Abstract

This research demonstrates the important role of technology in education by highlighting the potential of audiovisual techniques as learning media for primary school students. Previous research studies have shown that appropriate audiovisual presentations can improve comprehension, especially in today's children who are enthusiastic about multimedia technology. A qualitative research method using a classroom action research design was used to carry out the research procedure, while thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and evaluate the findings. The aim of this study is to evaluate one of the most effective EFL vocabulary teaching methods for primary school students, namely audiovisual translation, and to summarise the students' impressions while learning vocabulary using audiovisual translation. This research contributes to innovative EFL teaching methods by suggesting the widespread use of audiovisual translation in primary schools around the world, especially in Indonesia, based on its proven success and positive responses from students.

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating semantic errors in English to Indonesian translation using DeepL Translate, with the aim of evaluating the extent of semantic accuracy of this translation tool. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, where data is collected by observing translations during a conversation between a native English speaker and a native Indonesian speaker. Each translation was analysed using a qualitative descriptive method to identify semantic errors, which were classified into three categories: inappropriate word choice, loss of implicit meaning, and ambiguity of sentence structure. The results showed that out of 50 translated sentences, there were 15 semantic errors, with inappropriate word choice being the dominant category. The conclusion of this study is that while DeepL is capable of producing relatively good translations, its limitations in understanding semantic context remain a significant bottleneck. The study recommends further development of the automatic translation algorithm and training of users to use the technology critically and judiciously.

Abstract

Vocabulary building is a central challenge in English as a Foreign Language classrooms, especially for students with intellectual disabilities who often experience cognitive and emotional barriers in learning new words. Visual instructional media such as flashcards are frequently used to support vocabulary learning, yet their effectiveness depends on how teachers perceive and apply them in inclusive classrooms. This study aims to explore an EFL teacher’s perception of the usefulness of flashcards in supporting vocabulary building for students with intellectual disabilities. The study employed a qualitative descriptive case study design involving one EFL teacher in an inclusive junior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi structured interviews, and lesson plan analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that flashcards are perceived as useful for reducing cognitive load, fostering psychological safety, and enabling adaptive instructional tempo without lowering learning expectations. In conclusion, the study suggests that the usefulness of flashcards lies in teachers’ pedagogical reasoning and adaptive use rather than in the media itself, highlighting the importance of teacher cognition in inclusive EFL instruction.
