Abstract

The aims of this linguistic study was to appraise: the participant' feelings on teacher approach to educating in academic writing process, the weak and strong points of the model applied during the teaching academic writing in EMP and, and the participants' linguistic ideas and impressions at applying new ways, for material delivery of EMP.Data were released based on chosen variables: their occupation, year of education, and knowledge with writing techniques discovered that there were no important statistical differences at (a = 0.05) in the use of educational techniques. There are statistically important differences in using educational techniques units because of the year of teaching adaptable, in favors of, the third and fourth year academics.  The findings also, disclosed that there are statistically significant differences in using technique units due to the practice with other variable, in favors of academics with no techniques use practice.  The linguistic techniques can thus assist higher education programmers to identify, track, monitor, and treat at the university to educate, for teaching and learning medicine to strive in educating specialized writing. Given the linguistic benefits, it seems indispensable to apply the advantages of the survey, because studying hard to develop the technique, and implementing them in academic writing education is a theory.

Abstract

This research examines the dynamics of communication within English Language Teaching (ELT), concentrating on the communication techniques utilized by educators, the obstacles encountered by both teachers and students, and how these elements affect student engagement and language learning. By employing a mix of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, the study reveals that effective communication techniques, such as interactive activities, technology use, and non-verbal cues, greatly improve learner involvement and create a nurturing learning atmosphere. However, challenges like cultural differences, diverse language proficiency levels, and anxiety associated with language use were recognized as factors that can disrupt effective communication. The findings show a strong relationship between better student outcomes and the use of effective communication techniques, indicating that language proficiency develops more robustly When learners feel supported and involved. This study adds to the body of knowledge on communication in ELT by offering helpful suggestions for teachers looking to improve their methods. It highlights the necessity of a more inclusive strategy that takes into account the various needs of children and creates a supportive learning environment in the classroom. The investigation of communication dynamics in remote and hybrid learning contexts, which have grown in importance in modern education, is one of the recommended future study avenues.

Abstract

As formed by God, humans are born as individuals, but as their nature changes and evolves, they become social beings. Why? Because humans require the support and aid of others from the moment of their birth till their death. Humans are unique in their nature, character, interests, and desires in daily life. There are differences between these human interests and aspirations. The relationship between two people will be disrupted if their interests and desires are not the same or even conflicting. This will disrupt the community's peace and security if it is allowed to continue for an extended period of time. Community behavior that conforms to the rules, regulations, and cultural standards is therefore necessary in the community.

Abstract

Modern globalisation has transformed the field of translation, requiring skills that go beyond traditional linguistics. Using frameworks such as the European Master's in Translation (EMT) and literary analysis, this research explores how digital transformation, cultural convergence and market forces have reshaped translator competence. The findings show that translators must maintain strong linguistic foundations while also developing technological proficiency and intercultural mediation skills. Translators now act as cultural bridgebuilders, navigating complex contexts that require specialised knowledge, technological adaptability and market awareness. The study emphasises the importance of interdisciplinary education and adaptable learning in preparing translators for 21st century challenges, highlighting the need for skills such as collaborating with AI program, advanced intercultural communication and adapting multimodal content. The study contributes an updated competency framework that balances technological progress with the human element of translation. Comprehensive professional development strategies are proposed that respect both traditional craftsmanship and innovative methodologies in today's interconnected world.

Abstract

The findings of this study demonstrate that achieving true equivalence in machine translation, particularly when dealing with literary texts like Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, presents a range of complex challenges. Through a detailed comparison based on Mona Baker’s theory, the analysis identifies frequent issues at the lexical, grammatical, textual, and pragmatic levels. Google Translate, despite its efficiency in generating rapid translations, often fails to accurately render expressions with cultural significance, nuanced emotional tones, and figurative language. Idiomatic phrases, in particular, tend to be translated literally, stripping them of their intended meanings and stylistic impact. Grammatical inconsistencies are also observed, such as incorrect tense usage, awkward word order, and the omission of important syntactic elements, all of which compromise the clarity and naturalness of the target text.Textual cohesion and pragmatic appropriateness are similarly affected. Translated segments sometimes lack logical flow or contextual relevance, which hinders readers’ comprehension and disrupts the immersive experience that is essential to literary storytelling. The absence of cultural sensitivity in translation is especially evident in references unique to the source culture, which are either misinterpreted or rendered in ways that do not resonate with the Indonesian audience. These recurring challenges highlight the limitations of relying solely on machine translation tools for literary works, where meaning is layered and context-dependent. Although machine translation can serve as a useful preliminary tool, its outputs require extensive human intervention to ensure both linguistic accuracy and cultural fidelity. The study ultimately emphasizes the need for integrating post-editing practices into translator training programs, not only to improve translation quality but also to develop students’ analytical skills and intercultural competence in handling complex texts in the digital age.

Abstract

The effectiveness of register-based machine translation (MT) is assessed in this research using text categorization methodologies. Given that different registers call for different translation strategies—formal, informal, academic, or conversational—the objective of this study is to assess how well MT systems adapt to various registers. A dataset of texts from different domains that had been translated using an MT engine was classified using supervised machine learning methods to determine register-specific correctness and appropriateness. The evaluation focuses on linguistic features, translation accuracy, and register consistency. The results demonstrate that register-aware MT significantly improves translation quality and contextual relevance, especially in the academic and professional domains. The findings show how text classification may be integrated into MT evaluation frameworks to enhance output quality and guide future system development. This supports the register itself as one of the essential components that must be included in register-based machine translation assessment.

Abstract

The translation profession has undergone a significant transformation in the era of globalization and technological advancement. This literature review explores how translator competencies have evolved in response to the increasing integration of digital technologies and the growing demand for cultural mediation. Drawing on 20 recent scholarly works published between 2021 and 2025, the study identifies key changes in translator knowledge and skills, including the integration of computer-assisted translation tools, post-editing of machine translation, and the need for specialization in specific fields. Additionally, the study examines how translator training programs in higher education have adapted to meet these new demands by incorporating technological modules, promoting soft skills, and aligning curricula with global market expectations. The findings suggest that while progress has been made, significant gaps remain between academic preparation and professional realities. Greater collaboration between institutions and industry stakeholders is essential to ensure that future translators are equipped with both the technical and intercultural competencies required in the 21st century. The study highlights the importance of ongoing curriculum reform, critical digital literacy, and lifelong learning in shaping the next generation of translation professionals.
