Abstract

The development of digital technology today has a major impact on various aspects of human life. In bridging intercultural communication, translation has a significant role that cannot be separated from the help of technology. Technology also has brought changes in the way translation is done, including helping individual translators to increase efficiency. For example, with the help of machine translation, Google Translate continues to develop transformers and AI. On the other hand, ChatGPT, built on artificial intelligence, allows translation. Both adopt NLP. This study aims to determine the quality of the translation of both based on the TQA proposed by House. In addition, it assesses the level of similarity of the translation results and errors that occur based on the translation technique used. Translation samples were selected based on purposive sampling techniques, namely from a report chapter available on the internet in English. The samples were translated into Indonesian using Google Translate (GT) and ChatGPT (CG) and then analyzed using TQA. The results show that GT and CG have high similarities and insignificant error rates. This is possible because GT and CG continue to be developed over time to respond to and translate languages that are increasingly natural and resemble human language.

Abstract

English is essential in the hospitality and tourism industry as the primary communication tool between hotel staff and international guests. Effective English communication enhances service quality, guest satisfaction, and the hotel's reputation in the global market. However, many hotels in Indonesia face challenges in maintaining consistent English standards, particularly in mastering key service phrases. This study aims to identify essential phrases for hotel professionals, evaluate their effectiveness, and analyze factors influencing English proficiency in hospitality settings. A mixed-methods approach with qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods was used. Data were collected through field observations, interviews with hotel managers and staff, and guest satisfaction surveys. Findings reveal that international hotels in major cities like Jakarta and Bali exhibit higher English proficiency compared to developing hotels in cities such as Bandung, Yogyakarta, Medan, and Surabaya. Contributing factors to better English standards include regular training, the use of standardized service scripts, and a work environment that necessitates English communication. In contrast, developing hotels struggle with challenges such as limited formal training, inconsistent English use, and low staff awareness of key service phrases. To address these issues, this study recommends strategies including real-life scenario-based training programs, language learning technology integration, periodic mentoring and evaluation, and the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for service communication. These strategies are expected to improve hotel service communication, enhance guest satisfaction, and strengthen Indonesia’s hotel industry competitiveness on an international scale. By prioritizing English language training, hotels can create a more professional service environment, ensuring a seamless experience for international guests and fostering a strong global reputation.

Abstract

The Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model is considered effective for teaching descriptive text writing, as it helps students express their ideas and opinions more clearly. This study aims to determine the effect of the TTW model on the ability to write descriptive texts among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 155 Sayur Matinggi. The research employs a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of all 29 fifth-grade students at the school. Data were collected using written tests focused on descriptive paragraph writing, administered before and after the implementation of the TTW model. The pretest results showed an average score of 42.75, categorized as very poor, indicating that students initially struggled with writing descriptive texts. After the intervention using the TTW model, the posttest results showed a significant improvement, with an average score of 78.27, categorized as sufficient. Hypothesis testing was conducted using SPSS version 23, which yielded a t-count of 11.892, higher than the t-table value of 1.701 at a significance level of 0.05. Since the t-count exceeded the t-table value (11.892 > 1.701), the hypothesis was accepted, confirming a significant effect of the TTW model on students’ descriptive writing ability. These findings suggest that the Think Talk Write learning model effectively enhances descriptive text writing skills and can be a beneficial instructional strategy for elementary school students.

Abstract

This research addresses the speaking difficulties of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 028 Lumban Dolok during the 2024–2025 academic year, particularly in expressing ideas in formal contexts. The study aims to investigate the implementation and effectiveness of using image media in speaking lessons, focusing on improvements in vocabulary mastery, language structure, topic-content relevance, content organization, confidence, and speaking fluency. A qualitative approach was employed with a classroom action research (CAR) design, chosen because the data are qualitative and the research is conducted in a classroom setting to improve learning practices. The subjects were 17 fifth-grade students, consisting of nine boys and eight girls. The implementation of speaking instruction using image media proved highly effective. Improvements were observed across various speaking aspects, including vocabulary, structure, content relevance, and fluency. Data from three cycles of action showed an increase in students’ speaking ability ranging from 20% to 40%. The research found that image media can be integrated into speaking lessons in two primary ways: as material (selected images) and as tools (methods of delivery). Images were carefully chosen to align with students’ characteristics, with four images found sufficient per session. Instructions on how to use the images were also provided to students to support the learning process. Despite the success, a notable challenge remained: students still had difficulty using proper and formal Indonesian when telling stories. This indicates a need for continued support in language accuracy alongside media use. Overall, image media is a valuable tool in enhancing elementary students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as an effective classroom intervention to enhance critical thinking skills among junior high school students in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach with a pretest-posttest design, the intervention engaged ninth-grade students in collaborative problem-solving activities integrated into their regular curriculum. Data collected from standardized critical thinking assessments, observations, and student work showed significant improvement in students' critical thinking abilities after the PBL intervention. Specifically, students demonstrated enhanced analytical reasoning, argument analysis, and evidence-based evaluation skills, with average posttest scores rising from less critical to critical categories, reflecting improvements of over 20% across key indicators. Observations also revealed increased student engagement, collaboration, and confidence in articulating solutions. Despite challenges such as teacher preparedness, time constraints, and uneven participation, the study highlights the transformative potential of PBL in fostering higher-order thinking skills. Recommendations include targeted professional development, structured scaffolding, and leveraging technology to optimize implementation. These findings support PBL as a valuable pedagogical strategy to cultivate critical thinking, preparing junior high school students for complex problem-solving demands in the 21st century.

Abstract

This article has an objective to discuss Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory. It focuses on the concepts of denotative meaning, connotative meaning and mythological meaning and builds upon Ferdinand de Saussure’s foundational semiotics. This research has a common methodological way of writing that is by using qualitative method or library research. The result of discussion is applicable to Barthes’ theory in comprehending of sign ways to account for cultural and ideological dimensions. His model of myth as a second order of semiological systems offers a powerful frame work for comprehending the ways in which everyday objects and media carry deeper ideological meanings. Through the analysis of selected texts of media, this research postulates how denotation and connotation are exemplified and providing literal and non-literal meanings. Denotative meaning provides literal meaning, connotation gives interpretative depth or individual meaning, as myth naturalizes ideological construction and it becomes part of artificial meanings. This article makes the conclusion that Barthes’ theory of semiotics is essential for critically decoding message in contemporary media culture.

Abstract

Language acquisition is a complex process deeply influenced by cultural context, which shapes learners' cognitive frameworks, motivation, and communicative competence. This study investigates the critical role of culture in language learning and proposes pedagogical strategies to enhance language instruction in higher education. By integrating cultural elements into curricula, educators can foster deeper linguistic proficiency and intercultural awareness, preparing students for global communication. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining an extensive literature review, classroom observations, and surveys involving university-level language instructors (N=50) and students (N=100). Findings reveal that culturally responsive teaching methods—such as the use of authentic materials, intercultural exchange programs, and learner-centered approaches that leverage students' cultural backgrounds—significantly improve language acquisition outcomes. The study concludes with practical recommendations for educators to design more inclusive and effective language programs that align with contemporary educational demands.
