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

The transformation of urban society and the widespread use of digital technology have deeply influenced the lifestyles of adolescents. Many urban youths are increasingly adopting modern, instant, and globally popular habits that often conflict with national cultural values. This tendency leads to a weakening of national identity, as reflected in the loss of emotional ties to local culture, limited knowledge of national history, and reduced pride in being Indonesian. This study aims to examine the characteristics of urban adolescent lifestyles, identify the challenges they pose to the development of national identity, and propose relevant strategies to strengthen civic awareness. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research highlights several contributing factors, including cultural dominance from abroad, the lack of contextual civic education, weak parental guidance, and limited exposure to positive local role models. The findings suggest that strengthening national identity requires a holistic approach: revitalizing value-based education, promoting cultural literacy, involving families, encouraging digital ethics, and collaborating with nationalist public figures. With integrated efforts, urban youth can grow as global citizens who remain proud of and loyal to their cultural roots as Indonesians.

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.
