Knowledge and beliefs are two aspects of cognition that play very significant roles in the teaching and learning process.

The interaction of every individual in this world has always become a part of human beings. There comes a pandemic era caused by a virus known as Covid-19. It takes over most of the human interactions. This virus causes social distancing, where people are not allowed to meet each other and have direct contact. Human beings need technology to come to the rescue. Machine translation has come to the surface to help and loosen everyone’s burden in translating foreign songs since it works instantly for less than a minute and can be done everywhere through the gadget. However, machine translation could not be trustworthy for translating because it is programmed to translate words independently. The purpose of this paper is to try to compare the translation methods done by humans and machines in translating religious songs. Religious songs are composed within poetry in their lyrics and intended to deliver worship with deep meaning. Therefore, in prayerful song translation, the significance is prioritized, although singing ability and translation must also be thought-through since songs are for performance. The methods used by humans and machines lead to the performability and singing ability of the song translation.

This study aims to find out whether or not an online picture-guided worksheet can improve the ability of vocational high school (VHS) students in writing the first conditional sentences significantly. This study follows the use of a grammar system in writing sentences as one of the micro-skills in writing (Brown, 2007). The data show that VHS students have problems in terms of the grammatical rules, or lexical items, or in both of the aspects. The online picture-guided worksheet is chosen as a way to help VHS students in composing the sentences based on the first conditional rules during the pandemic era. Pictures can stimulate students’ creativity in finding ideas about what to write. Online worksheet makes the works accessible in terms of time and place for the students. This study is conducted in two cycles to eleventh graders in one of the public vocational high schools in Semarang. The finding shows that the students have various ideas in writing the first conditional sentences based on the provided pictures. In addition, there is an improvement in students’ writing ability for first conditional sentences. Hopefully, this study will give insight into the teaching of conditional sentences.

Instructional process requires a good lesson plan which draws a number of mutual activities between students and teacher. However, the lesson plan is designed not to direct the students to be more autonomous during the process or to implement the student-centered learning. Therefore, this study is initiated to analyse the role and power depicted on the lesson plan which is taken from the seventh grade’s teacher. This study is closely related to critical discourse analysis which employs theory of ‘Role and Power’ by Brooks (2015). The lesson plans’ evaluation is indicated that the teacher dominantly plays the role during the instructional process. On one hand, she has more power in performing her roles as teaching manager, guide, and facilitator. For example: based on the lesson plan, the teacher has dominant role in directing as well as questioning the students in the teaching and learning process as the teachers’ dominance which was depicted on the lesson plans. In this context, the teacher characterizes themselves as the dominant figures to perform their duties in the instructional process.
