The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into language education has transformed translation instruction, offering tools such as Google Translate and ChatGPT to support learners in decoding and producing texts across languages. However, despite their widespread use, these tools are often applied without pedagogical structure, resulting in overreliance, misinterpretation, and limited linguistic development, particularly among university students in non-English dominant contexts. This qualitative case study investigated how sixth-semester students from seven universities in Palembang, Indonesia, utilized AI-based translation tools in academic settings. Fourteen English education majors were selected through random sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysis of students’ translation drafts before and after AI use. Thematic analysis was employed to identify translation behaviours, strategies, and instructional needs. Findings indicated persistent issues, including literal idiom transfer, register mismatches, and limited error detection even after AI assistance. Most participants adopted a tool-first approach with minimal revision. However, structured strategies such as guided post-editing and back-translation enhanced lexical accuracy and metalinguistic awareness. The study proposes a four-phase framework integrating AI meaningfully into translation pedagogy for improved learning outcomes.

This study investigates the implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in Indonesian higher education, focusing on how English language programs ensure alignment between Program Outcomes (POs) and Program-Specific Outcomes (PSOs). Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research synthesizes insights from curriculum frameworks, institutional policy documents, and prior empirical studies on OBE-based English language instruction. The analysis demonstrates that effective OBE implementation fosters not only students’ linguistic accuracy and fluency but also their critical reading, academic writing, and collaborative problem-solving abilities. Moreover, OBE promotes the integration of socio-cultural awareness, ethical communication, and digital competence as essential dimensions of communicative proficiency. Pedagogical innovations such as project-based learning, authentic performance assessment, and the use of digital learning environments like Google Classroom and AI-supported writing tools enable measurable learning outcomes aligned with 21st-century competencies. Nonetheless, the study identifies ongoing challenges, including limited teacher readiness, uneven institutional commitment, and misalignment between assessment instruments and higher-order learning objectives. Conceptually, this research positions OBE as a transformative educational model that shifts English language teaching in Indonesia from content transmission to outcome-oriented learning. It further emphasizes the importance of continuous curriculum review and systematic professional development to sustain its successful implementation. The findings provide both theoretical reinforcement for constructive alignment in curriculum design and practical guidance for English language educators in advancing quality assurance within higher education.

Amid the national curriculum reform emphasizing communicative competence and digital integration, this study evaluates its impact on English language achievement across school levels in Indonesia. The study aims to analyze the effects of recent curriculum modifications on students’ English language performance across different grade levels. A quantitative approach was employed, involving 900 respondents consisting of elementary school students (grades 4–6), junior high school students (grades 7–9), and senior high school students (grades 10–12). Using a stratified random sampling technique, data were collected through validated instruments with reliability confirmed at Cronbach’s α > 0.70, ensuring consistent measurement. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD post-hoc test, and multilevel analysis. The results revealed an upward trend in English scores across higher grade levels, with the lowest mean score among elementary students (M = 65) and the highest among senior high school students (M = 72). The ANOVA test indicated significant differences among grade levels (F = 39.0, p < 0.001) with a medium effect size (η² = 0.08). The Tukey post-hoc test showed substantial differences between elementary and higher levels, while the difference between junior and senior high schools was relatively small. Multilevel analysis further revealed that 12% of the variance was attributable to teacher- or school-level factors, while individual differences remained the dominant contributor. These findings confirm that curriculum modifications significantly enhance students’ English language learning outcomes, particularly during the transition from elementary to secondary education.

This study revisits the role of translation in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms by examining teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and readiness under Kurikulum Merdeka, Indonesia’s new national curriculum. Fifty English teachers from various secondary schools in Palembang participated in this mixed-method research, which utilized an online questionnaire combining closed- and open-ended items to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The findings reveal that most teachers perceive translation as an integral component of English instruction, particularly for enhancing students’ writing and reading proficiency. While grammar-oriented translation remains dominant, there is a noticeable shift toward meaning-focused and communicative translation practices aligned with task-based learning. This pedagogical transition reflects teachers’ efforts to reconcile traditional accuracy-based instruction with the communicative emphasis of Kurikulum Merdeka. Despite recognizing translation as a complex and demanding approach, the majority of teachers demonstrate strong willingness to integrate it into their teaching, signifying high professional commitment and openness to innovation. The study highlights that translation-based learning serves not only as a bridge between linguistic knowledge and real-world application but also as a tool for developing intercultural competence and reflective teaching practices. These findings underscore the importance of sustained institutional support and targeted professional development programs to strengthen teachers’ pedagogical competence in translation and ensure effective curriculum implementation within Indonesia’s evolving EFL landscape.

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Memrise application in enhancing students’ English vocabulary mastery in an Indonesian EFL context. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 60 high school students were divided into two groups: an experimental group that received instruction through Memrise and a control group taught with conventional methods. Both groups were assessed using pre-tests and post-tests, and additional data were gathered through observation checklists and student questionnaires. The results of normality and homogeneity tests confirmed that the data met the assumptions for parametric testing. A paired sample t-test revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary scores within the experimental group, while the independent sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in vocabulary gains between the experimental and control groups in favor of the former. Students using Memrise demonstrated greater engagement and consistency, and their positive perceptions further supported the application’s usability and motivational value. These findings suggest that integrating Memrise into vocabulary instruction can significantly enhance vocabulary acq uisition, offering practical insights for language educators seeking to incorporate mobile-assisted learning into the classroom.
