation were absent. Transfer strategy is the most frequently used strategy with 160 occurrences (53.33%), followed by Paraphrase (50 occurrences, 16.67%), Condensation (30 occurrences, 10.00%), Imitation (17 occurences, 5.67%), Expansion (15 occurences, 5.00%), Deletion (15 occurences, 5.00%), Decimation (12 occurences, 4.00%), and Resignation (1 occurence, 0.33%). The prevalent use of Transfer strategy suggests the translator’s preference for retaining the original content via literal translation, but Paraphrase and Condensation were used to address linguistic and technical limits of subtitling. The results indicate that the translation of Indonesian subtitles of Women Talking put semantic correctness at the top of the priority list while still keeping the readability for Indonesian viewers.
