Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the translation equivalence of English agribusiness terminology and its Indonesian equivalents used in the English for Agribusiness learning materials at Universitas Timor. The research employed a descriptive qualitative case study design. The data consisted of fifty English agribusiness terms and their Indonesian translations collected from instructional materials used in the Agribusiness Study Program. The data were analyzed by integrating Baker’s word-level equivalence, Nida’s dynamic equivalence, and Koller’s denotative equivalence to evaluate lexical, conceptual, and communicative correspondence between the source and target languages. The findings revealed that 19 terms (38%) of the terms were categorized as equivalent, while 29 (58%) were classified as partially equivalent, and 2 terms (4%) were classified non-equivalent translations were identified. The equivalent translations successfully preserved the lexical meaning and agribusiness concepts of the source terms, whereas the partially equivalent translations involved lexical additions to improve clarity and naturalness in Indonesian without altering the intended meaning. The study concludes that the English for Agribusiness learning materials at Universitas Timor provide a high level of translation equivalence and effectively support students' comprehension of specialized agribusiness terminology in English for Specific Purposes (ESP).

Abstract

This community service activity aims to strengthen English literacy in early childhood through instructional activities involving fruit salad making at the Chalisaturahmi Luqman Hakim Foundation in Medan. Participants consisted of 12 kindergarten students and 6 accompanying parents. The method used was participatory learning with a learning by doing approach, covering the stages of preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. Children were introduced to basic English vocabulary related to fruit names, colours, flavours, and simple instructions through the direct practice of making fruit salad. The pre-test and post-test evaluations showed an increase in English literacy skills with an average N-gain score of 0.6 (moderate category). Although the improvement was at a moderate level, this activity was able to foster enthusiasm in children, improve fine motor skills, build self-confidence, and maintain healthy living habits. This program also involved teachers and parents so that it could be continued at school and at home. Thus, this activity is relevant to support foreign language proficiency from an early age, in line with a curriculum that emphasizes active, creative, and fun learning, as well as being a model of contextual learning that can be replicated at various levels of education.
