EXPLORING EFL LEARNERS' PERSPECTIVE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN BOOSTING TRANSLATION QUALITY

Abstract

This study was aimed to determine learners’ perspective of the using of artificial intelligence. The population of this study was 20 learners in the 6th semester of English education. The sampling technique uses a semi-structured interview method with EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners who have experience using AI technology for translation assignments. The research design used in this study was qualitative. The results showed that most EFL learners use Google Translate, while others use U-Dictionary, DeepL Translate, and Line Translate to help them do their assignments. However, the EFL still found the result of translations is inaccurate, so they cross-referenced them manually and sometimes used other AI tools to refine the translations.
