<![CDATA[Background: Arabic songs have recently gained popularity among Indonesian audiences. Nancy Ajram, a Lebanese artist, is one of the most well-known singers whose songs are widely appreciated. The translation of Arabic song lyrics into English involves complex decisions regarding linguistic fidelity, emotional resonance, and cultural adaptation. Purpose: This research aims to identify the translation techniques used in each version and to analyze their implications, thereby providing a deeper understanding of how meaning, emotion, and cultural nuance are conveyed in song lyrics. Method: A qualitative descriptive approach with textual analysis was employed. Data were drawn from 17 representative verses from the original Arabic lyrics and their English counterparts on genius.com and lyricstranslate.com. Results and Discussion: To maintain naturalness and emotional impact in English, dynamic equivalence predominates, with the total usage rate 69% of both translations. Meanwhile, formal equivalence is applied selectively, accounting for 31% of both translations to preserve structural fidelity in specific phrases. The key differences between the two translations involve lexical shifts, syntactic restructuring, and cultural adaptations that alter connotations while still maintaining the overarching themes. Conclusions and Implications: This study reveals a marked preference for dynamic over formal equivalence, prioritizing emotional depth and cultural nuance over syntactic fidelity. This confirms that translating lyrics of romantic distress necessitates an interlingual approach to preserve the source text’s affective impact. Although offering a novel comparative perspective, the research is limited by its single-song scope and the exclusion of musical dimensions and audience reception.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in teaching and learning at universities is unavoidable trend in the Industry 4.0 age. This study uniquely integrates the 5E learning model with ChatGPT in a real EFL classroom context, which is till underexplored in Indonesian tertiary education. Purpose: The aims of this research are to investigate students’ perception and experience of using AI technology application in English Classes and their challenges. It focuses on the influence of ChatGPT in the five aspects of 5E learning, namely engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation, which were analyzed from questionnaire and interview. Method: The Students having experience using chat GPT of General English class at the second semester in State Islamic University Ponorogo took part in this study. This study employed mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative research approach), with data being gathered via questionnaire and interview. Results and Discussion: The finding based on students’ perception indicate that artificial intelligence can be an effective tool to aid student in English teaching and learning process. The students showed positive view of ChatGPT (M=2,7-3,02) in the learning process, including in the 5E learning model. The students felt that ChatGPT helped to increase their engagement and enthusiasm for learning English. ChatGPT not only facilitates understanding and build English language skill but also provides an interesting and interactive learning experience. However, some students meet challenges such as limiting access, signal strength, inaccurate answers, and a lack of prompts. Another challenge is AI can make some students feel lazy to learn and depend on AI tools. Conclusions and Implications: It is suggested that using AI should be followed by prompt formulation training and be done by considering other reference sources both books and journals and should be balanced with human interaction in Language Learning. By comparing several reference sources and interacting with humans, it will help students gain a broader perspective and avoid laziness of thinking and dependence on AI.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: The short story al-Ṭarīq 'abra al-Barzakh is a literary work that reflects the suffering of Sudanese refugees during the 1956–2005 conflict, which is important to study. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the forms of suffering experienced by Sudanese refugees in the short story “al-Ṭarīq 'abra al-Barzakh.” Method: This study uses a library method, with the short story al-Ṭarīq 'abra al-Barzakh as the primary data source. The analysis focuses on textual elements such as narrative, dialogue, and description. Wellek and Warren's the sociology of content of the literary work approach is used, supported by Agamben's theory of bare life to understand how the suffering of refugees is represented in the story. Result and Discussion: The results of the study show five forms of suffering, namely physical, psychological, social, existential, and spiritual. This is caused by the collapse of Sudan's socio-political structure, which places refugees in a state of bare life, namely biological existence without social or legal protection. This forces refugees to live without protection, without a country, and without access to basic needs. Conclusions and Implications: This study shows that short stories function as social documents that record the tragedy of displacement while also showing how humans are reduced to bare life in situations of war. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of literature as a medium of collective memory and a means of understanding trauma, marginalization, and the dynamics of humanity in the study of displacement.]]>
