Abstract

To This study aims to reveal the translation strategy used by Tiffany Tsao in rendering of CSIs in the novel “Paper Boats” by Dewi Lestari based on Baker's theory. This study is descriptive qualitative research. The data consist of lingual units, in the form of words or phrases, which contain culture-specific items. The source of data is taken from “Paper Boats” novel by Dewi Lestari that translated by Tiffany Tsao. The data were collected through observation and by taking notes and analyzed using the equivalent and referential methods. The findings show that there are six translation strategies used by Tiffani Tsao in rendering CSIs in Dewi Lestari's paper boats novel. Superordinate (translation by a more general word) becomes the most dominant translation strategies in rendering CSIs in this novel followed by translation using a loan word or loan word plus explanation, translation by cultural substitution, translation by paraphrase using related words, translation by paraphrase using unrelated words and translation by omission.

Abstract

Foreign language anxiety often hinders students performance, yet the role of emotional intelligence in mitigating this stress remains complex. This study aims to examine the levels of emotional intelligence (EI) and foreign language anxiety (FLA) among middle school students and determine the correlation and impact between these two variables. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 58 students from two Indonesian middle schools. Data were collected using adapted emotional intelligence and language anxiety scales, then analysed using correlation and simple regression techniques. The findings show that most students possess average emotional intelligence (53.4) and experience mild anxiety (53.5). Statistical analysis reveals a surprising positive correlation (r = 0.259), indicating that higher emotional intelligence is associated with increased anxiety levels. The regression equation, Y= 70.241 + 0.639X, confirms that EI significantly contributes to the variance in students anxiety. In conclusion, this study suggests that emotional awareness in young learners does not automatically reduce anxiety and may instead heighten their sensitivity to language learning challenges. These insights encourage educators to develop more nuanced emotional support strategies in the classroom.
