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.

Abstract

This research aimed to assess the effect of Picture Series on reading comprehension among eighth-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar, based on the theory by King and Stainley. A quantitative methodology was employed, focusing on the eighth-grade population for the academic year 2024/2025. The sample consisted of two classes: VIII-5 as the experimental group, which included 31 students taught using Picture Series, and VIII-6 as the control group, also with 31 students, who were taught using the Monothone strategy. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests. The experimental group had a mean pre-test score of 66.93, which increased to 82.74 in the post-test, while the control group improved from 63.70 to 72.09. The t-test result was 4.535, exceeding the t-table value of 1.671 at a 5% significance level. This led to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho), indicating that Picture Series significantly enhances reading comprehension among eighth-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar.
