Abstract

This study investigates the role of technology in lesson plan design for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction within blended learning environments. Using a qualitative literature review approach, data were gathered from peer-reviewed journal articles indexed in Scopus and ERIC from 2021 to 2025. The objective was to identify the impact of digital tools on the lesson planning process and EFL learning outcomes. The findings show that platforms such as Google Classroom, Moodle, Zoom, Canva, and Web 2.0 tools are frequently utilized due to their capacity to support collaboration, personalized learning, and the impact of content delivery. The integration of technology allows teachers to design more interactive, flexible, and student-centered lesson plans that align with 21st-century educational demands. However, the study also highlights challenges such as digital literacy gaps and unequal access to technology. The results underscore the necessity for ongoing teacher training and institutional support to ensure the impact of technology integration. In conclusion, while digital tools significantly enhance EFL instruction in blended settings, their success depends on thoughtful pedagogical implementation. Future research should explore emerging technologies and address implementation barriers in diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

Song lyric translation plays a crucial role in enabling audiences to access meaning and emotional expression across languages, particularly within digital platforms such as YouTube. Despite the extensive application of Newmark’s translation methods in translation studies, limited research has specifically examined their use in Indonesian song subtitles distributed through online lyric channels. This study aims to identify the Newmark translation methods employed in the Indonesian subtitles of NIKI’s song “La La Lost You” on the Indolirik YouTube channel and to analyze how these methods convey meaning and emotional nuance from English into Indonesian. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the data were collected from the original English lyrics and their Indonesian subtitles and analyzed using Newmark’s translation method framework. The findings indicate that communicative translation is the most frequently applied method, followed by free translation, semantic translation, and faithful translation. Communicative translation is predominantly utilized to render emotional expressions, idiomatic language, and implicit meanings, while free translation emphasizes emotional states by reducing surface textual elements. Semantic and faithful translations appear in lines with relatively straightforward meanings that require minimal modification. These findings suggest that the translator prioritizes audience comprehension and emotional accessibility, reflecting the influence of YouTube as a digital consumption context and highlighting communicative translation as an effective strategy in digital song subtitling.
