Abstract

Academic reading proficiency is a fundamental determinant of success in higher education, particularly for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. This study examined the challenges faced by English Education Study Program students at Pattimura University when reading academic articles. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design, the research integrated quantitative survey data (n=39) with qualitative insights from focus group discussions (n=8) to examine reading difficulties, contributing factors, and strategic responses. Findings revealed a hierarchical pattern of challenges, with linguistic difficulties (M=3.31) representing the most significant barrier, followed by cognitive processing (M=2.99) and strategic processing challenges (M=2.93). Complex sentence structures (M=3.28) emerged as the dominant linguistic challenge, surpassing specialized terminology (M=3.18) and unfamiliar vocabulary (M=3.21). Reader factors (M=3.11), particularly motivational sustainability with longer texts (M=3.21), exerted slightly greater influence than contextual factors (M=2.91). Students employed diverse strategies to navigate these challenges, including pre-reading orientation, vocabulary support mechanisms, and emerging technology-assisted approaches, though collaborative reading remained underutilized. Identifying "strategic inertia"—students' reluctance to experiment with new approaches—represents a novel contribution to understanding reading strategy development in academic contexts. These findings suggest that practical approaches to developing academic reading skills must simultaneously address multiple dimensions, including linguistic features, cognitive processes, strategic approaches, and affective factors.

Abstract

This research aimed to discover how students used Google Translate (GT), their refinement efforts, and their perceptions towards using GT in The Translation Class. The research participants were students in The Translation Class of the English Education Study Program at Pattimura University in the academic year 2022/2023. An explanatory sequential mixed method design was used in this study. The qualitative data were obtained from observation and interview and analyzed using thematic analysis. Meanwhile, the quantitative data was obtained from a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that students mostly used GT to facilitate translation tasks, especially for assignments, learning materials, and new vocabulary. In the classroom, GT was allowed for assignments but prohibited during exams, while students were free to use it at home. Students usually try to translate independently before using GT. They recognized the limitations of GT and made efforts to confirm and improve the translation. Despite these shortcomings, students maintained positive perceptions regarding the usefulness of GT in the Translation Classroom. These findings highlight differences in students' attitudes and perceptions towards GT and its role in translation classrooms.
