Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought major changes to education, including translation learning. One of its most visible implementations is machine translation (MT) — tools such as Google Translate and DeepL — which are now able to produce contextual translations through Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems. This study aims to describe the implementation of MT-based learning in the Translation course and to analyze students' perceptions of its effectiveness. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving fifth-semester students and the lecturer of the Translation course at Universitas Indraprasta PGRI, Jakarta, as participants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The finding shows that integrating machine translation into the learning process improved students' translation quality, critical thinking, linguistic awareness, and learning autonomy. Students used MT not as a substitute for their own translation ability but as an initial aid that was followed by analysis, discussion, and post-editing. The study concludes that MT-based learning can serve as an innovative and pedagogically sound alternative strategy for teaching Translation in higher education, provided it is guided by lecturers within a critical and ethical framework.

Abstract

This study aims to design a story-writing training program for lower-grade elementary school students that supports structured, creative, and developmentally appropriate writing. The study employs a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach involving needs analysis, initial program development, expert validation, limited implementation, evaluation, revision, and development of the final program. The training consists of activities for generating ideas, developing characters and settings, organizing events, drafting, receiving feedback, revising, editing, and presenting stories. Data reported in this study were obtained through classroom observation, a four-point student questionnaire, and analysis of students’ comments during the implementation. Quantitative data were summarized using descriptive statistics, while qualitative comments were organized into recurring themes related to students’ responses to the training. The implementation involved 30 students in Grades 1–3 across six 60-minute sessions. The findings showed a positive overall response (M = 3.45/4.00; 86.25%), with enjoyment receiving the highest mean score (M = 3.60; 90.00%). The findings also indicate that visual media, guided practice, and gradual writing activities supported students’ participation and confidence, while some students continued to require assistance with spelling, sentence construction, and event sequencing. The resulting program was revised to provide shorter instructions, stronger visual support, additional vocabulary, more examples, and a longer drafting period.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the intrinsic elements of two short stories: True Love by Isaac Asimov and The Darling by Anton Chekhov. Both authors are of Russian descent but were born in different eras. The compared elements include plot, setting, characters, point of view, and theme. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing quotations from the two short stories as data. The findings, presented descriptively, reveal that both literary works utilize a progressive plot pattern. True Love is set in modern times, whereas The Darling takes place in late nineteenth-century Russia. The main character in True Love is a single man named Milton, while The Darling features a single woman named Olga. Both stories employ a third-person point of view; however, True Love uses a limited omniscient perspective, while The Darling utilizes an omniscient perspective. The stories share the central theme of seeking love, portraying it as a fundamental human need while questioning it as an uncomplicated source of fulfillment. Asimov utilizes science fiction and technological irony to explore whether love can be calculated, while Chekhov uses repetition, characterization, and irony to highlight the fragility of an identity based solely on emotional attachment. Ultimately, the comparison demonstrates that despite differing historical and cultural contexts, both stories converge in questioning what happens when the pursuit of love replaces the development of an autonomous self.
