Abstract

Even though there are many translation aids such as online machine translation and online dictionaries that help the students in translating text from Bahasa Indonesia into English, they are not enough to make sure that the students’ translation is grammatically correct. Based on such reasons, this study aims to explore the effect of using Grammarly application as a translation tool to improve the students’ translation quality. By checking the students’ translation using Grammarly, it is found that the most common grammatical mistakes made by students are the improper use of space, misspelling, improper use of articles, tenses, and wordy words. Besides, it is also found that Grammarly has many strengths, such as: accuracy in identifying orthography issues, concern towards the wordy diction, consistency in using a certain English variant, providing its users with their personal dictionary, providing constructive feedback, and accessible in many platforms. Meanwhile, the weaknesses of Grammarly include over checking on people’s name spelling, misleading feedback, inconsistency in identifying mistakes, limited explanation, questionable “Grammar Checker”, and working just like a machine. The conclusion is Grammarly will be an excellent translation tool to improve students’ translation quality if accompanied by the students’ sufficient background skill and knowledge.

Abstract

A text is a product of the cognitive representation of its producer, including literary and translation texts. To identify the influence of this cognitive background, this research aims to explore shifts in the field of experience in the translation of novels by identifying participants constructing the field. The study utilizes a qualitative method with the IDEATION framework from Systemic Functional Linguistics, specifically taxonomic relations theory. A parallel corpus is used, extracted from excerpts of the Indonesian novel "Perahu Kertas" and its English translation titled "Paper Boats." The investigation is conducted using the AntConc software as a corpus processing instrument. The data for this research includes nouns categorized into concrete, abstract, and metaphoric entities. The results reveal two crucial findings. Firstly, everyday concrete entities dominate in both data. Secondly, there is a shift in the translation process of selected nouns, indicated by differences in the types and frequencies of entities between the two datasets. Besides the differences in the field of experience backgrounds of each text producer and the use of translation procedures, the two findings also suggest systematic differences in each language that influence the translator’s choices and decisions underlying these shifts. This research provides a deeper understanding of the translation process and its impact on the representation of entities in the literary context Kata kunci: entitas, field of experience, korpus, taxonomic relations.

Abstract

The difference between a common translation and user interface localization for a technology product has raised big questions regarding the implementation of its translation strategy. This research attempts to answer this inquiry by analyzing the tendency of translation strategies used in the localization process for social media Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Youtube from English to Indonesian. The method used in this translation is qualitative descriptive, focusing on the text elements in the user interfaces from all three social media. The data were collected through a direct exploration of all three social media user interfaces in both English and Indonesian versions. The data from this research are in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences presented in each user interface. From the data analysis, it is concluded that the most dominant translation procedure in the localization process of all three social media is naturalization. Meanwhile, the method and ideology applied are semantic translation and foreignization. This finding provides insight into the importance of translation strategies in localization for social media applications and how this process affects Indonesian users' experience. The results of this research also provide that every localization process does not have to be dominated by a domestic translation strategy as the name suggests. In fact, most technology product localization is translated with a foreignization approach to maintain consistency across platforms.

Abstract

The School Literacy Movement (Gerakan Literasi Sekolah, GLS) has been implemented in Indonesia for nearly nine years, and its effectiveness needs to be evaluated. This study aims to determine the correlation between literacy activities and students’ academic achievement at SDN Bojasari Wonosobo. A descriptive quantitative approach was used, involving 58 students from grades IV and V as participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that literacy activities do not significantly influence students’ academic achievement. The literacy program was found to be less effective due to the following factors: (1) students focus more on summarizing than on understanding the content, (2) not all teachers provide follow-up activities, either written or verbal, (3) some students lack the ability to apply reading strategies, (4) many students do not use appropriate strategies to comprehend texts, and (5) few students use non-textbook resources to enrich their knowledge.

Abstract

This research seeks to investigate how well sixth graders at SD Negeri 064976 grasp the Past Tense as a component of their foundational English grammar skills. A group of 20 students took part in the lesson and completed a test aimed at evaluating their comprehension of verb alterations and their capacity to form sentences in the past tense. The results reveal significant differences in the students' grasp of the subject matter. Ten percent of the students scored in the high range, forty percent were in the medium range, and fifty percent were classified as low. Those in the high group typically displayed a solid understanding of verb form changes and could accurately create simple past tense sentences. Meanwhile, students in the medium range showed some understanding, but they were inconsistent, particularly with irregular verbs and overall sentence structure. The students classified as low encountered more basic difficulties, such as struggling to differentiate between present and past forms and having a limited vocabulary for building sentences. These findings highlight the necessity for a more organized approach to grammar practice, planned learning sessions, and teaching methods tailored to the diverse readiness levels of students, aimed at enhancing their overall grasp of the Past Tense.

This study uses a descriptive approach by observing learning activities in the classroom and conducting simple interviews with teachers. As a result, it was found that students need more interactive learning methods, the use of visual media, and repetitive exercises to make the material easier to understand. By understanding these difficulties, teachers can adjust learning strategies to better suit the needs of grade 3 students

Abstract

Bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa asing yang krusial untuk dipelajari di sekolah mulai dari usia muda. Pada jenjang pendidikan dasar, tujuan pembelajaran bahasa Inggris adalah agar peserta didik mahir dalam kemampuan dasar seperti menyimak, berbicara, membaca, serta menulis. Salah satu elemen kunci dalam proses belajar bahasa Inggris adalah pemahaman kosakata, termasuk nama-nama hewan dan objek yang sering dijumpai dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Penguasaan ini memfasilitasi siswa untuk memahami dan berinteraksi lebih efektif dalam bahasa Inggris. Kosakata terkait hewan dan benda sangat penting karena menjadi fondasi untuk mempelajari kalimat dan dialog sederhana. Untuk memperkuat pemahaman pemahaman tersebut, pendidik harus memperkenalkan alat pembelajaran yang menarik dan menghibur. Salah satu alat yang sesuai adalah permainan edukatif, seperti Word Search Puzzle. Alat ini memungkinkan siswa belajar dasar-dasar secara aktif dan seru melalui aktivitas menebak kata yang tersembunyi dalam teka-teki. Pemanfaatan permainan edukatif ini terbukti efisien karena mampu meningkatkan motivasi dan semangat siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris. Siswa tidak merasa jenuh karena belajar sambil bermain, sehingga mereka lebih mudah menghafal kata-kata baru yang dipelajari. Dengan demikian, siswa dapat memperluas wawasan mereka secara alami dan menyenangkan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa implementasi media berbasis permainan dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris di tingkat dasar sangat penting untuk meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa.
