Abstract

In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom settings, the rapid evolution of digital technology has had a substantial impact on educational methodologies. This paper investigates the potential of social media to improve EFL blended learning instruction, with a particular emphasis on the higher education context of Indonesia. Innovative tools for promoting student engagement, motivation, and autonomous learning are available on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Nevertheless, the implementation of these social media platforms also presents obstacles, such as potential privacy concerns, distractions, and unequal access to digital resources. This investigation examines the current body of literature regarding the utilization of social media in EFL blended learning purposes. Social media can significantly improve the EFL learning experience by offering flexible, interactive, and engaging learning opportunities when strategically implemented, according to the results. The paper concludes with suggestions for policymakers and educators to facilitate the successful integration of social media into EFL education, thereby guaranteeing that technological advancements have a beneficial impact on student learning outcomes.the other.

Abstract

Bibliometric analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding research trends in translation studies. By systematically analyzing large volumes of academic publications, bibliometric methods were able to reveal patterns and trends that might not be immediately apparent. The data for this bibliometric analysis were collected from the ScienceDirect database, https://www.sciencedirect.com/. The search focused on research articles related to translation studies published between 2015 and 2024. The keyword used was “translation” to identify relevant publications. Two main conclusions were drawn from this research. First, VOSviewer provided a global map of existing research, in this context based on the ScienceDirect database. The visualization of co-occurrences of the keyword “translation” showed that a substantial amount of research has been conducted about translation studies, such as translation related to culture, higher education, the use of questionnaires in such research, translation studies in China or France, and several other aspects. This also revealed that research on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for translation had not been extensively conducted, such as the translation using ChatGPT, Google Bard AI, DeepL Translate, and others. Second, regarding authorship visualization, the visualization provided by VOSviewer helped researchers quickly identify authors or researchers who could be referenced in translation studies.

Abstract

Academic writing plays a fundamental role in both school and university settings, serving as a primary means of communication and assessment across disciplines. This research employed a qualitative approach to investigate the challenges encountered by ESP students, particularly economics students in composing English academic essays. This research was conducted in East Java, Indonesia. The qualitative component involved the documentation, semi-structured interview, and analysis of students' English essays to ascertain these obstacles and semi structured interview. There are 10 second-semester students selected as participants of this study enrolled in the Management Study Program from one private university in East Java, Indonesia during the academic year 2023/2024. The analysis of students' essay writing problems reveals several key areas of concern. These include issues with organization (writing format), task completion, originality, content and discourse, and writing mechanics. ESP students often face challenges in academic essay writing due to gaps in specialized vocabulary, grammar, and unfamiliarity with academic conventions, exacerbated by limited practice and insufficient feedback. To address these issues, educator should provide targeted language support, integrate writing-intensive courses, offer detailed feedback, and establish accessible writing resources.

Abstract

The concept of belief stands as a cornerstone in religion, shaping personal identities and worldviews. Nick Vujicic, born with Tetra-amelia syndrome, exemplifies how profound faith can empower individuals. His journey from early familial challenges to becoming a renowned motivational speaker and evangelist is rooted in his unwavering belief in God. Vujicic's expressions of faith, documented in his writings, provide a compelling case for exploring how conceptual metaphor theory illuminates his understanding and communication of faith-related experiences. This theory suggests that metaphors structure cognition by linking abstract ideas to concrete domains, offering insights into how religious beliefs are internalized and conveyed. The aims of this study are to describe and analyze the conceptual metaphors which occur from the words “faith” in the book Be the Hands and Feet: Living Out God’s Love for All His Children, and to describe and analyze the image schema transformation from the word “faith” in the books. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method to explore the conceptual metaphors of "faith" within Nick Vujicic's books. The methodology involves searching and exploring textual passages that discuss "faith," followed by detailed analysis and classification of conceptual metaphors—specifically, ontological, structural, and orientational metaphors—identified within the text. The results of this study the author found four metaphors, namely faith is a vehicle, faith is a building, faith is a human, and faith is a journey.

Abstract

This study is intended to analyze the narrative texts involved in the tenth-grade English textbook published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture In this case, this research only focuses on mood types and speech functions. This qualitative study uses discourse analysis. The writer analyzed the data using three stages outlined by Miles and Huberman (2014). The first process is data condensation, during which the writer selects, focuses, simplifies, abstracts, and transforms. In the second phase, the author presents the data using a coding system.The final step is to draw a conclusion or verify it. The writer in this step calculated the data into percentage and gives the description to describe the percentage. From the data and the analysis has done, there are 214 clauses found in the three narrative texts in the tenth-grade English textbook published by Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. Therefore, the dominant mood used in the narrative texts in the tenth-grade English textbook published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture is the declarative mood, with a total number of 191 clauses with a percentage of 89,25%. For the speech function, the percentage of the statement clauses was 89,25% (191 statements were found). The dominant speech function used in the narrative texts in the tenth-grade English textbook. This study has some consequences for how teachers choose words while teaching. The teacher might use a precise format when instructing the students so that they recognize what the teacher is saying. Furthermore, teachers must be able to select the appropriate words while expressing, asking, offering, and demanding while teaching English to students in the classroom so that the students can understand the teachers' statements, commands, questions, and offers.

Abstract

This research focuses on the quality of translation used in the movie “The Social Dilemma” through a morphological analysis. By exploring the film as a whole and then using a purposive sampling technique, the researchers selected terms that aligned with the objectives of this study. Using the theory from Garvey and Delahunty (2010), Hana and Feldman (2013), and Zapata (2000), the researchers found 7 types of words formation, which are affixation, compounding, abbreviation, conversion, coinage, borrowing, and blending. Through the process of identification, this study found some translation quality issues by elaborating those 7 types of word formation which were explained based on Nababan, Nuraeni, and Sumardiono (2012) theory in terms of their accuracy, acceptability, and readability. This study provides readers with an understanding of the types of morphological terms used and aims to benefit future researchers.
