Two Decades of Teaching English to Young Learners: A Bibliometric Study
No full textEnglish acts as a universal language and has become a vital skill in many fields due to globalization and the quick development of technology. Learning English as a foreign language early on improves learners' access to global knowledge, communication networks, and mobility, which in turn increases their future academic and career chances. The early introduction of English language teaching, also known as Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL), is one calculated reaction to this worldwide demand. Children in the early phases of formal education are the focus of TEYL, a specialist area of English language instruction. Instruction at this phase frequently utilizes communicative, contextualized, and play-based methodologies. TEYL has become an increasingly important area of study and practice in education. This study employs a bibliometric analysis of TEYL publications for twenty years, it was from 2004 to 2024, using Scopus as the primary data source and VosViewer for analysis. A total of 252 articles were initially identified, which were then screened to 198 high-quality publications. The study reveals three key findings: (1) A gradual increase in TEYL research publications over the past two decades, with a notable surge in 2022, indicating growing interest in the field. (2) Indonesia has emerged as the leading contributor to TEYL research during this period. (3) Co-occurrence analysis of keywords shows a significant expansion in research topics related to Young Learners.

An Analysis of Students' Essay Thematic Structure in English Academic Writing Course
No full textAcademic writing has always been a fundamental skill for higher education students, yet it is still perceived to be a difficult skill to acquire. Accordingly, educators are encouraged to find ways to solve this issue. A concept taken from the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory, namely thematic structure, can be a solution that provides a detailed description of how cohesion and coherence can be structured in a text. Therefore, this descriptive qualitative research is trying to provide a clear description of students’ thematic structure in English academic writing courses. The primary methodology framework to analyze and interpret the collected data adopted the SFL thematic structures model from Halliday and Matthiessen (2014), named textual metafunction, which identified themes into topical, textual, and interpersonal themes. The findings showed that students tended to employ topical themes, specifically unmarked topical themes, to realize the ideas in their clauses. Conjunctive adjuncts as the textual theme were frequently used by the students to build connections between clauses in the text, while conjunction was barely employed. The interpersonal theme was the least common type of theme employed by the students. However, this situation is quite common in academic writing as personal judgment is avoided to create a more objective text. Thus, future research is encouraged to analyze thematic structure in various texts and context
Grammatical Accuracy in Translating Direct Speech: A Comparison between Professionals and EFL Students
No full textThis study investigates the grammatical accuracy in translating direct speech from This study investigates the grammatical accuracy in translating direct speech from English to Indonesian by comparing the performance of professional translators with that of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. The research utilizes 20 carefully selected excerpts from "The Valley of Fear" by Arthur Conan Doyle. Fifteen final-year English education students’ translations were meticulously assessed against an officially published version, allowing for a robust comparative analysis. A qualitative comparative approach was employed, utilizing a rubric grounded in Nababan’s (2012) translation quality model, which evaluates critical aspects such as tense usage, agreement, sentence structure, and punctuation. The findings reveal significant insights into the translation capabilities of EFL students. While students exhibited moderate accuracy in tense and agreement, they encountered considerable challenges with punctuation and sentence structure. For instance, the nuanced use of commas and quotation marks in direct speech, which can dramatically alter the meaning and flow of dialogue, often eluded the students. In contrast, professional translators demonstrated a higher level of grammatical cohesion and a lower frequency of errors. This disparity underscores the complexities involved in translating literary texts, where the subtleties of language play a pivotal role in conveying the author's intent and character voice. Moreover, the study emphasizes the pressing need for grammar-focused and genre-specific training within translation education

Hasilnya menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat, peningkatan partisipasi pemuda dan perempuan, serta terbentuknya jejaring kerjasama antara komunitas lokal, pemerintah, dan perguruan tinggi. Evaluasi kegiatan juga menunjukkan bahwa meskipun terdapat tantangan dalam hal infrastruktur dan kesinambungan program, semangat partisipatif masyarakat menjadi modal penting bagi keberlanjutan pengelolaan wisata. Dengan demikian, pemberdayaan komunitas terbukti menjadi strategi efektif dalam mewujudkan ekowisata yang berkelanjutan, inklusif, dan berbasis kearifan lokal. Temuan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi model pemberdayaan serupa di wilayah lain yang memiliki potensi wisata berbasis komunitas
