Abstract

This study aims to socialize the importance and benefits of the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to the eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. TOEFL is an internationally recognized English proficiency test that assesses four language skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. Among these, the Reading skill is crucial because it measures the ability to understand academic texts, identify main ideas, make inferences, and analyze information. These skills are important for students to succeed in academic environments and improve their overall English proficiency. The socialization program was conducted through seminars and interactive discussions involving 35 students at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. The program provided information about the TOEFL test format, benefits, and preparation strategies, with special emphasis on improving reading comprehension skills. Data were collected through observations and questionnaires to evaluate participants’ understanding and motivation. Results indicated that students increased their awareness of TOEFL and the significance of the Reading section. However, challenges such as limited learning resources and insufficient practice opportunities were identified. The study recommends the integration of multimedia tools and continuous guidance to help students enhance their TOEFL reading skills. This program underlines the importance of TOEFL socialization in schools to prepare students for global academic challenges.

Abstract

The background of this study focuses on the importance of accuracy in translating sentences containing lexical ambiguity. Misunderstandings often occur in cross-language understanding because each language must have a translation tool by selecting and translating sentences with many possible meanings. This study aims to analyze the results of translating Indonesian sentences containing lexical ambiguity into English using two translation engines, namely Google Translate and ChatGPT. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a content analysis approach. Data in the form of sentences containing ambiguity were collected and translated using both tools, then analyzed based on semantic theory and translation theory. The results of the study show that both translation tools are able to translate ambiguous sentences with varying degrees of success. The results of the analysis show that both Google Translate and ChatGPT have the ability to translate sentences where there is a meaning with varying degrees of success. ChatGPT tends to produce translations that are more contextual and closer to the actual meaning than Google Translate which tends to translate literally. Thus, it can be concluded that the development of translation technology must consider the ability to understand context semantically so that the translation results are more accurate and natural.
