Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 1, No 1 (2011): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Many forms of entertainment that we enjoy here in Indonesia such as movies. books, music, and even video games, often come from abroad, more specifically the U.S. Although movies and books are often officially translated and localized, this is not the case for video games. With the increasingly growing market of video games and number of gamers in Indonesia, very few games have started to be “localized” and translated into Indonesian. One such game is the Playstation 2 game Bully.All in all, the translation of the game Bully is a decent attempt to localize western video games. Seeing as the translation was not done by professional translators, the overall translation of the game was fairly good, with some problems here and there. It fulfilled its communicative purpose in the sense that the translation was comprehensible enough to play the game and understand the main story. The biggest problem lies in the translation of the dialogues that basically tells the whole story of the game. Some of the dialogues were poorly translated, especially those containing sensitive cultural materials that were difficult to translate. Even though the main story can be fairly understood in general, some of the dialogues were translated rather badly, making the flow from one utterance to the next not very smooth and disjointed at times. Keywords: translation, localization, cultural materials

Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 6, No 2 (2016): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

The National Education Regulation No. 78 Year 2009 that allows the establishment of international schools in Indonesia has given opportunity for Indonesian parents who wish to enter their children into schools with English as the medium language. Studying in English medium schools, however, poses certain challenges for the students and one of them is their academic achievement since they have to learn the school subjects in a language that they have not mastered. Nevertheless, King and Fogle (2006) and Colorado (2008) mentioned various ways parents can support their children who study in schools with the second language as the medium of instruction. The aim of this paper is to examine whether the supports from family mentioned by King and Fogle (2006) and Colorado (2008) are able to help the students perform academically in the schools with English as the medium of instruction. This study used questionnaires as the source of data with Grade 11 and 12 students of an international school as the subjects to find out whether their academic achievement in school correlates with the supports given to them. This paper will benefit those in bilingual education sectors and parents who wish to promote the use of English in their schools. This may inform them more on what it takes to make the students successful and what are required to help the students perform academically. Keywords: international schools, academic performance, supports from family

Hedging Devices in ‘Monavie Juice’ Testimony Nurdiana Nurdiana
Journal of English Language and Culture Vol 3, No 1 (2013): Journal of English Language and Culture
Publisher : Universitas Bunda Mulia

Culture has a significant influence on how people treat illnesses. Indonesians, for example, believe that traditional healing can help them cure their illnesses. One of the traditional or alternative healing booming in Indonesia is a drink made of fruit or vegetables. This kind of drink is called juice. To convince people that juice is effective enough to cure an illness and to persuade people to buy the product, persuasive testimony is needed. Linguisctically, when discussing persuasive texts, we can relate them to powerful and powerless language. According to Blankenship and Holtgraves (2005: 4), powerless language refers to the use of linguistic features such as tag questions, hesitations, disclaimers, hedges, polite forms, etc. in a text, while powerful language does not denote these features. Hedges can be words like probably, kind of, sort of, and possibly (Carli, 1990; Gibbons, Busch, & Bradac, 1991; Holtgraves & Lasky, 1999; Hosman, 1989; Hosman, Huebner, & Siltamen, 2002 cited in Durik, Britt, Reynolds, and Storey, 2008: 218). Hedges can also be words like approximately, roughly, somewhat, quite, often, or occasionally (Salager-Meyer, 1994: 154). This paper shall discuss what hedges appear in ‘Monavie or Acai Active Blend Juice’ testimony as there are many types of hedges used in different discourse. Keywords: Culture, persuasive testimony, hedging device

The objective of this research is to discover the potentiality of machine translation, in this case represented by Google Translate software, in creating equivalent for the collocations in Bahasa Indonesia as the Source Language into English.

The types of collocations refer to classifications by Imran, et.al. (2009). The research is focused on the results of the machines’ translation of specific texts which correspond to the limitation as stated previously, and its concordance to the commonly accepted usage as demonstrated in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). As a result, it is found that the translation made by Google Translate has a high frequency of occurrence and naturalness. Keywords: Collocation, Machine Translation, COCA
