Abstract

The prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this modern era has been one of the major interests in translation studies. The ability of AI to produce human-like translations has become an ongoing discussion among scholars. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the utility of AI in providing alternatives for journalistic text translation results made by English Department students of Universitas Palangka Raya during a Translation Course. Given the communicative nature of journalistic texts, this study explores how culturally distinctive features, such as idioms, collocations, traditional language nuances, and organization names, are translated from Indonesian into English. By referring to translation strategies adapted from Newmark (1988), Hoed (2006), and Baker (2011), translation results made by students are compared with those generated by AI technology, i.e. DeepL and ChatGPT. Since creativity is one of the key characteristics of human translation, this study examines whether AI systems can be reliable tools for demonstrating the same creativity level. Translation creativity in this study refers to the ability to select the most effective strategies and wording to produce better translation versions of those culturally distinctive features. This study is expected to shed light on the evolving role of AI in the field of translation.

Abstract

This research aimed at developing an e-portfolio-based learning module integrated with multi- learning media platforms in engaging students’ learning. Seventy-seven students were involved in this study. They are sophomores at a vocational college in Business Administration Department in the academic year 2021/2022. This study is a research and development typed research by implementing design-based research (DBR) to develop a digital learning module based on e-portfolio principles. Three things were accomplished as a result of this research's implementation. First, the results of the needs analysis of students who are still getting English lectures at this moment (current learners), followed by the findings of observer observations in the classroom learning implementation. Second, the outcomes of designing and creating e- portfolio-based instructional materials in the form of a digital module that is connected to various digital platforms with the aid of QR codes. The analysis findings about the efficiency of using produced electronic modules come in third. The result of the current learners’ perception showed that the implementation of the e-portfolio learning model was able to improve student's learning achievements, however, the urgency in developing a digital module integrated with a multi-learning media platform was necessarily taken into account. Moreover, a digital module was designed based on the students’ needs and digitalization era 4.0. Consequently, the outcome of the digital module's development had a favorable impact on students' engagement to learn in a blended learning environment.

Abstract

Vocabulary plays a crucial role in English language acquisition. Presently, the predominant challenge in Indonesia is that a significant number of students struggle to communicate proficiently in English due to their insufficient command of vocabulary. Consequently, devising effective strategies to impart vocabulary is crucial. One viable approach to address this challenge involves the utilization of media. Blooket, a computer-based medium, has been transformed into a potent educational tool employing the Research and Development (R&D) framework. R&D, as a research design, is instrumental in the creation and evaluation of new products through iterative experimentation. The research design encompasses key stages, including the validation of materials and media, as well as field assessments. Field evaluations were undertaken at a chosen Junior High School in Sidoarjo, with seventh-grade students participating in the study. The topic selected for enriching students' vocabulary was descriptive text. The primary aim was to ascertain the viability of implementing the developed media and gauge the perceptions of both educators and students during its application. Based on the outcomes derived from the implemented stages, it is evident that Blooket is well-suited for English language instruction. Not only does the game serve as a motivational tool for students, but it also mitigates the risk of student boredom during vocabulary learning sessions.

Abstract

This study explores the psycholinguistic phenomenon in the context of second language acquisition of adult learners who work in hospitality industry at tourist destinations, with a case study at popular tourist sites in Bali. The main goal of this research is to identify and analyze the strategies and challenges faced by workers in learning and using a second language in their daily interactions with foreign tourists. This study utilizes primary data collected from direct observations and interviews with 55 workers at various tourist sites in Bali. Respondents were selected based on criteria such as having regular interactions with foreign tourists and at least one year of work experience in the tourism sector. Additionally, secondary data was obtained from a literature review of previous studies on psycholinguistics and second language acquisition. The methodology employed is a qualitative descriptive approach, in which the collected data is analyzed to understand the psycholinguistic aspects of second language acquisition. The results indicate that factors like a multilingual work environment and customs, personal motivation, age, and social support play a significant role in the process of acquiring a second language. Three main types of strategies identified in second language learning are cognitive, social, and affective strategies. This research provides new insights into second language acquisition in the tourism setting and recommendations for second language learning for tourism practitioners.

Abstract

The study addressed the influence of self-regulated learning (SRL) in English language learning. It involved 23 high school students attending a private school in Surabaya. The school implements bilingual language usage, incorporating both English and Indonesian. Therefore, most of the students demonstrated high fluency in English, as evidenced by their effortless communication during class activities. The students completed a scale and open-ended questionnaire regarding self-regulated learning and participated in an English proficiency test. The data were analysed using simple regression analysis. The finding suggests that self-regulated learning did not predict students’ English proficiency. Instead, according to students’ open-ended responses, the study found that students’ English proficiency was highly influenced by their exposure to the language naturally without structured learning strategies. Future studies should explore a more thorough assessment of students’ self-regulated learning levels and their connection with English proficiency, particularly in similar contexts.

Abstract

The Challenges in Traditional Grammar Teaching grammar often rely on rote memorization and repetitive exercises, which can lead to student disengagement and boredom. Without context or interactive elements, students may find it hard to retain grammar rules and apply them correctly in their writing and speaking. Research in educational psychology emphasizes the benefits of active learning, where students participate actively in the learning process, rather than passively receiving information. Incorporating game elements in education can increase motivation, engagement, and retention. Games provide a dynamic and enjoyable way to learn complex concepts like grammar.

Abstract

Engaging and maintaining young learners’ attention spans with songs has been a common technique in the teaching of English. However, looking for suitable and perfect songs on the internet has always been difficult and takes much time for those teachers who want to include music in their classes. Now, this challenge is made easier by SUNO, a generative AI that creates songs quickly and effectively. Nevertheless, like any other technology, SUNO is not flawless AI. There are some downsides associated with SUNO as well. For example, the quality of the songs depends on the prompt it receives. Moreover, its operation relies on an uninterrupted connection to the internet which might not be available at certain institutions such as rural areas.
