Therefore, this study is conducted to evaluate the realization of grammatical equivalence in English–Indonesian translation of compound-complex sentences in the manual and its relation to the translation quality. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. The researcher used document to collect the data of the compound-complex sentences. Besides, questionnaire and interview were completed by the target readers and the expert readers to assess the translation quality. The findings presents that out of 106 English compound-complex sentences that are translated to Indonesian, 74 (69.8%) of them are grammatically equivalent and 32 (30.1%) of them are not grammatically equivalent. It means that the 74 sentence translations’ structures are equivalent. In addition, the translations are literal and there are no shifts. In contrast, 32 non-grammatical equivalent translations are due to their free translations and lead to the translation shifts. From the findings, it can also be concluded that the grammatical equivalence influences the accuracy, the acceptability, and the readability of the translations for the target readers. On the other hand, for the expert readers, the grammatical equivalence only affects readability.

Abstract

Simulation and role play as techniques of teaching have been studied and believed to be effective for teaching speaking. In speaking class, students’ interest and motivation were also improved as effect of the techniques.This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of simulation and role-play as techniques of teaching speaking to the students with different levels of motivation. The design of this research was quasi-experimental study with 2 X 2 factorial designs. The independent variables were simulation and role play technique while dependent variable was students’ speaking ability. The data were gathered through a test, questionnaire, observation, and informal interview with teachers and students. Then, I analyzed the result from questionnaire and speaking test using t-test and ANOVA.The results of this study showed that simulation technique to teach speaking to the students with high and low motivation (80.8 and 65) and role-play technique is (71.9 and 70.9). Mean score of simulation technique was higher than role-play technique and and the total mean of the students with high motivation was higher than the students with low motivation. However, both of techniques were effective to students with high and low motivation. The value of sig. of techniques and motivation was 0.00. It meant that sig.value was lower than 0.05. It indicated that there was significant difference between techniques and students’ motivation to teach speaking. In other words, speaking techniques were able to improve students’ speaking competence and those correlated directly with the level of students’ motivation.Based on the result of the study, it can be inferred that students were getting advantages of using simulation and role-play techniques to teach speaking. The students’ score was significantly increased. they were also indirectly motivated to speak English and they gradually forgot the negative feeling such as shyness and lack of confidence

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring the correlation of attitudes, motivation and English learning strategies in an attempt to see wether 1) positive attitudes correlate with motivation, 2) negative attitudes correlate with motivation, 3) positive attitudes correlates with English learning strategies, 4) negative attitudes correlate with English learning strtegies, 5) high motivation correlates with English learning strategies and 6) low motivation correlates with English learning strategies which consequently may provide some pedagogical implications for teachers to benefit in classroom applications. A total of 308 sample were involved in this descriptive study. They were the second grade of senior high school in Indramayu city – West Java. The data were obtained through using two questionnaires; AMTB (SPSS. 21) and SILL (SPSS 21). The results of the two questionnires that for the item 1 (Table 2) is about the awareness of the importance of English and the fact that it shows the good and the poor learners are more aware of this. Subsequent items 2-7 (Table 3 and 4) show the good and poor learners are more interested in learning English and expression of desire to learn English. Next, items 8-10, (Table 5) that they show the actual English interest and effort in learning and improving in an out of the classroom. (the good and poor learners’ positive attitudes correlate with their motivation). However, the first third items (11, 12, and 14), table 6, that the highest rank, the poor learners responses, (.251 **, .414 **, .357 **, agreements) are items related to the difficulty involved in learning English. Moreover, items 5 to 7 (15, 16, 17) study the poor learners find learning English uninteresting and they really find learning English boring. Finally, the low mean scores for items 10 (20), table 8, show that the poor learners do not think that learning English is a waste of time (the poor learners’ negative attitudes do not correlative with their motivation). Furthermore, in line with the strategy, the good learners who have high motivation are more greater than the poor learners who have low motivation (Table 15 and 16). It is highly likely influenced by extrinsic motivation.
