The data for this study was sourced from the official website and statistical books from the Department of Environment and Forestry, Central Java Province. The object of research is a collection of words or phrases that do not have a direct equivalent in the target language because they are non-equivalent and have limited expression in the target language. The results of this study indicate that the use of translation strategies and methods can support the translation process to be more effective and overcome translation problems.

In learning English, there are four skills that must be possessed by students, namely, speaking, writing, reading, and listening. To master these skills, it is necessary to have methods, media, or others to support these activities. The use of textbooks in learning activities, especially learning English, plays an important role. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the speaking activities contained in the textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris Think Globally Act Locally for the ninth grade of junior high school. The contents of this textbook are described and analyzed using a descriptive-qualitative method. The source of the data for this study was taken from a textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris Think Globally Act Locally for the ninth grade of junior high school. The data that has been collected is analyzed through several stages, namely: (1) grouping the data into types of speaking activities (Acting from Script, Communication Games, Discussions, Prepared Talk, Questionnaires, and Simulation and Role Play), (2) identifying the kinds of speaking activities that are most dominant. The results of this study indicate that in the textbook entitled Bahasa Inggris Think Globally Act Locally for the ninth grade, there are six speaking activities and they are dominated by Prepared Talk speaking activities.","PeriodicalId":154067,"journal":{"name":"Educational Tracker","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115794809","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 research is a qualitative that employs a case study as the method of the research. It focuses on how they face online learning. The researcher took the data from the students in the first semester. The first semester students are regular students and workers (have part-time job while studying). To collect the data, each student was interviewed. The interview applied was semi-structured; a type of interview in the category of in-depth interviews, for instance, interviews that are more freely conducted when compared to structured interviews. The analyses from the students’ perception show that online learning is ineffective and most of students feel uninterested. They like teaching and learning in the classroom. Furthermore, some troubles in online learning emerged such as losing connection and adjusting with the online class (zoom / google meeting). The unclear and less interaction also become the problem of online learning. It needs of course several meetings offline at least in one semester. However, online learning should be applied for the students who cannot attend to classroom. Based on the interview, tools for online learning to use are WhatsApp, google classroom, google meeting, and Zoom meeting. In addition, the result of the research shows that the most interesting tool that the student use is zoom meeting since the students are able to experience face to face interaction either to the lecturers or the other students. Although there is sometimes a problem from the signal, they can communicate and ask directly to the lecturer at least. For the future, Hybrid learning can be employed as the technology grows.","PeriodicalId":154067,"journal":{"name":"Educational Tracker","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126369636","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}
