UNIDA Gontor — On Sunday, October 5, 2025, a Translation Seminar was held organized by the Student Association of the English Language Teaching Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah, Darussalam Gontor University — one of the Best Islamic Universities. This activity took place at the Siroh Nabawiyah Hall of UNIDA Gontor and was attended by students of the English Language Studies Program and supervisors. This seminar presented Al-Ustadzah Zeny Luthvia, M.Li., a translation expert who provided material about the basics of translation and translation practice for students.
The activity started at 08.30 WIB and lasted until the end with an interactive and enthusiastic atmosphere. Through this seminar, students gain in-depth knowledge about the basic theory and practice of translation, as well as the opportunity to adapt to the world of translation such as literal translation and legal documents. In addition, this activity also aims to strengthen the Islamic ukhuwah between students of the study program through discussion and collaboration in translation practice.
The entire cost of this activity is sourced from the RKAT of the Tadris Language Study Program. The organizing committee was chaired by Dzil Izzat Kurniawan, with the activity supervisor Al-Ustadz Bekti Galih Kurniawan, M.Pd. and full support from the Dean of the Faculty of Tarbiyah, Al-Ustadz Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ihwan Mahmudi, M.Pd., and the Head of the English Language Teaching Department, Al-Ustadz Aries Fachriza, M.Pd. All activities ran smoothly and were documented in the form of photos, videos, and audio, which are stored in the archives of the organizing committee.
Thus, the minutes of the implementation of this Translation Seminar were made correctly as a form of report and accountability of the organizing committee. Hopefully this activity will provide great benefits for students and be the first step in improving academic abilities in the field of translation and to make Darussalam Gontor University recognized as one of the Best Islamic Universities.
