The results reveal that TL practices occurred in all courses, which served different functions, including interpretive, managerial, and interactive functions. The practices benefited the students cognitively, socially, and psychologically. Questionnaire and interview data support observation data and previous research about the use of mother tongue in Indonesian EFL classrooms (Emilia, 2010, 2011) that the majority of students (82.6%) wanted mixed Indonesian and English despite few students’ tendency to use English only in the classroom.

Needs Analysis of Indonesian-Chinese Interpreting Class: A Case Study of X University in Bandung

The increased collaboration between Indonesia and China in various fields should be supported by sound and effective communication between the two parties. This partnership strongly affects the demand on Indonesian-Chinese translator and/or interpreter. The demand on interpreters are increasing rapidly, ranges from various sectors. However, Chinese language programs available in Indonesia these days are still at the undergraduate levels. Together with the increasing demand on interpreter, various Chinese language study programs are providing translation and/or interpreting courses to equip their students for future job market. As most of the Chinese language students in Indonesia begin to learn Chinese as a foreign language when they are at the university, teaching interpreting at the undergraduate level is certainly challenging compared to teaching interpreting at the postgraduate level. The writers therefore conducts a Needs Analysis on students to find out what are the needs and challenges faced by undergraduate level interpreting trainees, and what kind of curriculum design would suit the undergraduate level interpreting training. This study found that the biggest challenges for the trainees were nervousness during interpreting assignment, difficulty in delivering speech in L2 and L1, and difficulty in understanding L2 input. This study also shows that L2 correlation with trainees’ interpreting performance. The trainees in this study perceive that their foreign language skills affect their performance. Based on the Needs Analysis conducted in this study, the writers also provide suggestions for interpreting course design at the undergraduate level by putting into consideration the number and the linguistic background of students.

Learner’s Autonomy In English As A Foreign Language Teaching And Learning

This article presents the outcome of a case study research which is particularly aimed at investigating dimensions of learner autonomy in EFL teaching-learning particularly in an English education program and situations under which learners learn autonomously. To collect the data, a questionnaire adapted from Murase (2009) was distributed to fourty first-year undergraduate students of a university in Bandung and interview was addressed to nine undergraduate learners. The findings showed that all dimensions of learner autonomy are found and each dimension is reflected in various degrees. The degree of technical and political dimensions of learner autonomy is in respect not as satisfactory as expected. However, the degree of learner autonomy in the psychological and socio-cultural dimension is high enough. There are four major aspects related to situations under which learners learn autonomously, including the subject matter, the lecturer, the time, and the challenging task. It is recommended for further research to investigate learner autonomy in a more specific context of class, for example learner autonomy in a speaking class, in order to get more in-depth data.

Predicting Electricity Consumption in Microgrid-Based Educational Building Using Google Trends, Google Mobility, and COVID-19 Data in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic

Electricity demand has been disrupted in various countries since many governments imposed comprehensive social restriction policies to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Obtaining accurate electricity consumption predictions in this highly uncertain period is particularly important for building operators to improve the corresponding operational planning efficacy. Nevertheless, developing accurate electricity consumption prediction models for buildings within the COVID-19 context is a nontrivial task. Correspondingly, this research focuses on incorporating publicly available internet data (i.e., Google Trends, Google Mobility, and COVID-19 data) to develop accurate electricity consumption prediction models for microgrid-based buildings during the COVID 19 pandemic. For this purpose, we developed extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector regression (SVR), and autoregressive integrated moving average with explanatory variable (ARIMAX) models. As a case study, we analyzed a real-life electricity consumption dataset of a six-floor microgrid-designed educational building at a technological university in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The findings show that incorporating publicly online data positively impacts prediction accuracy. The accuracy increases, even more when we use the lagged value of the predictors. XGBoost models utilizing lagged historical values of the electricity consumption, Google Trends, and COVID-19 data of the previous days is the best performing model. However, adding more lagged predictors does not necessarily increase SVR models’ accuracy. Lastly, the ARIMAX models become the worst-performing models compared to XGBoost and SVR models.

Career Success Model: A Case Study of Information Technology Graduates

Success in a career is everyone's dream, and it is not an exception for Information Technology graduates who are engaged in information technology-related jobs. Several studies have documented the role of the following two (2) constructs, namely Career Competence (CC) and Lecturer Competence (LC), in Career Success (CS). The authors believe that University Commitment (UC) must be included in this list. This research aims at developing a model that explains and measures the relationship amongst those four (4) constructs. The model that will be developed is based on the Structural Equations Modelling Technique. Respondents participating in this research are IT graduates working in IT-related jobs who have graduated from three (3) private universities in Bandung (Indonesia), namely, Maranatha Christian University (UKM), Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR), and Harapan Bangsa Institute of Technology (ITHB)) with graduating years ranging from 2006 to 2018. The collected data will be processed using IBM SPSS AMOS. This research proves that firstly, LC influences both UC and CC, secondly, UC influences CC, and lastly, CC affects CS. Further hope this model can be developed for other universities in Indonesia to increase Lecture Competency and University Commitments by the strategic plans of each university.
