Polytechnic. This program aims to provide provisions for the author in facing the

world of work, with this experience it can make the author develop their abilities.

While studying at Politeknik Negeri Padang, especially English majors, the author

are required to be able to apply things that have been learned during lectures such

as public speaking skills, translation skills, writing skills, and broadcasting skills.

English Department, which is one of the majors at Politeknik Negeri

Padang, equips the author with a variety of communication and digital media

skills, especially Translation and Broadcasting. In the Translation course, the

author learns how to be a good translator and can intern as an interpreter,

translator, editor, and others. In Broadcasting, the author learns about the world of

broadcasting such as Radio Broadcasting, TV Broadcasting, publication content,

make a content, and others.

The author can choose what they want to do in the internship program, according

to their talents and interests. As the author who will do an internship, the the

author very interested in Broadcasting and Translation. This interest is due to the

interest and talent the the author has in writing, and the the author want to develop

translate and use good and correct language, not only that the author also wants to
 xvi
i

to take good picture, make interesting videos, and so on. Therefore, the

author chose Balai Bahasa Provinsi Sumatera Barat as the place to do the the

author internship.

Objectives

This internship program has its own objectives, including for the author, campus,

and for Language Center of West Sumatra Province. First, for the author, this

internship aims to provide more knowledge in the field of Translation and can

certainly apply things about Broadcasting. The author can apply the knowledge

they have learned in college and can also utilize the knowledge gained from

internships, such as writing scripts, broadcasting processes, editing, make a

The second goal is for the campus, at Politeknik Negeri Padang, especially the

English department. In connection with the author who intern at the Language

Center of West Sumatra Province and run the program, this makes the author

promote the department indirectly. The author is a representation of the campus

so that the good and bad are on the author who carry out the internship program.

If the authors who are interns cannot carry out internships properly, it can make

the good name of the campus bad. It is likely that later the Language Center of

West Sumatra Province will no longer want to accept internship the author from
 xvi

The second goal is for the campus, at Politeknik Negeri Padang, especially the English

department. In connection with the author who intern at the Language Center of West Sumatra

Province and run the program, this makes the author promote the department indirectly. The

author is a representation of the campus so that the good and bad are on the author who carry

out the internship program. If the authors who are interns cannot carry out internships properly,

it can make the good name of the campus bad. It is likely that later the Language Center of

West Sumatra Province will no longer want to accept internship the author from Politeknik

Negeri Padang, especially from the English Department. Meanwhile, if internship the author

can carry out internship tasks well, it will also have a good impact on the campus and English

department. It is because the author are qualified people and help a lot in carry out the task

from Language. So that it can provide an opportunity for the author to be recruited by the

Language Center of West Sumatra Province.

 3

The last objective is for Balai Bahasa Provinsi Sumatera

Problem and Solution

During the internship program, two problems slowed down the work of the

author. The first problem was that there were only two computers that could be

used properly, and even then, one of the computers often lagged. This problem

made it a little difficult for the authors when all internship the author worked at

the same time and both needed a computer to work. In response to this problem,

the author solved it by bringing their laptops to the office so that work could run

smoothly.
 26

The next problem was the slow Wi-Fi network. After the few computers,

the slow network also greatly slowed down the work of the authors during the

internship. The author had difficulty with this problem, especially when they had

to complete their work quickly and the Wi-Fi network was slow. In response to

this problem, the author overcame it by using mobile data from smartphones and

sharing hotspots with computers so that urgent work could be completed quickly.
 27
