Abstract

DeepL Translate and Google Translate are two leading machine translation tools. The focus of this research is to analyze the accuracy of translation results provided by DeepL Translation and Google Translation specifically in translating English to Indonesian. This research used a qualitative approach of document analysis and interviews. The advanced neural machine translation technology of DeepL, by utilizing extensive data, enables it to recognize language nuances and provide contextually accurate translations. In contrast, Google Translate, despite having grown to be supported by hundreds of languages, often struggles with complex sentences and idiomatic expressions. DeepL's accuracy and natural-sounding translations make it a top choice for professional and detailed translations. The study concludes that DeepL's focus on quality and accuracy, rather than the breadth of language support, makes it a more reliable translation tool.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the English speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Lahewa through the implementation of a blended learning model. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this research involved 22 students, with data collected through observation, interviews, and oral tests. The findings indicate that students' speaking skills generally range from a fair to a good level. Quantitative analysis of the oral test results reveals average scores of 2.8 for pronunciation, 2.5 for grammar, 2.4 for vocabulary, 2.3 for fluency, and 3.0 for comprehension. While most students demonstrated a decent understanding of spoken English, significant challenges persist in vocabulary retention, grammatical accuracy, and fluency. Students perceive blended learning as engaging and flexible; however, they express a preference for face-to-face interaction due to the opportunity for direct speaking practice. The study concludes that although the blended learning model shows promise, it requires further optimization, particularly in designing interactive online components, to effectively enhance students' productive language skills.   ABSTRAK Studi ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris siswa kelas delapan di SMP Negeri 4 Lahewa melalui implementasi model pembelajaran campuran (blended learning). Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini melibatkan 22 siswa, dengan data yang dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan tes lisan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan berbicara siswa secara umum berkisar dari tingkat cukup baik hingga baik. Analisis kuantitatif hasil tes lisan menunjukkan skor rata-rata 2,8 untuk pengucapan, 2,5 untuk tata bahasa, 2,4 untuk kosakata, 2,3 untuk kelancaran, dan 3,0 untuk pemahaman. Meskipun sebagian besar siswa menunjukkan pemahaman yang baik tentang bahasa Inggris lisan, tantangan signifikan masih ada dalam retensi kosakata, ketepatan tata bahasa, dan kelancaran. Siswa menganggap pembelajaran campuran menarik dan fleksibel; namun, mereka lebih menyukai interaksi tatap muka karena adanya kesempatan untuk praktik berbicara langsung. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun model pembelajaran campuran menjanjikan, model ini membutuhkan optimasi lebih lanjut, khususnya dalam merancang komponen daring interaktif, untuk secara efektif meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa produktif siswa.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental aspect of English language learning, contributing significantly to students' communication skills. This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the role of songs in enhancing English vocabulary mastery. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 15 Likert-scale statements, distributed to eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Lolofitu Moi. The results indicate that most students perceive songs as an effective tool for improving vocabulary retention, motivation, and pronunciation. The engaging nature of songs makes learning more enjoyable, leading to increased interest and independent learning outside the classroom. However, some students reported that while songs help with memorization, they still struggle with applying new vocabulary in conversations. These findings suggest that songs can be a valuable supplementary learning resource, but should be combined with other interactive teaching methods for maximum effectiveness. This study provides insights for educators to design more engaging vocabulary learning strategies.
