Abstract

Even though there are many translation aids such as online machine translation and online dictionaries that help the students in translating text from Bahasa Indonesia into English, they are not enough to make sure that the students’ translation is grammatically correct. Based on such reasons, this study aims to explore the effect of using Grammarly application as a translation tool to improve the students’ translation quality. By checking the students’ translation using Grammarly, it is found that the most common grammatical mistakes made by students are the improper use of space, misspelling, improper use of articles, tenses, and wordy words. Besides, it is also found that Grammarly has many strengths, such as: accuracy in identifying orthography issues, concern towards the wordy diction, consistency in using a certain English variant, providing its users with their personal dictionary, providing constructive feedback, and accessible in many platforms. Meanwhile, the weaknesses of Grammarly include over checking on people’s name spelling, misleading feedback, inconsistency in identifying mistakes, limited explanation, questionable “Grammar Checker”, and working just like a machine. The conclusion is Grammarly will be an excellent translation tool to improve students’ translation quality if accompanied by the students’ sufficient background skill and knowledge.

This study aimed to determine the frequency of slang words in the film Ant-Man and The Wasp, as well as the word formation processes of slang words. This study was descriptive qualitative. This study employed George Yule's theory of word formation processes (2010). The researcher identified seven types of word formation in the slang words of the Ant-man and The Wasp script: blending, borrowing, clipping, multiple-process, compounding, conversion, and coinage. The data was collected from slang words found in the script of the movie. This study indicated that clipping was the most frequent form of word formation, representing for 29.60% of all occurrences. It was followed by coinage and blending, each representing for 22.53% of the total. It was then followed by compounding and borrowing at the same rate of 8.45%, as well as conversion at the rate of 7.04%. With a mere 1.40 percent as a result, multiple-process is the least frequent.

Abstract

This research is an analysis of two contemporary poems, Warned (Stults, 2015), and Our Mother Earth (Isham, 2008). This analysis aims to reveal human greed which leads to the destruction of nature from nature overexploitation in two contemporary poems. This analysis aims to reveal the issue of human greed towards excessive exploitation of nature which leads to the destruction of nature in the three contemporary poems. This analysis looks at human greed which is shown through the point of view of poetry. This analysis mainly uses the eco-criticism concept proposed by Cheryll Glotfelty and is also supported by other eco-criticisms. The use of the concept is based on the interpretation of the text and the context of the poem. This analysis also uses many poetry fiction tools to help the writer analyze the text. The results show that human greed still dominates the results of the destruction of nature and the low awareness of mankind to realize that they need to help the world for a better future.
