Abstract

When translating a message, a translator needs to identify the most equivalent natural expression in Target Language (TL). Nevertheless, it is not always feasible to discover the corresponding translation for culturally specific text. The translators frequently need various procedures to accomplish the translation tasks. This study examines the procedures used in translating Islamic terms and the most common procedures used by translators in the book "Reclaim Your Heart and its translation. The researcher employed a qualitative method for collecting descriptive data by explaining the translation procedures provided by Newmark. The data was gathered by analyzing Islamic terms in the source language (SL) and target language (TL) texts, categorizing terms according to the translation procedures used. After analyzing the data, four types of translation procedures were found in thirty-four pieces of data. They are transference, couplet, naturalization, and cultural equivalent. The most common translation procedure used in translating Islamic terms by the translator is transference. The translator maintained the English Islamic terms (SL) in Indonesian text (TL) without some linguistic changes (phonological or morphological). This approach was used for translating proper names, places, verses, the book's title, and the terms used several times in the book.

Abstract

The study aims to gain a deep and comprehensive understanding of the English learning process of students of Grade II SD N 2 Kenteng Nogosari using ethnographic method in a qualitative approach. This process includes the roles of teachers and learners. Teachers can create a good learning atmosphere, have a positive impact on students' learning and achieve optimal learning outcomes. She is also the director of individual and group activities. Learners will always feel safe because teachers care about their students throughout the independent learning process. This approach is based on assumptions about the nature of language and how language learning occurs. Learning English is about developing contextual skills and acceptable English.

Abstract

Understanding student’s language communicative behaviors is crucial to explain why some students might have more willingness to communicate (WTC) when they are learning English than other students. WTC is one important factor contributing to student’s success in developing their speaking skills with its relation to other aspects. This study intended to examine the level of students’ willingness to communicate during a speaking class, WTC outside the classroom, communication confidence, and international posture and to see the correlation among those variables. The data were collected through a questionnaire adapted from a willingness to communicate in the L2 scale. The result shows that most Indonesian students majoring in English Education at Yogyakarta State University in the Special Region of Yogyakarta have a high willingness to communicate during a speaking class as well as international posture. Furthermore, half of the students have high and moderate willingness to communicate outside the classroom and communication confidence. However, there is only one correlation among those variables that is found significant which is a correlation between WTC during a speaking class and communication confidence. Since this study did not find any participant who had a low rank for all the variables tested, this study has limitations in explaining the path from low to high level of the four variables.

Abstract

Since the issuance of the 2013 curriculum (K13), many Islamic senior secondary schools (MA) offer English as Cross Interest Subject (EaCIS) in addition to compulsory English subject (CES). The subject is designed to help students expand their English language competence beyond their major courses and what they have learnt from CES. Due to a reduction in the number of hours allocated for CES in the K13, teaching EaCIS has become a way for certified English language teachers to accrue the required hours to receive certification payment. This qualitative study was designed to understand teachers' perceptions and experiences of teaching EaCIS and shares the findings from the interview and focus group data collected from six English language teachers teaching at state Islamic senior secondary schools (MAN) in Indonesia. Findings reveal that whilst EaCIS provides an opportunity for teachers to improve student's English abilities, none of the participants received support to teach it. Whilst it is acknowledged that this is a small study and the findings cannot be generalised to the broader population of teachers responsible for teaching EaCIS, the experiences shared by participants provide valuable and interesting insights into curriculum change. Recommendations for improving the implementation of EaCIS and the future design of curriculum change initiatives in Indonesia are discussed.Keywords: English as Cross Interest Subject, teacher experiences, teacher perceptions, curriculum change, K13 curriculum

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how deeply ingrained common sense can become as a hegemonic tool of the dominant group, normalizing and naturalizing ideas to the point where they feel like accepted and indisputable realities that can guide actions and thoughts, while also influencing social interactions and identity formation of subaltern groups. This study uses qualitative and descriptive analysis methodologies within the theoretical framework of Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, it is centered on the novel The Sellout by African-American author Paul Beatty that focuses on the interactions and characters in the novel to see how common sense acts as a hegemonic tool that upholds the beliefs, values, and viewpoints of dominant groups. The researcher discovered around forty-two instances of the concept of "common sense" function in the novel The Sellout. However, the total may surpass this figure based on broader interpretations. The researcher picked nine cases that were most pertinent to the research aims of this article. This study found that the novel The Sellout, when analyzed using qualitative and descriptive methods in the context of Antonio Gramsci's approach, successfully captures the function in which common sense acts as a hegemonic tool for upholding the beliefs, values, and viewpoints of dominant groups and, as a result, can influence social dynamics and personal identities

Abstract

In the contemporary era, discussions around gender equality and women's representation had gained significant traction, emphasizing the need for equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. This research explored the portrayal of feminist values through the movie “Losmen Bu Broto,” directed by Ifa Isfansyah and Eddie Cahyono. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic framework, the research analysed how the movie represented feminism by examining the characterization of its female protagonists, including Bu Broto, Mbak Pur, and Jeng Sri. The movie, adapted from a TV series and set in a traditional Javanese context, was notable for its strong female characters who challenged societal norms. This research employed qualitative research methods, including detailed scene analysis and character examination, to investigate how these characters embodied feminist ideals. The analysis focused on various feminist theories, including Radical Feminism; Marxist and Socialist Feminism; Liberal Feminism; Black Feminism; and Postmodern Feminism, to understand how the movie's narrative reflected and critiqued traditional gender roles. The findings revealed that “Losmen Bu Broto” presented a nuanced portrayal of feminist values, illustrating women's strength, independence, and resistance to patriarchal structures. Through its characters' appearances, dialogues, and actions, the movie navigated the intersection of feminism and Javanese culture, highlighting both the challenges and advancements in the representation of women. This research contributed to the broader discourse on feminism in media by providing a comprehensive examination of how feminist ideologies were depicted and challenged within a culturally specific context

Abstract

Differentiated learning is crucial in the independent curriculum to fulfill the diverse students’ needs. By adjusting instruction to individual learning styles and abilities, teachers can optimize learning outcomes. However, challenges such as limited resources and teacher capacity hinder its effective implementation. To overcome these challenges, teachers must employ effective classroom management, receive ongoing training, and foster collaboration with parents. By implementing differentiated learning, particularly in subjects like English, teachers can improve student engagement, motivation, and ultimately, their overall language proficiency. The aim of this research is to implement differentiated learning in adjective material in VII C students of SMP Negeri 1 Ungaran. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with research subjects in class VII C of SMP Negeri 1 Ungaran. The implementation was carried out for one month with a total of 34 students. In the initial stage of implementing differentiated learning, cognitive and non-cognitive diagnostic assessments are carried out. This diagnostic assessment obtains the results of grouping students based on learning styles and cognitive abilities. A total of 4 students were in the auditory group, 11 students were in the visual group, and 19 students were in the kinesthetic group. The result of implementing differentiated learning is that there is a positive increase in learning outcomes. In the upper class there was an increase of 33.33%, in the middle class there was no increase, and in the lower class there was a decrease of 30%
