Abstract

The objective of this research was to determine whether translating narrative texts could enhance students' English vocabulary. The study identified that students struggled with English largely due to limited vocabulary, which hindered their ability to form responses and led to frustration and hesitation. Despite ongoing efforts, teachers had not effectively addressed this issue or engaged students in meaningful, interactive activities. To address this, the researchers implemented translation activities involving narrative texts to improve vocabulary acquisition. This qualitative descriptive study involved 20 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 47 Halmahera Selatan, out of a population of 98. Data were collected through tests, observations, and interviews, and analyzed using data reduction, display, and conclusion-drawing techniques. Results showed that 13 of the 20 students scored above average. Specifically, 2 students achieved perfect scores, 5 received good scores, 6 obtained satisfactory scores, and 7 scored below average. The study found that using narrative text translation activities to develop students' vocabulary was effective, achieving a 65% improvement rate.

Abstract

This research explores the use of code-mixing and code-switching in the YouTube collaboration video "Glitch in the Matrix" by Nessie Judge and Cinta Laura. The study aims to provide a comprehensive examination of these linguistic phenomena within the specific context of the video. Employing qualitative methods and a sociolinguistic approach, the research demonstrates that code-mixing and code-switching are natural occurrences among multilingual speakers. Data were collected through systematic observation, categorization, and analysis of the video content. Nessie Judge and Cinta Laura, both multilingual individuals, serve as the subjects of this study due to their frequent use of code-mixing and code-switching. The findings reveal numerous instances of code-mixing, including the integration of English words into Indonesian phrases and the introduction of English phrases into Indonesian discourse. The study also identified various types of code-mixing: inner code-mixing, outer code-mixing, and hybrid code-mixing. Regarding code-switching, language alternation was observed with specific reasons or purposes, classified based on the direction of the switch, either from English to Indonesian or from Indonesian to English. The analysis utilized the theoretical framework of Criper and Widdowson (1975), which provided a foundation for understanding the sociolinguistic dimensions of these phenomena.
