Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas strategi penerjemahan dan dampak strategi terhadap teks terjemahan yang dilakukan oleh sejumlah pelamar gelar Master di Sekolah Pascasarjana UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. Data yang dikumpulkan adalah sepuluh produk terjemahan, dari bahasa Inggris sampai bahasa Indonesia, dari pelamar. Teks bahasa Inggris yang diterjemahkan terdiri dari 390 kata. Mereka diizinkan menggunakan kamus tradisional atau kamus offline / elektronik saat menerjemahkan teks. Penelitian menggunakan teori strategi penerjemahan yang diusulkan oleh Jääskeläinen (1993), strategi global dan lokal, dan oleh Vinay & Dalbernet (1958 & 2000), metode terjemahan (terjemahan harfiah dan oblique) dan prosedur terjemahan (peminjaman, penerjemah kalque, terjemahan harfiah, modulasi , transposisi, kesetaraan, dan adaptasi). Temuan menunjukkan bahwa calon mahasiswa cenderung menggunakan strategi lokal dan metode literal dalam terjemahannya. Hal ini mempengaruhi kualitas terjemahan, membuatnya kurang alami dalam bahasa target. Selain itu, ada kesalahan terjemahan karena pilihan kata yang salah / salah, menyebabkan pesan dalam teks sumber gagal disampaikan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan masukan yang berharga untuk studi dan kursus terjemahan di masa depan. Kata Kunci: Strategi Penerjemahan, Metode Penerjemahan, Prosedur Penerjemahan AbstractThis study discusses the translation strategy and the impact of the strategy to the translated texts done by a number of Master’s degree applicants of UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh Graduate School. Data collected were ten translation products, from English to Indonesian, of the applicants. The English text translated consisted of 390 words. The applicants were allowed to use traditional dictionary or offline/electronic dictionary when translating the text. The study employed the translation strategy theories proposed by Jääskeläinen (1993), global and local strategies, and by Vinay & Dalbernet (1958 & 2000), translation methods (literal and oblique translation) and translation procedures (borrowing, calque, literal translation, modulation, transposition, equivalence, and adaptation). Findings showed that the applicants tended to use the local strategy and literal method in their translation. This affected the quality of the translation, making it less natural in the target language. In addition, there was mistranslation due to inaccurate/wrong word choices, causing the messages within the source text to fail to be conveyed. This study is hoped to bring valuable input for the translation studies and courses in the future. Keywords: Translation Strategy, Translation Method, Translation Procedure

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the student perceptions of plagiarism and the reasons that led to plagiarism in the students’ assignments. The population of the study included the students of English Education Department at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh, with 166 students randomly selected as the sample. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for collecting data. The data were then analyzed with the SPSS in order to obtain their descriptive statistics. The results of the study showed that there were various students’ perceptions about the notion of plagiarism and the underlying reasons for their plagiarism. It was generally understood that plagiarism wa the use of words/ideas of others recognized as one’s own. Further, the major causes of plagiarism in the assignments were due to lack of English language skills and lack of time management. In addition, the behaviors of lecturers and the university involvement in socializing the concept of plagiarism also became the causes for the higher proportion of academic dishonesty among the students. These findings are expected to be the input for the creation of campus policy so that academic integrity and better lecture system can be achieved in any university.

Abstract

Students leave their countries to pursue tertiary education abroad under different motives. To understand this case, this study aimed to identify the prospective students’ perceptions on overseas academic settings. A total of 100 Acehnese students applying for overseas scholarship were surveyed. The obtained data were then processed using SPSS 24.0 for descriptive quantitative elaboration. The findings indicated that both females and males shared relatively similar views on the quality of international tertiary education. Both positively consider overseas universities to have better learning quality, better learning environment and better research experience. It is suggested that prospective students equip themselves with good English language competence to increase their chance to study abroad.

