Abstract

This paper discussed the translation error from a business letter made based on American Translation Association (ATA's) made by EFL Learners'. In this research, the researchers used a descriptive qualitative method. The data source in this research is two EFL Learners' who are in translation class with better English skills than other data. Data collection in this study was carried out by taking two data from a total of 36 business letter translating task data given by translation class lecturers. The data is classified based on the type of error according to ATA's Framework for Standard Error Making Classification. The results of the analysis show that there are 18 translation errors in 11 types of 26 types of translation errors with style error as the most frequently found error. Style error is the error that has the highest nominal by appearing five times out of 18 the number of errors with a percentage 27,8%. Finding errors from the two data proves that EFL Learners' who are studying translation studies still have deficiencies. Educators and students must work together so that translation errors produced by EFL Learners' can be reduced.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Rosetta Stone application on enhancing listening comprehension among eleventh-grade students at SMAN 5 Cirebon, Indonesia. English proficiency is essential in Indonesia, yet many students struggle, particularly with listening skills. The research employed a quasi-experimental design, featuring pre-tests and post-tests to assess the effectiveness of the Rosetta Stone app compared to traditional teaching methods. The results indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group, which used Rosetta Stone, with average post-test scores increasing from 63.00 to 81.00. In contrast, the control group, which received conventional instruction, improved from 60.00 to 73.00. This demonstrates that the app effectively enhances students’ listening comprehension abilities. Additionally, a questionnaire revealed that student motivation to use the Rosetta Stone app was primarily driven by its engaging features and interactive video content. A majority of students expressed that these aspects significantly contributed to their learning experience. The findings suggest that integrating technology, such as the Rosetta Stone application, can lead to improved English listening skills, offering a more dynamic and effective approach to language learning. This study highlights the potential of innovative teaching methods and technological tools in fostering better language acquisition, providing valuable insights for educators aiming to enhance English proficiency in students. Overall, the Rosetta Stone app proves to be a beneficial resource in addressing the challenges of English language learning, particularly in listening comprehension.
