Abstract

This study analyzes the translation of culture-bound words in the novel Cantik Itu Luka by Eka Kurniawan and its English version, Beauty is A Wound, translated by Annie Tucker.  The study aims to identify the techniques used in culture-bound words and the resulting quality. The culture-bound words category was analyzed using Newmark, (1988). Meanwhile, the theory of translation techniques proposed by Molina & Albir, (2002) used to identify translation techniques applied by translators in translating culture-bound words. Text studies, reading, taking notes, and in-depth analysis using table instruments are all part of this qualitative research approach. Further, the author used accuracy, acceptability, and readability rating instruments based on Larson, (1998) to determine the translation quality of culture-bound words. The finding showed 434 culture-bound words found in this novel, and 14 translation techniques were identified, with the established equivalent being most frequent at 36.81%. Moreover, the average accuracy was 88.99%, clarity was 82.24%, and naturalness was 79.80%. This research attempts to improve knowledge of the translation process and its function in cross-cultural communication by comprehending the translation techniques and quality that underlie the translation of culture-bound words.

Abstract

The implementation of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) has become a global benchmark in language education, yet its contextual adaptability remains a critical issue, particularly in non-European settings such as Indonesia. This study investigates how CEFR descriptors can be systematically adapted to construct reading test specifications aligned with the learning objectives of EFL reading courses in an Indonesian university context. Focusing on the English Education Study Program at Universitas Kristen Artha Wacana, the researchers employed a qualitative descriptive approach through document analysis of three core reading course syllabi: Intensive Reading 1, Intensive Reading 2, and Extensive Reading. Instructional objectives from these syllabi were mapped against four CEFR reading descriptor scales to determine alignment with proficiency levels ranging from A2 to B2. The researchers then designed test specifications based on these alignments and validated them through expert judgment involving two language assessment specialists. A structured validation checklist was used to assess construct relevance, task appropriateness, text length, and micro-skill inclusion. The findings demonstrated a logical progression of reading proficiency across the courses and confirmed that CEFR descriptors can be meaningfully adapted to the Indonesian EFL context. While the study provides a foundational model for CEFR-aligned reading assessment, it acknowledges limitations related to scope, piloting, and generalizability. Future studies are recommended to conduct empirical trials and explore the integration of digital assessment tools. This research offers practical implications for EFL lecturers and curriculum developers seeking to improve language assessment practices in Indonesian higher education.

(2023) for language attitude data and took a speaking performance test with the rubric adopted from O’Malley & and Pierce (1996). Descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to determine the students’ language attitude levels and its correlation towards students speaking skills. The result from this study shows that the students’ language attitudes are positive in cognitive and affective aspects and fair in conative aspects. The correlational analysis results show a moderate and significant correlation between students’ language attitudes and speaking skills. (r = .517, p = .000). This result indicates that students’ language attitude still contributes enough to influencing students’ speaking skills. Keywords: language attitudes; speaking skills, correlational study

Abstract

This study examines the impact of ProWritingAid, an AI-driven writing tool, on improving writing accuracy and increasing confidence among vocational high school students studying English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Indonesia. The study examines the difficulties vocational students encounter in creating coherent and grammatically precise argumentation writings, highlighting the necessity for efficient technology assistance in their writing advancement. A qualitative case study methodology was employed to gather data using semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis involving 21 eleventh-grade students at SMK Al-Washliyah Sukra. Thematic analysis utilizing NVivo software was conducted to discern major trends in students' motivation, confidence, and challenges encountered while using ProWritingAid. The results indicate that ProWritingAid markedly improves students' motivation and self-assurance by delivering prompt, constructive feedback on grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure, together with progress monitoring that cultivates a sense of accomplishment. Challenges include restricted access to premium capabilities, the intricacy of advanced ideas, internet connectivity problems, and device limits were recognized as impediments to optimal tool utilization. Notwithstanding these challenges, the tool significantly enhanced writing precision, assisting students in generating clearer and more logical arguing compositions. The study emphasizes the significance of including AI writing tools as supplementary resources in vocational education, while warning against excessive reliance and highlighting the necessity for instructional oversight. The study's limitations encompass its brief duration, cultural distinctiveness, and dependence on a singular version of the tool, potentially impacting generalizability. Subsequent study ought to investigate longitudinal impacts, cross-cultural relevance, and the incorporation of new AI technologies to enhance writing education in vocational EFL settings.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the lexical differences between Malay and Indonesian in the Malaysian film Melur untuk Firdaus. Although both languages ​​are derived from the same Austronesian root, variations in word meanings, forms, and external influences especially from English often lead to misinterpretation in cross-cultural communication. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative method to identify and classify vocabulary that differs in meaning between the two languages ​​and to identify Malay words influenced by English. Data were collected from 3 episodes out of 28 selected episodes using listening and note-taking techniques. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings of the study revealed 34 Malay words, such as Benda, Pasal, and Lepas, that are lexically different from their Indonesian equivalents, which have the potential to cause misunderstanding. In addition, 12 English loanwords, including Busy, Telephone, and Holiday, were identified as part of code mixing, reflecting sociolinguistic and bilingual trends in Malaysian speech. These results highlight the dynamic development of language and underline the importance of understanding lexical differences to enhance shared linguistic and cultural understanding. Although limited in scope to only three episodes and lexical elements, this study provides useful insights for educators, students, and translators studying both languages.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze errors in the use of derivational affixes in narrative writing by eleventh-grade students at MA Al Djufri Blumbungan Pamekasan. This study uses a mix method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data were collected from 22 student essays, which were analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques to identify the types of errors, as well as frequency and percentage calculations to determine the most dominant errors. Errors in the use of derivational affixes were categorized into four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The results of the study show that misformation errors were the most dominant, with a percentage of 68%, followed by omission and addition errors, each at 12%, and misordering errors at only 8%. From this analysis, it can be concluded that the majority of errors occur in derivations that change word classes, particularly in nouns and adjectives. The findings emphasize the importance of strengthening instruction on the use of derivational affixes in writing instruction at the high school level to reduce morphological errors among students.
