This study aims to analyze the types of errors made by undergraduate students’ writing scores at the English Language Teaching Department at one of the universities in Cirebon. This study focuses on writing errors taken from three categories of English proficiency levels (low, average, high). This study used the descriptive qualitative method. There were six participants. The data were taken from their recount text writing results. The results of this study show that there are four types of errors based on Surface Strategy Taxonomy by students: Omission, Addition, Misinformation, and Misordering. The result of the total number of student errors is 37 which contains 14 Omission (37.83%), three Addition (8.11%), 19 Misinformation (51.36%), and one Misordering (2.70%). The most errors were made by Misinformation, with 19 errors (51.36%). It can be concluded that the ability of undergraduate students at one university in Cirebon is still low in writing recount text.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134955431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reading comprehension is a vital component of the English education curriculum, as it enables students to comprehend and analyze texts effectively. To conduct this study, a descriptive strategy was employed in combination with a qualitative approach. The questionnaire was designed to identify common challenges encountered by students, including difficulties in text translation, enhancing motivation, and the teaching methods employed by instructors. Data was collected through interview sessions, questionnaire responses, and documentation. The findings revealed that students predominantly struggled with sentence comprehension. By addressing these issues and fostering a desire to read, related challenges such as limited vocabulary, grammar proficiency, and sentence interpretation can be effectively tackled. Moreover, some students faced difficulties arising from inadequate teaching methods employed by their instructors. Consequently, this study concludes that students' reading difficulties primarily revolve around understanding the text itself, which in turn leads to other complications such as grammar mastery, vocabulary limitations, and text translation problems. These factors emerge from both students themselves and the instructional approaches adopted by their teachers.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134955433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process of choosing, concentrating, streamlining, abstracting, and changing the information found in the study's field notes and transcripts is sometimes referred to as the data gathering procedure. In parallel with the data collection method, data analysis was done. Out of the 18 methods based on Molina and Albir (2002), researchers can conclude that eight types of strategies are obtained from 47 data found in the translation of the lyrics to Taylor Swift's song \"Anti-Hero.\"The strategies found include; Amplification (15 data) 32%, Borrowing (5 data) 11%, Calque (1 data) 2%, Discursive creation (1 data) 2%, Establish equivalence (11 data) 23%, literal translation (10 data) 21% and reduction (4 data) 9%. It was found that the type of amplification translation strategy was the strategy that appeared the most with a percentage of 32% of all translation techniques found so that it became the most dominant type of translation used by translators in lyrics of the song 'Anti-Hero'. While the strategies of calque and discursive creation were the fewest translation strategies with a percentage of 2% in the translation of the lyrics of the song 'Anti-Hero' from all the strategies found.","PeriodicalId":110734,"journal":{"name":"NextGen Education Review Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134955428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
