THE INFLUENCE OF COMPARING TWO TRANSLATORS OF THE NOVEL THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA BY ERNEST HEMINGWAY AS TRANSLATED BY SAPARDI DJOKO DAMONO AND DIAN VITA ELLYATI

Cindy Zahra Devita (Author) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 07:14:37 +0700

This study aims to examine the differences between two Indonesian translations of Ernest Hemingway’s novel “The Old Man and the Sea”, translated by Sapardi Djoko Damono and Dian Vita Ellyati. The comparison explores how each translator conveys meaning, literary style, and aesthetic nuances from the source text into Indonesian. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a textual comparative approach. Data are drawn from selected key excerpts in the original novel and its two translated versions. The analysis focuses on equivalence of meaning, stylistic shifts, and translation strategies. The findings show that Damono tends to preserve Hemingway’s minimalist style, while Ellyati adopts a more adaptive and communicative approach to reach Indonesian readers. These results are interpreted through Susan Bassnett’s theory of loss and gain, Hans Vermeer’s Skopos theory, and Damono’s views on the aesthetics of literary translation.

KECERDASAN BUATAN DAN TRANSFORMASI PROFESI LULUSAN SASTRA JEPANG DI ERA DIGITAL

Miranti Artarina (Author) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Penelitian ini menelaah bagaimana kecerdasan buatan (Artificial Intelligence, AI) mengubah peran, kompetensi, dan praktik profesional lulusan Sastra Jepang serta implikasinya bagi pengajaran dan kurikulum. Dengan pendekatan studi pustaka kualitatif, kajian ini mensintesis literatur tentang perkembangan teknologi pemrosesan bahasa alami (Natural Language Processing/NLP), termasuk penerjemahan mesin berbasis jaringan saraf (Neural Machine Translation), dan teknik humaniora digital—seperti distant reading dan topic modeling—serta kajian etika dan kebijakan terkait penggunaan teknologi tersebut. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kecerdasan buatan efektif berperan sebagai alat bantu produktivitas (mis. penyedia draf terjemahan dan pra-pemrosesan teks) dan memungkinkan analisis korpus skala besar yang memperkaya penelitian sastra. Namun, kecerdasan buatan memiliki keterbatasan dalam menangkap nuansa estetika dan konteks budaya (mis. permainan kata, ambiguitas kanji, dan kigo pada puisi), sehingga pengawasan manusia (human oversight) dan keterampilan interpretatif manusia tetap krusial. Kajian ini juga menyoroti isu etika dan hak cipta yang menuntut transparansi penggunaan alat dan penguatan literasi etis dalam praktik akademik. Berdasarkan sintesis tersebut, direkomendasikan: (1) integrasi modul humaniora digital dan literasi kecerdasan buatan ke kurikulum Sastra Jepang; (2) desain penilaian yang mengevaluasi kemampuan interpretatif manusia; dan (3) penyisipan pendidikan etika penggunaan teknologi bagi mahasiswa dan dosen. Penelitian menegaskan bahwa penguasaan kecerdasan buatan secara bertanggung jawab—dipadu dengan kepekaan budaya dan kemampuan hermeneutik—merupakan modal penting agar lulusan Sastra Jepang tetap relevan dan berdaya saing di era digital.

This study investigates the relationship between students’ self-assessment and their actual performance on the TOEFL test within the context of TOEFL preparation classes. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the research aims to explore how accurately students can predict their own TOEFL scores and what this reveals about their self-awareness and readiness for the test. Data were collected from a sample of university students enrolled in a TOEFL preparation course, who were asked to estimate their expected TOEFL scores prior to taking the actual test. The results were then compared to their real TOEFL scores. The findings indicate a significant variation between predicted and actual scores, with many students either overestimating or underestimating their performance. These discrepancies suggest that while self-assessment can be a useful reflective tool, it may not always align with objective outcomes. The study highlights the importance of guided self-assessment practices in language learning environments to improve students’ metacognitive skills and test preparedness.

This study aims to explore students’ self-assessment of their English proficiency on the TOEFL test by predicting their anticipated scores with the actual results they achieved. The students performed a self-assessment consisting of a set of questionnaires about how they thought they would do on the TOEFL test, about their skills of listening, reading, grammar, and sentence structure, and their confidence when doing TOEFL practices and strategies. The results show that most students’ predictions of their TOEFL scores were rather close. The responses to students’ predictions indicate that some students think that they are less capable than they really are, while others seem to have a slight tendency to overestimate. Overall, the results indicate that the students need more personalized TOEFL learning strategies, with an emphasis on regular practice.

DAMPAK SOSIAL AI TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA

Dewi Sakinah (Author) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed various fields, including language learning. AI provides easier access to information, personalized learning experiences, and increased motivation and interactivity through digital platforms such as ChatGPT, Duolingo, Google Translate, and other applications. However, its use also raises social challenges, including overdependence, reduced human interaction, digital inequality, and ethical concerns related to privacy and cultural bias. This study aims to analyze the social impacts of AI on language learning, both positive and negative, as well as to explore learners’ perceptions of AI as a learning aid. Using a theoretical review and literature-based analysis, the study reveals that AI contributes to broader access and the democratization of language education, yet requires careful management to avoid diminishing critical thinking skills and the value of human interaction. The findings are expected to provide theoretical contributions to language education studies and practical recommendations for educators, learners, and educational institutions in integrating AI into language learning ethically, effectively, and in a balanced manner.

VIOLENCE, IDENTITY, AND RESISTANCE: A DRAMATIC CHARACTERIZATION ANALYSIS OF KICK-ASS 2

Arvi Farand Arkani, R. Myrna Nur Sakinah (Author) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study explores the dramatic characterization in the film Kick-Ass 2 (2013), directed by Jeff Wadlow, by analyzing how characters construct identity, morality, and resistance in a hyper-violent comic-based narrative. Using a literary-critical approach grounded in drama theory and psychological realism, the research focuses on three main figures: Dave Lizewski (Kick-Ass), Mindy Macready (Hit-Girl), and Chris D’Amico (The Motherf***er). The study investigates how their characterization reflects contemporary anxieties about youth, justice, and vigilantism in postmodern cinema. Each character functions not only as a symbolic archetype but also as a dramatic subject undergoing internal conflict and transformation. Through close reading of dialogue, performance, and symbolic action, the paper reveals that Kick-Ass 2 subverts heroic conventions and explores the blurred boundaries between fantasy and trauma. The film, while often dismissed as satire or parody, contains dramatic depth that mirrors real-world issues such as gender identity, moral decay, and the performativity of violence. This analysis contributes to the broader discourse on character development in modern drama and the ethical paradoxes embedded in superhero narratives.
