English prospective teachers should be able to well translate any text used as their teaching materials for both junior and senior high school students. Basically translation is an individual skill, yet it is believed that more heads may gain better results. This research is intended to improve the prospective teachers’ translation quality through a small group discussion. This descriptive qualitative research uses a purposive random sampling technique with a pretest and posttest design. The research result show that the errors are made in translating specific terms used in the passage by 31%, followed by distortion of meaning by 25%, and misspelling or grammatical errors by 22%. As those error results are less than those made in pre-test which are respectively by 55%, 36%, and 26%, it can be concluded that Small Group Discussion used by the prospective teachers in translating the National Examination Text is effective with the highest errors in translating the specified terms available in the text followed by the distortion of meaning, and misspelling/grammatical errors.

Penelitian ini adalah tentang modifikasi interaksi oleh kelompok kecil diskusi mahasiswa Indonesia yang belajar Bahasa Inggris dalam menyelaraskan arti. Masalah pokok dari kajian ini adalah : modifikasi interaksi apa yang digunakan oleh kelompok diskusi mahasiswa yang belajar Bahasa Inggris untuk menyelaraskan arti? Kajian ini juga bertujuan mengenali modifikasi interaksi yang dilakukan mahasiswa tersebut dalam menyelaraskan arti. ?é?áData dikumpulkan dari seuah kelompok kecil diskusi mahasiswa Bahasa Inggris IKIP PGRI Semarang yang telah direkam dan ditranskripsikan menggunakan model yang dikembangkan oleh Eggins dan Slade (1997). Berdasarkan transkripsi tersebut sebagian besar data dianalisa menggunakan taksonomi yang dikembangkan oleh Pica dan Doughty (1985), dan didukung oleh Tarone (1983) dan Agustien (1992), untuk mengenali modifikasi interaksi oleh mahasiswa dalam antara lain : permintaan penjelasan (15,91%), konfirmasi (10,79%), pengecekan komprehensif (3,98%), pengulangan kata yang sama (23,865%), pengulangan lain (10,23%), tanggapan (12,50%), permintaan bantuan (0,57%), permintaan pengulangan (1,14%), translasi literal (0,57%), penjelasan berlebihan (2,84%), usaa tim (0,57%), tanggapan:penerimaan (9,66%), dan usulan (7,39%). Agar kemampuan berbicara siswa meningkat secara signifikan, guru Bahasa Inggris dianjurkan untuk memaksimalkan modifikasi interaksi yang paling banyak dikuasai oleh para siswa dan meningkatkan yang yang paling sedikit dikuasai siswa. Sebagai tambahan, para guru diharapkan dapat mengembangakan aktivitas siswa melalui (1) masukan secara komprehensif, ?é?á(2) mengambil bagian dalam pertukaran informasi, dan (3) membagi peran yang sama di antara siswa untuk berinteraksi di dalam kelas. Kata kunci : modifikasi interaksi, menyelaraskan diri, kelompok kecil diskusi.
