Artificial Intelligence in Education: Harnessing Its Power as a Valuable Tool, Not an Adversary
International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, v13 n1 2023
Despite its controversial nature, machine translation (MT) has been increasingly integrated into learning in the past decade. This controversy arises from two different beliefs. While some believe that MT negatively impacts students' language proficiency, others argue that it allows students to stay abreast of technological advancements. Despite the numerous risks associated with the unstoppable development and irresistible use of MT, it is imperative to explore appropriate integration methods instead of outrightly banning its use in learning the translation practice. Consequently, this article examines existing research on methods of using MT in classroom learning and highlights its strengths and limitations. The article explores pedagogical solutions to harness the capabilities of MT and proposes a novel approach for the practical and efficient utilization of GNMT in translation-learning classroom. The findings propose a novel strategy for optimizing the efficacy of GNMT tools in the context of classroom learning. Also, they emphasize the importance of integrating MT tools in classroom and to the curriculum design as a fast-developed technology tool.
