Abstract

Abstract. This research investigates the material needs of third-year students enrolled in two classes of Translation courses at Universitas Palangka Raya, aiming to inform the development of a comprehensive translation module. A total of 108 students participated in the study, providing valuable insights through a structured questionnaire designed to assess their specific requirements for translation materials. A qualitative approach using structured questionnaires was used, allowing for both thematic analysis of open-ended responses and percentage-based summaries of closed-ended items. This enabled an in-depth understanding of the students’ perspectives and learning needs. The findings revealed that the majority of students felt the current materials were adequate, but highlighted the need for a more structured and accessible module. Specifically, students expressed a desire for materials that bridge the gap between theory and practice, including more examples, practical exercises, and structured guidance across different types of texts, such as academic, commercial, and literary works. The results underscore the importance of developing a tailored translation module that not only covers the theoretical aspects of translation but also provides ample opportunities for students to apply their knowledge in practice. This study provides a foundational basis for enhancing the Translation courses at Universitas Palangka Raya, ensuring that the curriculum aligns more closely with the actual needs of students.Keywords: : translation, module, learning materials, EFL students, need analysis

Abstract

Learning experience is an integral factor of language perception construction. Having a positive experience is more likely to construct a positive perception of the language. English students in Universitas Palangka Raya are indigenous people in Kalimantan who comes from different parts of Central Kalimantan. These students experienced learning processes that are highly influenced by the condition of the school, the teachers, and their environment. This study aims to understand the indigenous students learning experiences in Central Kalimantan to explore the construction process of their perception of English throughout these experiences. This study involved five English education students. We conducted a conversational interview to collect the participants’ stories of their learning experienced. We found that all of the participants chose English education study program because they were interested in the language. These interests are built through their language learning experience. Even if the students reported school and classroom environments as the biggest factor of their negative experience of English, they still found interest in English through usage in their lives such as hobbies and communication.

Abstract

Translation of Culture-Specific Items (CSIs) in audiovisual media plays a crucial role in supporting cross-cultural understanding and preserving cultural meaning. However, previous studies have predominantly focused on translation strategies, with limited attention to how translated CSIs contribute to cultural understanding among global audiences, as evaluated through the extent to which the translations preserve referential meaning, retain cultural nuances, and remain comprehensible to target viewers. This study aims to analyze the translation of CSIs in the Indonesian horror film KKN di Desa Penari by applying Newmark’s (2010) CSI categories and Aixelá’s (1996) translation strategy framework. This research employs a qualitative descriptive case study design. The data were collected from movie dialogues and their English subtitles using observation and note-taking techniques. The analysis identified 41 CSIs classified into six categories, with social life and private passions emerging as the most dominant. The findings also reveal that while many translations successfully preserve referential meaning, some cultural nuances are reduced in the process. This study contributes to audiovisual translation research by highlighting the role of CSI translation not only as a linguistic process but also as a mediator of cultural understanding. It shows that although translation enables international audiences to access Indonesian cultural elements, certain layers of cultural depth may not be fully conveyed.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of language education. Specifically, on the context of translation courses, the presence of AI is inevitably affecting the practices of translation by emerging various perceptions on it. Hence, this study aims to explore the Indonesian EFL students’ views on the role of AI in translation practices. Using the mixed method with sequential explanatory (Creswell & Clark, 2017), data were gathered through a Likert Scale questionnaire administered to 100 students from two Translation Courses in English Language Education Study Program at a state university in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The findings reveal a dichotomy in students’ perceptions: while some view AI as a beneficial tool that enhances efficiency and accuracy, others express concerns about its potential to diminish language skills, creativity, and the role of human translators. These mixed perceptions highlight the need for a balanced approach in integrating AI into translation education, ensuring that students develop both technological proficiency and critical translation skills. The study’s implications suggest a reconsideration of curriculum design, emphasizing the complementary roles of AI and human expertise in fostering well-rounded translators.

Abstract

This study critically examines the tourism brochure of West Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, from Indonesian to English. It argues that the translator’s choice of strategies reshapes the region's ecological and cultural landscape in the target text. Employing Venuti’s domestication and foreignization strategies as well as Stibbe’s ecolinguistics framework, the analysis reveals shifts from narratives that encourage genuine nature appreciation to those promoting adventure consumption, thereby reinforcing an inherently anthropocentric worldview. Key findings unequivocally highlight a significant erasure of indigenous eco-technologies and local knowledge, exemplified by the generic rendering of terms like kelotok and perahu getek into simply “a boat,” and the mistranslation of the culturally vital sumpit (blowpipe) as “chopstick”. This linguistic simplification and misrepresentation contribute to the commodification of the region, framing it through an exotic-romantic imaginary that obscures its identity and complex socio-ecological realities. Furthermore, factual inaccuracies, such as the incorrect conversion of “hectares” to “acres,” disrupt narrative conviction and contribute to the institutionalization of natural spaces, presenting them as managed facilities rather than holistic ecosystems. The predominant reliance on domestication strategies effectively silences the environment, replacing rich, interconnected stories with a simplified, consumer-oriented discourse. This research critically underscores the urgent need for ethically and ecologically conscious approaches to tourism translation that actively resist anthropocentric biases, foster authentic representation, and ultimately promote genuine eco-cultural sustainability in promotional materials.
