TRANSLATION

Definition, Kinds of Translation and Equivalence

a) The Definition of Translation
There are some definitions of translation. Nida states that translation consist of reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalence of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style[1]. Newmark in Rudi Hartono states that translation is rendering the meaning of a text into another language in the way that the author intended the text.[2]
From the definition above the translation has the same term “equivalence”. The meaning, context, though, or message of both source of reproducing in the receptor language, the closest natural are equivalent to the message of source language. The first is meaning and secondly is style. The message of source language must equivalent. The reader of translation who knows the target language only will be confused if the target language is influenced by the source language.

Advantages of Learning a Foreign Language

            A. Meet new people

One of the most phenomenal benefits of learning a new language? Doors are opened to you around the world. If you’re learning in a group setting, you immediately have new friends to share your new language with. If not, then once you go somewhere and are actually able to employ what you’ve learned, you’ll be surprised how open people are when you speak their mother tongue.

            B. Employers love it (and they’ll love you more)

If your C.V. accolades include fluency in a second language, your chances of employment in today’s economy are much greater for you than for those who speak only one language. Multilingual people are able to communicate and interact within multiple communities. Potential employers consider this a valuable asset in an employee’s skill set, as they’re able to connect with a broader range of people. In this new age of start-ups, companies are increasingly breaking into new markets. You up your personal and professional value if you’re able to negotiate with manufacturers in another country or communicate with customers who don’t speak your native language. Not to mention, your ability to speak a second language conveys that you’re motivated and driven to learn new skills, and this also gives you a competitive edge over those who haven’t yet become bilingual.

How to analyze situation

Situation Analysis in Curriculum

The curriculum directs all forms of educational activities for the achievement of educational goals. The curriculum is also an educational plan, providing guidance and guidance on the type, scope and sequence of content, and the educational process. Besides these two functions, the curriculum is a field of study, which is occupied by experts or curriculum specialists, who are sources of concepts or provide theoretical foundations for curriculum development in various educational institutions.


In the curriculum certainly can not be separated from the various needs needed in the curriculum itself. In this paper we try to focus the discussion on analyzing curriculum needs.

The purpose of the needs analysis is to gather information that can be used to develop the language profile needed by the student group in order to make decisions about the purpose and content of the language course.
