Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of third-semester students in the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, focusing on the translation of argumentative texts from English into Indonesian. While previous research has mainly examined narrative or descriptive genres, studies on argumentative texts remain limited, despite their prominence in academic contexts and their demanding linguistic and cognitive features. This study addresses the lack of empirical work on argumentative translation and contributes practical strategies for EFL teachers. A quantitative descriptive design was employed to evaluate students’ translation performance across three key dimensions: accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Data were collected through a performance-based translation test and assessed using a rubric adapted from Nababan (2012). Findings revealed that although most students produced translations that were acceptable and readable, accuracy emerged as the most problematic dimension. Only 53.3% of the students achieved fully accurate translations, compared with stronger performance in acceptability (66.7%) and moderate results in readability (40%). These outcomes indicate that while students demonstrated cultural and linguistic fluency, they struggled with semantic precision and logical coherence. The results highlight the pedagogical need for integrating genre-based translation tasks into EFL curricula and providing explicit instruction in strategies such as managing logical flow, coherence, and stylistic alignment.

Abstract

Rapid digital transformation, driven by the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into digital products and services, has intensified competition across industries and positioned Time-to-Market (TTM) as a critical success factor for digital innovation projects. AI-oriented development requires rapid iteration, continuous data processing, and frequent model refinement, which are often difficult to support using traditional project management approaches, leading to delayed deployment and reduced adaptability. In this context, agile methodologies have emerged as a flexible and adaptive framework that aligns well with the iterative and data-driven nature of AI development. This study examines the impact of agile adoption on TTM performance in digital innovation projects, particularly those involving AI-enabled components, using a qualitative multiple-case study design based on semi-structured interviews with product managers, developers, and agile practitioners, complemented by analysis of project documentation, AI workflows, and delivery metrics. The findings show that organizations adopting agile methodologies achieve a development cycle time reduction of approximately 25% to 40% within the first two years of implementation, supported by key practices such as iterative sprint development, cross-functional collaboration between engineering and data teams, continuous feedback loops, and early testing of AI components. Overall, the study confirms that agile methodologies serve as an effective strategic mechanism for accelerating TTM in AI-driven digital innovation projects.

Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching, the advent of visual media has profoundly impacted education by offering fresh opportunities to motivate learners and explain intricate linguistic ideas. The current research investigated the perceptions of EFL learners at the university level regarding the advantages and disadvantages posed by visual media. A qualitative case study design was employed to gather data through open-ended questionnaires distributed to five purposefully selected students, aiming to capture the full range of a multimedia-informed continuum of proficiency and prior exposure. Thematic analysis revealed three primary themes: (a) visual media significantly enhances engagement and understanding, contributing to more interactive lessons and appreciation of abstract language components; (b) significant challenges like insufficient broadband access, overly complex content far exceeding students’ capabilities, lessons dominated by the need to pre-analyze visuals at the expense of text, and lack of access to certain media presented barriers; and (c) students recommended practical strategies for optimizing visual media use, such as aligning content with cultural and linguistic contexts, incorporating interactive teaching methods, providing offline resources, and enhancing teacher training in multimedia integration. This insight extends the literature, evidencing the simultaneous promise and challenge interactions posed for language learning through visual media. This study enhances the understanding of the impact of media on the efficient utilization of EFL instruction within the frameworks of discourse and paradigms, including balance, context-appropriate use, pathways into the study of sustained and new technological impacts, and multilayered inquiry for technology’s influence over time.

Abstract

This study examines the enhancement of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method to facilitate transformative learning in higher education students. PBL is esteemed for its capacity to improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Transformative learning theory emphasizes critical reflection and viewpoint transformation, providing a foundation for reconceptualizing PBL as an approach that enhances cognitive skills while also altering learners’ worldviews. A qualitative approach was utilized, directed by two research inquiries: 1. What is the learners' experience of the flipped problem-based learning method in promoting transformative learning? 2. What aspects of the PBL approach most significantly facilitate the transformation of learners' perspectives? Data were gathered from 15 university students via semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Thematic analysis was employed to understand the data. The findings identified four principal themes: (1) the confrontation of disorienting dilemmas, (2) critical reflection, (3) dialogic collaboration and peer influence, and (4) alterations in self-perception and learning orientation. The study indicates that intentional redesign of PBL with authentic challenges, systematic reflection, and peer dialogue transcends procedural problem-solving, promoting transformative learning. The findings underscore the significance for educators, curriculum developers, and institutions, stressing the necessity of incorporating transformative learning principles into project-based learning practices.

Abstract

This study explores students’ language attitudes toward Indonesian, regional languages, and English across diverse geographical regions in South Sulawesi. Language attitude plays a crucial role in shaping language use, identity, and learning outcomes, particularly in multilingual societies. This research aims to examine how geographical background influences students’ perceptions, preferences, and language practices within academic and social contexts. The study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with fourteen third-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, originating from several regions, including Bone, Bulukumba, Sinjai, Jeneponto, Takalar, Gowa, and Pangkep. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis procedures involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students demonstrate highly positive attitudes toward the Indonesian language, perceiving it as a unifying national language that facilitates communication across regions and functions effectively in formal and academic settings. Regional languages are strongly valued as symbols of cultural identity and heritage; however, their use is largely restricted to informal domains. English is regarded as an important global language with strong instrumental value for academic achievement and future careers. Despite this recognition, many students experience anxiety and lack confidence when speaking English, particularly in formal situations. Additionally, code-switching emerges as a common communicative strategy, reflecting students’ linguistic flexibility in navigating multilingual environments. Overall, the study concludes that students maintain a balanced multilingual attitude shaped by geographical background, social context, and communicative needs. These findings highlight the importance of inclusive language education policies that support national unity, cultural preservation, and global competence simultaneously.
