Abstract

This research aims to find out the method used by Angie Kilbane in translating the SL novel “Negeri 5 Menara” into TL “The Land of Five Towers” and what translation method is most dominantly used using Peter Newmark’s theory. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with content. The research instrument in data collection is tabulation. The data will be analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s theory. This research data is in the form of SL sentences and TL sentences in the novel “The Land of Five Towers”. According to the research findings, Angie Kilbane by Peter Newmark employs word-for-word, literal translation, semantic translation, adaptation, free translation, idiomatic translation, and communicative translation. Just seven of the eight methods are employed by Angie Kilbane. Meanwhile, the faithful method is not employed because it is better suited for translating official writings and has a tendency to be more rigorous when translating novels. The research results show that the most dominant translation method used by Angie Kilbane is the literal translation method emphasizing to SL. SL is the first novel that must maintain elements of Indonesian culture so that readers in TL feel the aesthetic value of culture in SL. Literal translation also has a translation method that is not too far from TL because this method only adapts the grammar in the TL.

Abstract

This research studied student motivation in light of Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System theory. There are three motivational dimensions: Ideal-L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and Language Learning Experience in this theory. According to the idea, this research studied whether individual variables (gender and school accreditations) influence students’ motivation in private senior high schools. This study used a quantitative survey research methodology. This survey included second-grade pupils from seventeen private high schools in Samarinda. 193 students were chosen as the sample using random cluster selection and random individual sampling. This research used the English Learner Questionnaire (ELQ) developed by Dörnyei and Taguchi. This study used SPSS 25 of descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The data revealed that private high school students in Samarinda were highly motivated (M = 4.27) to study the English language. In addition, a statistical analysis revealed female pupils demonstrated greater motivation than male classmates. In addition, the findings for the relationship between school accreditations and student motivation revealed that school accreditations do not predict learners’ motivation. Based on the L2 Motivational Self System, pupils at private senior high schools in Samarinda were highly motivated. Their motivation was often defined by gender, but not by educational attainment.

Abstract

The integration of culture in language classrooms is crucial to enhance students’ translingual and transcultural competence. This is particularly relevant in English Language Teaching (ELT), where English serves as a global lingua franca among multicultural users. Effective communication requires both language proficiency and cultural literacy. In Indonesia, where English is taught and learned by individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, the Ministry of Higher Education mandates the inclusion of cross-cultural subjects in teacher education. However, many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers feel unprepared to integrate cultural elements due to a lack of training and models. This essay explores the challenges of cultural integration in Indonesian teacher education, reviews related literature and case studies, and proposes strategies to enhance cultural inclusion in language teaching.

Abstract

Writing skills in English are considered challenging, particularly in academic contexts like thesis writing, where effective organization and expression are crucial. Many students used Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as Grammarly, to enhance their grammar, punctuation, and spelling. This research explored EFL students' perceptions of Grammarly in thesis writing, focusing on both the opportunities and challenges associated with its use and their responses to those. The study was conducted with final-year students at a reputable university who used Grammarly's free version, employing a qualitative design and using semi-structured interviews to get the data. Findings indicated that student perceptions of Grammarly were positive for its user-friendliness, instant feedback, and efficiency in addressing grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. The opportunities identified include immediate feedback, consistent evaluation, additional correction insights, and improved writing efficiency, all contributing positively to thesis writing quality. However, challenges such as over-reliance on AI, the necessity for manual rechecking, limitations of the free version, difficulties with tense detection, and internet connectivity issues were also reported. Students generally appreciate Grammarly's suggestion in correcting grammatical and technical challenges but have varied responses to its challenges, with some continuing to use the tool despite its shortcomings and others using similar alternative options. Suggestions for further research include comparing Grammarly with other writing assistance tools in the context of thesis writing and using quantitative methods to better assess its effectiveness. Future studies could develop diverse research instruments to enrich the findings of this research.

Abstract

This paper aims to propose practical implications of designing online speaking classrooms by presenting several issues and key aspects that need to be reevaluated by teachers or course designers. Several studies regarding factors motivating and hindering students’ speaking performance in online modes have been conducted but they do not discuss the interrelationship between each factor. Drawing from previous references, the study breaks down certain conditions that should be fulfilled if students’ positive attitudes and improved performance in online speaking classrooms should be achieved. Those conditions are related to the learning activities developed by the teacher, the choice of learning platforms, the exposure to inputs and resources, and the teacher’s preparedness for technology operation. At the end of this article, practical solutions are proposed to manage related issues and hence recommend suggestions for speaking teachers to improve more effective online classroom activities accordingly. I believe when designed effectively, online speaking classrooms can be one solution's alternative to facilitate practice regardless of learners’ education level and occupation.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill for academic success, yet many students struggle with understanding complex texts, particularly procedural texts, which require sequential comprehension. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Give One Get One (GOGO) strategy in improving students’ reading comprehension of procedure texts. The study employs a quantitative research method using a one-group pre-test and post-test design to measure students’ progress. A total of 32 senior high school students participated in the study. Students underwent three treatment sessions, with their reading comprehension assessed before and after the intervention. The findings indicate that while there was a statistically significant difference in students’ reading comprehension scores, the effect size was very weak. Post-test results showed that some students’ scores declined, suggesting that the GOGO strategy may not be effective for teaching procedural texts. The structured nature of procedure texts may have limited the interactive benefits of the strategy, leading to inconsistent improvements in student performance. These results highlight the need for educators to carefully select instructional strategies based on text type and learning objectives. While GOGO may be effective for certain text genres, it may require modification or supplementation when applied to structured texts like procedural writing. Further research should explore alternative strategies that enhance engagement while maintaining comprehension accuracy.
