Abstract

Translation is important for people who don't know a foreign language. Translators face challenges, but use of techniques like translation shifts can make translations sound more natural and effectively communicate the original meaning to the target audience. This research aims to identify the types of translation shifts used in the Indonesian subtitle of Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant movie and to identify the possible reasons the translators used translation shifts in this movie. The research applied the theory of translation shift proposed by Catford to analyze the data. It used descriptive qualitative methods and the data is from the movie subtitle of Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant. The researcher used the Oxford Dictionary and Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI) applications as instruments for analyzing the data, and to ensure the analysis results. The analysis found that the Indonesian subtitles for Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant movie included all types of shifts as proposed by Catford's theory. The shifts identified in the Indonesian subtitles included level shifts and category shifts (including structure shift, unit shift, class shift, and intra-system shift). However, among these shifts, category shifts especially unit shifts, were the most dominant. The translator probably used these translation shifts due to cultural and linguistic differences, time constraints, and creative translation choices.

Abstract

Inspired by the story of Margaret Garner, Toni Morrison’s Beloved revolves around the story of Sethe, among those of other slave mothers, and her struggle to experience motherhood against the horrors and terrors of slavery and white exploitation. In light of Lacanian theory, this study deals with the traumatic nature of motherhood in the institution of slavery, while exploring the unconventional m(other) portrait drawn by Morrison in her novel. Connectedly, drawing on Stuart Hall’s insights about the issues of identity and belonging, this paper also investigates the role of the trauma resulting from lost motherhood in the loss of the African motherland and the molding of the African-American identity.

Abstract

Anxiety is known as foreign language anxiety when correlated to the learning of foreign languages. Animated educational videos can serve as excellent instruments for visually facilitating the courses. Although recent studies discussed the benefits of using video in educational activities and other similar subjects, only a few findings focused on the impact on EFL learners’ Foreign Language Anxiety. To provide a thorough description of the occurring phenomenon from the perspective of the research participants, the researchers used a qualitative approach. On the grounds of this, the researchers used convenience sampling as the preferred technique in collecting the sample, particularly comprehensive sampling. The research participants were 12 students of at the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) of Sanata Dharma University. The data were collected through an online survey using an open-ended questionnaire and an online interview. The findings revealed that there were two results based on this research. First, the use of animated educational videos both increases anxiety and reduces anxiety. Nonetheless, it was also found that the animated educational videos did not boost nor decrease EFL learners' anxiety about foreign languages. Second, the researcher found that topic and video editing were the aspects that influenced the EFL learners.

Abstract

The paper explores the themes of Heroism and Bravery, which are abundant in Fantasy literature. With reference to the existing literature, these concepts are defined and differentiated, and their relevance in Fantasy literature is delineated. A close reading of Neil Gaiman’s Fantasy novel, Coraline (2002), is used to exemplify the use of these themes. I argue that heroism is a socially and historically constructed trope that defines the journey of the protagonist (typically, of a male “hero”), whereas bravery lies in individual acts of courage and determination in the face of danger. This line of argument is undertaken by conducting a formal and textual analysis of Coraline, providing ample references to the heroism and bravery of its protagonist, to highlight further how the novel helps its young readers deal with the realities of the world they live in.

Abstract

The current study aimed to scrutinize the approaches employed by Papuan EFL students to improve their vocabulary skills. The study utilized a mixed methods approach, incorporating both a questionnaire and interviews to gather data from 30 Papuan EFL students enrolled in a private university in Timika, Papua. The results revealed that the majority of participants employed four key strategies for vocabulary acquisition: social, memory, cognitive, and metacognitive. Notably, the memory strategy was most commonly utilized, with participants frequently associating new words with personal experiences to aid in retention. This study provided beneficial recommendations and suggestions for educators. In this sense, the findings of this study can be utilized as useful strategies to teach EFL students based on their interests. Thus, those strategies can facilitate them to achieve vocabulary mastery.