Abstract

Note taking is a type of activity that is inseparable in the academic settings; for example, making short notes on a lecture, creating a list of to-do assignments, or re-writing ideas from a textbook. However, these note taking activities are often done without any particular system since the majority of Indonesian students have little knowledge on how to properly take notes. In this study, the aim was to develop students’ note taking ability by introducing them to a note taking format, commonly known as Cornell notes. The study employed two-cycle class action research to implement the Cornell format to a total of 15 students of English Education Department of University of Muhammadiyah Aceh. The students were asked to take notes by following the procedure in the Cornell format, in which it required the students to write in short phrases/sentences in four blank columns: heading, cue, note taking, and summary. The students’ note taking results were compared to a note taking criteria adapted from AVID, which used a four-scale category. Findings indicated that, in general, ten out of 15 students were in the “fair” category and four were in the “good” category, while only one was “poor”, in taking proper notes by using the Cornell format in cycle I. These results further improved in the cycle II wherein five students had been in the “excellent” category, seven reached the “good” category, and the remaining three were “fair”. The students were eventually able to do appropriate note taking by using the Cornell format, and this suggests that the students can make a good habit in note taking if they apply a correct method. Further, they can also make a summary out of a long written text so that they can easily review and learn a topic better.Keywords:Note taking, Cornell Format.

Abstract

Cheating has become a deep-rooted problem in the academic settings. There are various reasons which cause cheating to remain undiminished despite attempts made to reduce the frequency of cheating in academia. This study focuses on the student perceptions of cheating behavior, the cheating practices done by the students, and the factors influencing the students’ cheating behavior during learning evaluation. The participants were 43 students of the Department of English Education, Faculty of Islamic Studies, University of Muhammadiyah Aceh. These respondents were asked to complete a survey questionnaire consisting of demographic questions and cheating-related questions from which data were compiled and analyzed using the SPSS. Findings showed that the students were aware that cheating was against moral values. However, as much as 84% of the students admitted to having done cheating during exam or when doing assignments. The most common cheating practices included asking for and swapping answers with friends during exam, copying materials from books/internet and submitting them, and collaborating with friends when doing assignments that meant to be completed individually. There were external and internal factors contributing to these cheating practices. The external ones were highly difficult exam, too many assignments, not enough time in completing the assignments, and helping friends, among others. And, the internal factors were related to being afraid of getting low scores and failing in exams, and the motivation to have a high score. On the other hand, about 16% of the students claimed to never cheat due to religious/moral reasons, pride in their own ability, and fear of getting punishment. The results of the study are hoped to give valuable input on the policy of academic cheating in Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

These past years have seen the growing popularity of the Computer-Based Tests (CBTs) in various disciplines, for various purposes, although the Paper-and Pencil Based Tests (P&Ps) are still in use. However, many question on whether the use of CBTs outperform the effectiveness of the P&Ps or if the CBTs can become a valid measuring tool compared to the PBTs. This paper tries to present the comparison on both the CBTs and the P&Ps and their respective examinee perspectives in order to figure out if doubts should arise to the emergence of the CBTs over the classic P&Ps. Findings showed that the CBTs are advantageous in that they are both efficient (reducing testing time) and effective (maintaining the test reliability) over the P&P versions. Nevertheless, the CBTs still need to have their variables well-designed (e.g., study design, computer algorithm) in order for the scores to be comparable to those in the P&P tests since the score equivalence is one of the validity evidences needed in a CBT.

Abstract

This paper describes the types of irony used by Charles Dickens in his notable early work, Oliver Twist, as well as the reasons the irony was chosen. As a figurative language, irony is utilized to express one’s complex feelings without truly saying them. In Oliver Twist, Dickens brought the readers some real social issues wrapped in dark, deep written expressions of irony uttered by the characters of his novel. Undoubtedly, the novel had left an impact to the British society at the time. The irony Dickens displayed here includes verbal, situational, and dramatic irony. His choice of irony made sense as he intended to criticize the English Poor Laws and to touch the public sentiment. He wanted to let the readers go beyond what was literally written and once they discovered what the truth was, they would eventually understand Dickens’ purposes.

Abstract

This paper discusses the ways bilingual people are able to maintain their identity within any multicultural and multilingual environment. As today’s societies have shown to have more people with varied language/cultural backgrounds, it is interesting to learn how the bilinguals understand and identify themselves despite living in a totally different environment. Data in this paper came from a number of multicultural/multilingual settings for comparison purposes. Findings showed that there have been three major factors contributing to maintain the bilinguals’ identity in a diverse environment including language, family, and peer interaction.

Abstract

Numerous criticisms have been addressed toward the application of Skopos theory within translation studies. Issues such as vague concepts of translation, ‘dethroning’ the source text, oversimplification and inapplicability to achieve equivalence for literary and religious texts are some of many critiques for Skopos theory. In addition, from a student’s perspective, it is argued that there is no specific guideline to carry out the theory. However, here, I would like to present my perspective as a student practicing translation as well as a brief overview of Skopos theory, its criticisms as well as its usefulness in actual implementation.
