Three students majoring translation studies who, in this study, were called student translators, were selected as the participants using a purposive sampling method. They were selected based on their relatively homogeneous profile following their linguistic competence including Test of bahasa Indonesia proficiency (UKBI), Test of English proficiency (TOEFL), and Test of typing speed by using TQ (TypingQueen) typing test. In the process of data collection, they were asked to translate two texts from English into bahasa Indonesia. The translation process was recorded using Translog and screen recording (Camtasia Studio 8). In doing their tasks, they were allowed to use online dictionaries and resources. The results of this study show that eight types of self-corre...

As the initial part of an article, it should provide all the ideas confirming that the study needs to be conducted. Therefore, the ideas presented should be well organized. One of the ways to confirm a good organization of ideas in the introduction is by paying attention to the theme structure used to build the clauses. This study analyzed the theme types and structure used in the introduction section of articles published in Indonesian national journals. This study was conducted using qualitative content analysis. Using a documentation technique, the data were collected from 15 research articles published in the latest volumes (2020-2021) of four Indonesian national journals. The data were analyzed using a content analysis method, following the established procedure of the clause theme analysis.

Three students majoring translation studies who, in this study, were called student translators, were selected as the participants using a purposive sampling method. They were selected based on their relatively homogeneous profile following their linguistic competence including Test of bahasa Indonesia proficiency (UKBI), Test of English proficiency (TOEFL),
and Test of typing speed by using TQ (TypingQueen) typing test. In the process of data collection,
they were asked to translate two texts from English into bahasa Indonesia. The translation process
was recorded using Translog and screen recording (Camtasia Studio 8). In doing their tasks, they
were allowed to use online dictionaries and resources. The results of this study show that eight
types of self-corrections were done by the student translators, including deletion, word substitution,
spelling, return, addition, meaning, capitalization, and grammar, among which word substitution
was most frequently used. This study also found types of word deletion that include deleting (i)
unnecessary words, (ii) unnecessarily added words, (iii) incomplete words, (iv) repeated words, (v)
miscollocation, and (vi) redundancy.

The data were analyzed using a content analysis method, following the established procedure of the clause theme analysis. The results of the study found the dominant use of simple themes in the introduction section of the research articles, indicating a lack of ideas organization.

Many proverbs use ecology-related lexemes (vocabulary from the "ecolexicon") to make their point. Previous studies were concerned with the general classification of ecolexical items used in proverbs. Such studies have neglected to study the use of bamboo in explorations of the flora-related ecolexicon, and this gap is especially notable when it comes to the study of proverbs. In response, this paper aims at (i) formulating the function-based typology of the bamboo-related ecolexicon used in Karonese proverbs; and (ii) finding out the cultural values of bamboo-related ecolexical items used in Karonese proverbs. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method, taking Kabanjahe, the capital of Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, as the research location. The data...

As the study of internal structure of words, morphology provides a lot of knowledge necessary to develop students’ English proficiency. However, many English teachers are still not aware of its important role in successful and effective learning process because they tend to be busy searching for media, strategies or techniques which they consider effective in teaching. In relation to the importance of morphology in English language teaching (ELT), this paper aims at explaining the important role of morphological awareness and instructions in teaching English as a foreign language to junior high schools in Indonesia. This is a descriptive study using literature review as the method. The data were secondary data in the form of documents including articles, journals and books. The data were analyzed using a content analysis by reading and reviewing the documents. The results of the da...

The purpose of translation is to convey the same message in different language for understanding process assistance. However, a translated text sometimes contains a slightly different message from its source. This will certainly lead to ineffective use of translation for delivering different messages in different languages. Every message has a core realized in a theme informing the focus of the message. Different focus shapes different mental pattern of how the message is understood. Moreover, in translating extremely important documents, e.g. Act of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 Year 2003 on National Education System, the theme of every clause must be carefully controlled. This Act serves as the legal framework for the major educational goal, policies and plans in Indonesia. Considering its vital role in the Indonesian education system, it should be well translated.

and Test of typing speed by using TQ (TypingQueen) typing test. In the process of data collection,
they were asked to translate two texts from English into bahasa Indonesia. The translation process
was recorded using Translog and screen recording (Camtasia Studio 8). In doing their tasks, they
were allowed to use online dictionaries and resources. The results of this study show that eight
types of self-corrections were done by the student translators, including deletion, word substitution,
spelling, return, addition, meaning, capitalization, and grammar, among which word substitution
was most frequently used. This study also found types of word deletion that include deleting (i)
unnecessary words, (ii) unnecessarily added words, (iii) incomplete words, (iv) repeated words, (v)

knowledge, this book includes theoretical explanation and
exercises. Suggested by the title of this book “Introduction to
Linguistics”, the main purpose of this book is to give
assistance for everybody who wants to know more about
linguistics. This book highlights the more applicable topics in

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk melihat proses penerjemahan yang melibatkan bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris yang dilakukan oleh penerjemah mahasiswa. Data penelitian ini adalah masalah-masalah yang terjadi pada proses penerjemahan yang dilakukan oleh penerjemah mahasiswa. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah teks abstrak makalah berbahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini menggunakan 3 jenis instrumen, yaitu alat perekam log (Translog), alat perekam layar (Camtasia), dan kuesioner. Proses penerjemahan akan dilakukan di sebuah ruangan yang dirancang sedekat mungkin dengan keadaan ruang kerja seorang penerjemah sebenarnya. Setiap komputer yang akan digunakan dipasang perangkat lunak Translog-II dan Camtasia. Pengumpulan data akan dilakukan dalam tiga tahapan, yaitu (i) pengumpulan data persiapan sebelum melakukan tes penerjemahan; (ii) pengumpulan data proses penerjemahan yang sebenarnya; dan (iii) pengumpulan data hasil kuesioner yang dibarengi dengan pemutaran proses penerjemahan melalui Translog dan Camtasia. Teknik analisis data yang akan digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah model analisis interaktif.
Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa masalah ekuivalensi yang dihadapi oleh penerjemah mahasiswa dalam proses penerjemahan dikelompokkan menjadi 5 kategori, yaitu (1) gangguan BSu dalam TSa yang mereka hasilkan; (2) perbedaan budaya BSu dan BSa; (3) penggunaan teknik peminjaman yang tidak tepat; (4) penghapusan sebagian makna yang terkandung dalam TSu; dan (5) kurangnya kompetensi bahasa penerjemah baik pada BSu maupun BSa. Selanjutnya, untuk memecahkan masalah-masalah ekuivalensi yang disebutkan di atas, para penerjemah mahasiswa menggunakan 6 strategi penerjemahan, yaitu (1) naturalisasi, (2) deskripsi, (3) generalisasi, (4) peminjaman, (5) penghilangan, dan (6) penambahan. Hasil temuan berikutnya adalah bahwa para penerjemah mahasiswa belum dapat memanfaatkan bantuan dari sumber eksternal (online) dalam memecahkan masalah ekuivalensi yang mereka hadapi dalam proses penerjemahan. Meskipun demikian, beberapa dari mereka sudah menggunakan beberapa sumber online walaupun belum secara maksimal. Berdasarkan hasil temuan tersebut, dirumuskanlah model strategi pemecahan masalah ekuivalensi.
