Abstract

Considering the importance of correction (post-drafting phase) in translation process, this study aims at finding the linearity and types of self-corrections done by student translators in completing their translation tasks. Three students majoring translation studies who, in this study, were called student translators, were selected as the participants using a purposive sampling method. They were selected based on their relatively homogeneous profile following their linguistic competence including Test of bahasa Indonesia proficiency (UKBI), Test of English proficiency (TOEFL), and Test of typing speed by using TQ (TypingQueen) typing test. In the process of data collection, they were asked to translate two texts from English into bahasa Indonesia. The translation process was recorded using Translog and screen recording (Camtasia Studio 8). In doing their tasks, they were allowed to use online dictionaries and resources. The results of this study show that eight types of self-corrections were done by the student translators, including deletion, word substitution, spelling, return, addition, meaning, capitalization, and grammar, among which word substitution was most frequently used. This study also found types of word deletion that include deleting (i) unnecessary words, (ii) unnecessarily added words, (iii) incomplete words, (iv) repeated words, (v) miscollocation, and (vi) redundancy.

Abstract

The goal to be achieved in the discussion of this article is the management of unsi in the tradition of performing seni dendang Serawai in Bengkulu. The process of maintaining an oral tradition is more related to the performance of the tradition than to the presence of traditional performers. Currently, the tradition of performing seni dendang is performed by a cultural unit formed independently by the community. Unsi, as actors and executors of performances, certainly experience a management process in their organizational management. Based on the results of observations in the fields of Seluma Regency and South Bengkulu Regency, it turns out that most of the unsi do not yet have good and healthy management. The research method used is qualitative, with direct interview data collection techniques and field research. The results of the study found that there were internal and external factors that became obstacles in the development of unsi in performances seni dendang. Internal factors relate to the performance seni dendang itself, while external factors relate to the supporters of the performance seni dendang. Paying attention to the role and function of unsi is one of the important keys to caring for the tradition of seni dendang Serawai .

Abstract

Language is the main aspect of education. Improving English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ speaking skills is a crucial communication requirement. In speaking skills, aspects of speech such as pronunciation, intonation, tone, stress, and fluency are highly emphasized. Furthermore, mental processes such as understanding, reasoning, adapting, turn-taking, and responding also play an essential role in speech. Turn-taking is a hugely important thing in conversation, especially in discussion. To take a turn in conversation is a big deal. Personality should consider factors in learning a second language. Extroverts and introverts have different learning styles, which will affect their speaking English learning. This research aimed to seek the used turn-taking pattern and strategies between student extroverts and introverts. This research was conducted using a qualitative-descriptive approach design to the comprehensive summarization of specific events experienced by individuals or small peer groups. The subjects of this research were students in the English Education Department of Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya for the 2021 final examination. As a result, Extroverted students are more comfortable and eager to take the lead in initiating conversations and introverts are more comfortable in the role of responders. While introverts and extroverts utilize similar strategies for turn-taking, their implementation differs; introverts may employ structured pauses and thoughtful contributions, whereas extroverts often engage in dynamic and spontaneous exchanges to ensure active conversation participation.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate students' speaking performances in short film projects and their perspectives on these projects. The research involved seventy-seven second-semester students from three classes in the Multimedia Graphic Engineering Technology program at Politeknik Negeri Medan. This research employed a descriptive qualitative research design, collecting data through observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The study evaluates students' speaking abilities, considering indicators such as range, accuracy, fluency, interaction, and coherence. Additionally, it explores students' perspective regarding the use of short film projects as a final assessment in their English subject. The research findings indicate that the majority of students typically reach a C1 level across various speaking descriptors, demonstrating a strong command of the language with room for improvement in specific areas. From the students' perspectives, it becomes evident that short film projects offer several advantages, including the stimulation of critical and creative thinking, the promotion of teamwork, the development of technical multimedia skills, and enhanced confidence in English communication. Nevertheless, the study acknowledges the existence of challenges, such as time constraints and the need for access to equipment and resources. Nonetheless, the integration of short film projects into graphic engineering multimedia classes emerges as a promising approach to enhance English language learning while enriching students' skills and experiences.
