Translation Equivalence Degrees among Indonesian EFL Undergraduate Students

“…The findings clearly reflect that students' translation skills need to be enhanced, considering none of their results are optimal. Furthermore, this current study conforms to previous works, such as those conducted by (Asgarian & Vefali, 2510), (Askari & Nikoopour, 2518), (Hassan, 2525), (Husna, et al, 2521), (Karjo & Metta, 2519), (Mohammad, 2519), (Rosyidah, et al, 2525), (Sari, et al, 2522), and (Sundari & Febriyanti, 2512), who prove several weaknesses of EFL learners ' competencies and processes in translating;and (Al-Kindi, et al, 2525), (Romios, 2525), and (Sinambela, et al, 2524), ) investigated some main hurdles to EFL students' translation outcomes. These works are crucial since the learning outcome for translation courses in the EFL environment is to generate an optimal and equivalent translation among students , (Calis & Dikilitas, 2512), and (Mollaei, et al, 2512).…”

Considering the previous works had insufficiently discussed the EFL students' equivalence degrees, this current work, therefore, promotes the issue regarding: how is a translation equivalence degree among Indonesian EFL undergraduate students?…”
