Abstract

Technological advances have made the ability to translate no longer exclusively belong to humans. Today, machine translation has turned into a tool with superior performance to convert text between languages without the need for human intervention. One of the translation research foci is the studies of causative translation, especially from English to several other languages. Yet, it might be interesting to compare the translation of that topic by human and machine translation. This study investigates the comparison of Google Translate and humans in terms of causative translation from English into Indonesian. The data were obtained from six English novels and their translations in Indonesian. To analyze the data, 100 clauses with causative have and get were selected from English novels and translated by Google Translate into Indonesian. The result showed that the translation and strategies used between Google Translate of causative have and get had similarity with human translation in relation to causative-to-causative translation. Through the investigation, the result is expected to be beneficial for further studies in the translation of causative have and get related to their translations into Indonesian analytic or morphological causative. Furthermore, the result of strategies compared is expected to be beneficial to the translation study regarding machine and human translation in causative, especially from English into Indonesian.

Abstract

This study examines high school students' beliefs about studying English, particularly their perceptions of language intelligence, aptitude, and age sensitivity in language learning. A total of 87 Year 12 students from a boys' school in Northeastern Thailand voluntarily participated in a pre- and post-intervention online language mindset questionnaire adapted from Lou and Noels' Language Mindset Inventory and wrote a reflective journal to capture their insights on English language learning. The intervention, the Language Mindset Toolkit, was a structured program designed to promote a growth mindset in language learning through six sessions primarily conducted in English with Thai subtitles. The quantitative results indicated that students maintained strong growth-oriented beliefs regarding language intelligence and aptitude, with only minor and statistically insignificant changes after the intervention. However, beliefs about age sensitivity in language learning declined, suggesting that students became more aware of potential challenges in learning languages at different life stages. Despite minimal quantitative shifts, qualitative findings revealed that students valued encouragement, self-efficacy, and the role of mistakes in learning. Many students reported increased confidence and motivation, reinforcing that growth mindset principles contribute to resilience and engagement in language learning. The study highlights the need to continuously reinforce growth mindset principles through instructional practices and teacher feedback. Future research should explore long-term interventions and contextual factors that influence students’ language mindset development, particularly in multilingual educational settings where language learning challenges vary widely.

Abstract

Speaking is very crucial for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. However, many students find it challenging to master due to the use of improper teaching and learning approaches. Research suggests that one teaching method that can effectively help to solve the problem is a strategy of the collaborative learning approach called Think Pair and Share (TPS). This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using TPS on English-speaking skills for students at SMPN 117 Jakarta. Using a quasi-experimental design, this study involved 72 eleventh graders who were divided equally into the control group and the experimental group. Data was collected using pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The results showed there was a significant effect of using TPS on students' English-speaking performance but no significant difference between the speaking scores of male and female students, indicating that both male and female students benefit equally from TPS use. Based on the results, EFL teachers are recommended to implement this technique to help students develop their speaking performance.
