Abstract

The rapid development of machine translation tools has revolutionized the way language barriers are overcome. However, the accuracy of these tools, particularly when translating complex sentence structures, remains a subject of interest. This study, compares the translation accuracy of two widely used tools, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, focusing specifically on English complex sentences. The analysis evaluates their performance based on linguistic accuracy, syntactic structure preservation, and semantic clarity. Findings from this study, aim to provide insights into the strengths and limitations of these tools particularly on the translation accuracy for academic and professional translation purposes.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of English language assessment based on five core language testing principles: practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity, and washback. The research was conducted at SMA N 1 Siantar, involving 25 eleventh-grade students. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining quantitative data from test scores (multiple-choice and essay) with qualitative insights from observation and rubric-based evaluation. The results show that the assessment was feasible and manageable in the classroom setting. Reliability was high for most components, although the listening section revealed weaknesses in validity. Authentic tasks increased student engagement, while positive washback was observed through enhanced teaching practices and student motivation. These findings demonstrate that principled language assessment, when integrated into the classroom context, can meaningfully support student learning and teaching effectiveness. However, challenges related to item construction and classroom logistics suggest the need for further refinement in future implementations.
