Abstract

This descriptive qualitative study investigates the translation performance of two prominent machine translation (MT) tools—DeepL and Google Translate—in the context of high school-level social texts in Indonesia. Five Indonesian texts covering topics such as environment, culture, education, and digital behavior were translated into English using both tools. The translations were assessed by human evaluators based on three key criteria: accuracy, fluency, and contextual appropriateness. The study also incorporates theoretical perspectives on neural machine translation and its role in education to frame the analysis. Findings indicate that DeepL consistently outperforms Google Translate, especially in fluency and contextual sensitivity, although both tools have strengths and limitations. This research contributes practical implications for language educators and students in using MT critically and effectively in learning environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the representation of cultural elements in the Bahasa Inggris Work in Progress textbook for Grade X students in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis, the study analyzed reading materials and visual contents across six chapters based on Yuen’s (2011) framework, which categorizes cultural elements into Products, Practices, Perspectives, and Persons. The findings reveal an uneven distribution of cultural elements. Products were the most dominant element with 46 instances (74%), followed by Persons with 9 instances (15%), Perspectives with 5 instances (8%), and Practices with only 2 instances (3%). Source Culture was most prominent in Persons, while Target Culture dominated Products. No Source or International Culture representation was found in Practices. These findings indicate that the textbook primarily presents culture at a surface level, with limited representation of deeper cultural dimensions. Consequently, students may have fewer opportunities to develop intercultural communicative competence. The study highlights the need for a more balanced representation of cultural elements in EFL textbooks to support intercultural learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the types and frequency of grammatical cohesion devices realized in the hortatory exposition texts of the Grafindo Bahasa Inggris textbook for Grade XII used at SMAN 1 Medan, and to analyze the reason behind their usage. The data consist of clauses containing grammatical cohesion devices (reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction) drawn from eight hortatory exposition texts. The source of data is Chapter 4 of the Grafindo Bahasa Inggris textbook, 2024 edition for Grade XII. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. The technique of data collection is documentary analysis following Bowen (2009), in which the texts were systematically selected, appraised, and reviewed clause by clause. The instruments of data collection are a Table Checklist adapted from Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) for RQ1 and a Functional Context Matrix for RQ2. Two complementary techniques of data analysis were applied: Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's (2014) Interactive Model for RQ1 and Bingham's (2023) Five-Phase Process for RQ2. The results show that 274 total instances of grammatical cohesion devices were identified. Reference is the most dominant device with 149 instances (54.4%), followed by conjunction with 124 instances (45.2%), substitution with 1 instance (0.4%), and ellipsis with 0 instances (0%). Functionally, The Reason behind reference dominance is motivated by participant tracking, conjunction by logical scaffolding, substitution by grammatical economy, and ellipsis absence by the written monologic mode of the texts.

Abstract

This study analyzes the integration of creativity as a 21st-century skill within the learning activities of the "Bahasa Inggris: Life Today" textbook for Grade XII. Based on Trilling and Fadel's (2009) framework, this study operationalizes creativity into three core indicators: Think Creatively (TC), Work Creatively with Others (WCO), and Implement Innovations (II). By employing a descriptive qualitative methodology with a content analysis approach, the research systematically examines the textbook's task instructions across four units. The findings reveal that the textbook actively integrates creativity through 35 occurrences. It demonstrates a strong emphasis on Think Creatively (15 occurrences) through brainstorming tasks, and Work Creatively with Others (19 occurrences) via collaborative writing cycles and peer feedback sessions. However, a significant limitation was identified in the Implement Innovations criterion, with only one task prompting students to publish their work for an authentic external audience. This study concludes that while the textbook serves as a valuable resource for developing students' ability to generate ideas and collaborate, it falls short of completing the full creative process. Future iterations would benefit significantly from redesigning tasks to include real-world publication components, ensuring students' creative outputs have genuine impact beyond the classroom.
