The participants were assigned to translate various text of different genres after they were trained on how to translate ideas from a source language into a target language. the protocols were then coded and analyzed to identify what kinds of goofing while the participants were on the process of translation or disscussion of their translation with their peers. Interview was intended to get the data on how they translated, why they translated in the way analysis-based data. the findings show that majority of goofing that the participants committed was developmental. such kind of goofing can be easily eradicated by exposure and appropriate training role in minimizing their goofing. Therefore, the lectures of translation are suggested that they should provide a lot of exposure and appropriate training on how to translate communicatively. they are also suggested that they should provide feedback for every transition assigment or work to the participants so that they could take benefits from such feedback.
