Abstract

English as a lingua franca required an in-depth understanding of the translation of noun phrases in medical terminology due to the complex nature of noun phrases and involving explanatory words, resulting in a lack of understanding regarding the equivalence of meaning in English. The focus of this community service was to improve understanding of noun phrases in medical texts by applying translation analysis techniques which include translation shifts at the unit, structure, category and intra-system levels. Qualitative data from sentences in English medical textbooks and their translations into Indonesian were used as a basis for analysis through content analysis methods and focus group discussions (FGD) to understand the process of changing meaning in translation. The research sample involved 14 undergraduate students of Pharmacy and D-III Midwifery semester V at STIKes Mitra Husada Medan, North Sumatra. The results of this community service contribute to increasing public health literacy, especially among students in the health sector, thereby enabling collaboration between two fields of science that mutually contribute to sustainable development.

Abstract

The research analyzed student writing samples to identify common challenges such as vague conclusions, overuse of passive voice, and syntactic fragmentation by focusing on three key pedagogical components: genre-specific rhetorical moves, service lexicon precision, and contextual register awareness. Findings revealed that students often lacked awareness of professional genre conventions, resulting in ineffective expression of experiential learning and accountability. Through targeted instruction that incorporated move-based modeling with lexical enhancement and discourse-level sensitivity, participants demonstrated significant improvement in clarity, coherence and professional tone. The research underscored the effectiveness of an integrated and genre-informed approach in elevating students’ communicative competence in hospitality reporting tasks could offer implications for curriculum design in ESP contexts.

Abstract

Speaking fluency remains a persistent challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly at the secondary school level, where students often experience disruptions in speech flow due to difficulties in transforming conceptual intentions into coherent spoken output. These disruptions not only affect linguistic accuracy but also hinder real-time communication and discourse coherence. This study aimed to investigate how targeted pedagogical interventions, specifically idea chunking rehearsals and partner listening journals, could reconstruct speaking flow disruptions and enhance fluency and coherence among Indonesian high school EFL students. Adopting a process-oriented qualitative research approach grounded in theories of cognitive fluency and discourse organization, the study analyzed students’ spoken performance before and after the interventions. Data were collected through audio-recorded spontaneous and integrated speaking tasks administered during classroom activities. Qualitative discourse analysis was employed to identify recurring types of speaking disruptions, including hesitation clustering, disconnected nominal references, and collapsed verb chains. The findings indicated that students were able to internalize the targeted strategies, leading to improved real-time message planning, monitoring, and delivery. Pedagogically, the findings suggest that integrating process-based fluency interventions into speaking instruction can help learners manage cognitive load during speech production. These results offer practical implications for EFL teachers and curriculum designers seeking to address fluency development through cognitively informed and classroom-applicable strategies.

Abstract

This study investigated narrative coherence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing through a cognitive-rhetorical framework that integrated event causality mapping, referential consistency, and affective trajectory control. Conducted at two private universities in North Sumatra, the study involved 24 third-year EFL students enrolled in academic writing courses. Using discourse analysis of student narratives and targeted revision tasks, the study revealed frequent disruptions in logical event sequencing, inconsistent referent tracking, and unstable emotional flow. Findings indicated that guided instruction using cognitive-rhetorical strategies significantly enhanced students’ ability to construct coherent narratives. The proposed framework supported deeper rhetorical awareness and cognitive control in written storytelling. It offered practical implications for EFL pedagogy in Indonesian university contexts.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the transformative experiences of pre-service English teachers during microteaching at two private universities in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Involving a purposive sample of 14 Indonesian pre-service teachers, data were collected through teaching journals, classroom observations, audio-visual recordings, and stimulated recall interviews. Thematic analysis was used, guided by Vygotsky’s ZPD, Schon’s reflective practice, and Wenger’s comunicative practices theory. Findings revealed shifts from routine teaching to adaptive, student-centered strategies characterized by pedagogical adjustment, reflective awareness, and instructional skill refinement. Participants showed increased sensitivity to timing, language accuracy, emotional climate, and sociocultural engagement. The study highlighted microteaching as a dynamic platform for identity formation and pedagogical growth. The research offered critical insights into teacher development and suggested future studies with broader contexts to capture sustained transformation in English education.

Abstract

This community service analyzed the relationship between legal interpretation and translation in cases of illegal fishing in Indonesia and its impact on law enforcement. Legal translation errors hindered international cooperation and the implementation of maritime policies. Using a qualitative approach and the PACTE (Process of Acquisition of Translation Competence and Evaluation) model, the activity involved undergraduate law students from Universitas Deli Sumatera in audiovisual tasks to translate and interpret courtroom clips related to illegal fishing. The analysis revealed key challenges in translating technical terms, pragmatics, and socio-cultural relevance. The study highlighted the importance of idiomatic translation and the Skopos approach to maintain legal accuracy. Interactive courtroom simulations were suggested to enhance legal practice understanding and support Indonesia's maritime policy effectiveness.

Abstract

This study investigated linguistic racism in Indonesian EFL classrooms, where Standard English dominated and marginalized regional linguistic identities. Employing Critical Race Theory, raciolinguistics, and postcolonial applied linguistics, it analyzed observations, interviews, and discourse from three junior high schools in Medan. Findings revealed that regional accents and non-standard grammar were policed, corrected, and ridiculed, fostering internalized hierarchies that equated fluency with whiteness and global prestige. English-only policies and Anglo-American curricular content further silenced diverse voices, perpetuating colonial language gatekeeping. Emotional harm, identity suppression, and peer surveillance exacerbated students’ withdrawal and conformity pressures. Nevertheless, students resisted through translanguaging, code-switching, parody, and peer support, asserting hybrid identities and challenging hegemonic norms. The study called for pedagogical reforms embracing culturally responsive and inclusive approaches that validated multilingualism, dismantled linguistic hierarchies, and promoted equitable English learning. This shift was vital to transform classrooms from sites of exclusion to spaces where diverse linguistic identities were empowered.

Abstract

This study examined how Indonesian EFL undergraduates interpreted English literature by integrating affective stylistics, mood–tone analysis, and cultural contrast into a unified interpretive framework. Employing a qualitative interpretive case study, data were collected from 24 literature majors in North Sumatra through close-reading tasks, think-aloud protocols, and semi-structured interviews. All instruments underwent expert validation and interrater reliability checks to ensure consistency in affective and tonal coding. Data were analyzed thematically to trace how students’ cognitive-affective responses unfolded during real-time reading. Using selected passages from Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hunger Games, the findings revealed three systematic distortions: affective misalignment, marked by reduced emotional cues; tonal misclassification, where markers of probability were interpreted as certainty; and moral domestication, marked by the simplification of ethical ambiguity into binary judgments. These patterns demonstrated an affective cultural overlay, in which readers unconsciously replaced foreign affective cues with culturally familiar ones. The study underscored the need for pedagogical interventions that foster interpretive flexibility and minimize culturally driven misreadings.
