Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of using the Padlet application to improve writing skills through self-study. Self-directed learning methods are becoming increasingly important in today's educational landscape, with technology acting as a key driver. This study engages students in educational settings to apply independent learning using padlets in developing their writing skills. This research was conducted through a qualitative approach with a classroom action research design. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and document analysis of the activities carried out by students in the learning environment. The results of the study show that the use of the Padlet application is effective in stimulating student learning independence and active participation in the development of writing skills. This app provides an interactive platform that facilitates collaboration, reflection, and feedback between students and other teachers. The results of this study have important implications for the design of learning strategies that encourage student independence and develop writing skills. In addition, this research also highlights the role of technology in creating innovative learning environments and supporting student academic growth. Thus, the application of the Padlet application in independent learning can be considered as the right solution to improve students' writing skills

Abstract

The development of parallel corpora plays a crucial role in the fields of translation studies, computational linguistics, and comparative linguistics. While significant parallel corpora have been developed for major languages like English, the availability of such resources for Indonesian-English translation research remains limited. This study aims to develop a comprehensive Indonesian-English parallel corpus, specifically designed to aid translation research and enhance linguistic comparisons between these two languages. The corpus is intended to serve as a foundational resource for further studies on machine translation, linguistic patterns, and cross-linguistic influence. The research adopts a corpus-driven methodology, where the corpus is compiled from diverse sources, including literary texts, news articles, academic papers, and everyday discourse, to ensure a broad representation of language use. The corpus is annotated for both syntax and semantics, with a focus on aligning sentence structures and identifying key linguistic features in both languages. The analysis of the corpus reveals significant differences and similarities in sentence structure, word order, and translation equivalence between Indonesian and English. The findings highlight the potential of the corpus to facilitate various types of linguistic research and translation studies. It serves as a valuable tool for enhancing the quality of machine translation systems and provides insights into the challenges of translating between Indonesian and English.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation competence of students in the English Education Program at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo and examines its implications for the development of the Translation course syllabus. Translation plays a critical role in education by bridging theoretical understanding and practical application, yet students often struggle with linguistic and cultural accuracy. Employing a mixed methods sequential explanatory design, the study was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved the quantitative analysis of students’ translation errors from the textbook Factfulness, focusing on morphological, syntactic, semantic, and cultural aspects. The second phase involved qualitative interviews to explore students’ translation strategies and cognitive processes. The findings revealed 285 translation errors, with semantic (121) and syntactic (78) errors being the most prevalent. Morphological (58) and cultural (28) errors were also significant, indicating challenges in structural adaptation and intercultural mediation. The qualitative data further highlighted students’ reliance on literal translation and limited metalinguistic awareness. These results underscore the need to reformulate the Translation course syllabus to emphasize dynamic equivalence, cultural competence, and contextual meaning. Recommendations include integrating process-based translation instruction, error analysis, and reflective translation practice to enhance pedagogical effectiveness.

Abstract

Semantic mapping is a widely recognized strategy in English language learning, particularly in the development of writing skills. Despite its proven effectiveness, limited attention has been given to its use at the pre-writing stage, especially in paragraph writing. This study aims to explore the perspectives of both teachers and students on the application of semantic mapping during the pre-writing phase and to identify the benefits and challenges associated with its implementation. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving two teachers and seventeen students from Muhammadiyah Junior High School in Gorontalo City. The findings revealed that both teachers and students held positive views about using semantic mapping before writing. They reported various benefits, although they also faced several challenges, particularly related to time constraints and students’ preparedness. The results of this study suggest that semantic mapping remains a valuable instructional tool that can be further developed and effectively integrated with emerging educational technologies.

Abstract

Evidence on how YouTube contributes to children’s second language (L2) acquisition remains limited, particularly in early childhood settings. This study examines the impact of YouTube and the factors shaping L2 learning among children. Using an exploratory descriptive approach with two participants aged 3 and 5, the study indicates that guided exposure to target-language YouTube content may support incidental gains in vocabulary, common expressions, and context-appropriate language use. Several factors appear to be associated with outcomes: (1) age, with preschoolers showing readiness to uptake novel forms; (2) presentation and input quality, including curated resources and caregiver support; (3) children’s intrinsic motivation to view and imitate; and (4) first-language (L1) influence, which can both facilitate and constrain transfer to L2. The findings suggest that parents and educators should provide active mediation, select developmentally appropriate content, and pair media exposure with offline interaction to enhance the meaningfulness of input. Given the small scale of this study, conclusions should be interpreted cautiously; future research with larger samples and stronger designs is recommended to validate and extend these preliminary insights.
