Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation strategies and translation acceptability of the figurative language that are frequently used in the “Hotel Valhalla” companion book. Due to cultural differences between English and Indonesian languages, literal rendition of these figurative language may not be available and the translator may need to implement strategies to achieve equivalent expressions. The researcher employed a qualitative research approach involving data collection. Based on the result of the study, the researcher identified ninety figures of speech from the book with the following translation strategies: Translation by implementing less-expressive words in a similar figurative language with similar meaning, translation by cultural substitution in a similar figurative language with similar meaning, translation by a paraphrase with related words in a similar figurative language with similar meaning, translation by loaning words in a similar figurative language with similar meaning, translation by implementing similar figurative language with similar meaning, translation by cultural substitution in a different figurative language with similar meaning, translation by a paraphrase with unrelated words in a different figurative language with similar meaning, translation by omission, translation by a paraphrase with unrelated words, and translation by a paraphrase with related words. For the translation acceptability, seventy translations were considered ideally acceptable, sixteen translations were considered less acceptable, and four translations were considered unacceptable. This study indicated that the translator implemented ten translation strategies to translate the figures of speech from the companion piece with most of the translations considered ideally acceptable.

Abstract

Textbooks are essential in education. They are used as learning tools to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Before deciding what textbooks will be used or whether the textbook is still appropriate, it is essential to evaluate it. This present study aims at evaluating a video-based textbook for Listening for General Purposes. The research used a content or document analysis approach, which belongs to a descriptive qualitative study (Ary et al., 2010). The instrument was a rubric containing criteria for good textbooks. The data were analyzed qualitatively based on the criteria of designing good textbooks. The finding shows that the textbook is good in terms of language and practicality. The textbook is very practical for lecturers who teach the listening subject in that it gives very clear steps for the lecturers on how to teach each unit of the book. On the other hand, the textbook and videos used still have some weaknesses. They relate to the appropriateness of the contents of the textbook and videos used with the curriculum and students' language level and the quality of the layout. The layout is just like a module. In addition, the quality of some audio and visuals is still bad. Many videos still have subtitles that do not match with the objective of using the videos, namely, to improve students' listening ability.

Abstract

This research analyzes the difficulties in pronouncing affricative consonants for the English Education department of Universitas Jambi students. This study uses a mixed method, which uses qualitative and quantitative methods to collect the data. The sample of this research was 10 students registered in 2020 at the Universitas Jambi English Education Department. The researcher used a test and an interview as the instruments. This research results from 10 students; 2 of 10 were categorized as high ability, 4 of 10 were categorized as average ability, and 4 of 10 were categorized as low ability. The average score was 54,59, categorized as poor according to the percentage scale by Djumingin .S (2017:596). From the interview results, according to Antaris and Omulu (2019), factors are language origin, age, exposure, inherent phonetic capability, language and ego, and last, effort and commitment to proper pronunciation. The students found it difficult to pronounce English because English is not their first language or mother language. The student always uses their mother language rather than English in daily communication. Therefore, the results of this study with the low average score of the students were caused by English not being their first language and the rare use of English in daily conversations.
