Abstract

This study examines the effect of academic progression on EFL learning self-efficacy among English Education students at a state university in Indonesia. Although self-efficacy has been widely recognized as a key factor influencing learners’ motivation, engagement, and academic performance, limited research in the Indonesian context has explored whether confidence levels differ meaningfully across academic stages. To address this gap, the study compared the self-efficacy of second-year and third-year students using a quantitative comparative design. A total of 30 participants completed a validated Academic Self-Efficacy Scale, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability testing, assumption checks, and independent samples t-tests. The results showed that both groups demonstrated moderately high self-efficacy, with third-year students reporting slightly higher scores; however, the difference was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that academic progression alone may not substantially influence learners’ self-efficacy when instructional conditions and learning experiences remain relatively similar. The study highlights the need for providing meaningful mastery experiences and supportive pedagogical practices to strengthen self-efficacy development across students’ academic journeys in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

Translation plays an important role in bridging linguistic and cultural differences, especially in literary texts where meanings are closely connected to cultural symbols and values. However, previous studies have mainly focused on non-literary translation or the classification of translation strategies, leaving the preservation of deeper symbolic and cultural meanings in literary works underexplored. This study aims to analyze the translation strategies used in preserving culture-specific items (CSIs) in Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant and its Indonesian translation Raksasa Egois translated by Clara Ng and published by Fiksi Lotus in 2013. A qualitative comparative text analysis was employed by comparing the source text and target text to identify CSIs and examine the translation strategies applied. The findings reveal that literal translation, cultural equivalence, and adaptation were the main strategies used, with literal translation being the most dominant, particularly in ecological elements such as seasons and natural phenomena. While literal translation effectively preserves lexical meaning, it is less successful in maintaining deeper symbolic and cultural meanings embedded in the literary text. In contrast, cultural equivalence proves to be more effective in preserving religious meanings, while adaptation improves readability but reduces cultural specificity. In conclusion, the effectiveness of translation strategies depends on the type and cultural embeddedness of CSIs.
