Machine translation and foreign language education

Abstract: Online machine translation tools have great potential to transform foreign language education. This essay will synthesize systematic research on the role of machine translation conducted in the field of educational linguistics. After describing approaches developed that promote the integration of machine translation into language learning environments, the essay will briefly outline lingering concerns associated with the integration of MT tools into educational settings. We will propose future R&D prio… Show more

“…In addition to recognizing the limitations of modern technology, educators must help learners of all levels interacting with machine translators to recognize these limitations. A language class that integrates machine translators should also provide students with an opportunity to learn about the limitations of machine translators (Urlaub & Dessein, 2022 ).…”

“…Unlike the biomedical sciences, a large amount of data on machine translation is available in the field of educational linguistics, second language studies, and foreign language education. Two review articles have recently been published [ 28 , 29 ]. These papers summarized the key concepts, insights, and findings, categorizing them into questions like how learners use MTs, what instructors and learners think about MTs, and how MTs affect language learning.…”

Urlaub and Dessein (2022) discuss the transformative potential of online MT tools in foreign language education, emphasizing the need for pedagogical tools based on MT that acknowledge and can handle socio-culturally complex source texts. They advocate for research and development priorities that focus on optimizing support for language learners through technology.…”
