Background: Our study analysed 46 articles on computer-aided translation (CAT) and its educational uses. We explored two main areas: CAT technologies in learning and teaching, and the research methodologies of these studies. Objectives: Our review covered the types of CAT technologies used, their applications in different learning settings,…

Utilizing translation technologies, such as computer-aided translation tools, online dictionaries, and parallel corpora, has become integral to the professional practice of translation. However, further research is necessary to investigate the effect of these technologies on translation quality and translator performance. The aim of the current…

This study aims to explore the students' experience with ChatGPT in providing scaffolding for writing essays. It also discloses students' appraisals of utilising ChatGPT. Drawing upon data from semi-structured interviews, this study involved 12 students learning English as a Foreign Language who utilised ChatGPT in academic writing classes. The…

Machine translation (MT) practice and activity development in education are possible when students with diverse backgrounds contribute to helping define how MT can best be used for language learning. This study employed a questionnaire based on an adapted version of the technology acceptance model (TAM) to gain perspective on the perceptions,…

At a time when language trainers need to determine how best to integrate new digital tools that provide students with linguistic information, our aim in this article is to assess the potential value of information provided by two types of tools now widely used by students: machine translation via online translators and state-of-the-art generative…

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has gained increasing popularity among EFL learners as a CALL tool to improve vocabulary, and many learners have reported its helpfulness for vocabulary learning. However, while there has been some evidence suggesting NMT's facilitative role in improving learners' writing on the lexical level, no study has examined…

In the recent decade, project-based learning has gained popularity in translator training, with its foundation rooted in the situated learning theory. Advancements in digital technology have opened up new learning opportunities for both teachers and students in translation classrooms. One such opportunity lies in the realm of online communities…

In an increasingly globalized world, translation technologies are critical in facilitating language comprehension and translation performance, especially among college EFL students. Despite their potential, the factors impacting their actual use in tertiary education remain underexplored. This study employs the UTAUT2 model to identify…

This paper analyses the relationship between translational technology and learning outcomes and investigates the type of translational technology most beneficial towards students' translations of legal texts. This study tests whether differences were found in the learning outcomes of legal text translation for students with high and low placement…

Ethical awareness is arguably becoming ever more relevant with the increasing digitalisation of professional practice. Ethical dilemmas are changing in nature, becoming more diverse and more difficult to tackle, also as technologically infused realities give rise to more blurry boundaries. Language professionals, in training for the roles of the…

The use of machine translation has become a topic of debate in language learning, which highlights the need to thoroughly examine the appropriateness and role of machine translation in educational settings. Under the theoretical framework of task-technology fit, this explanatory case study set out to investigate the predictive role of machine…

Over the past few years, many studies have examined the cognitive processes of students when translating texts from one language to another. However, little is known about the cognitive processes of Arab translators when translating texts from their heritage language into English. This study aims to track the cognitive processes of students as…

Corpus analysis methods have been widely employed in literary translation research by numerous scholars. However, their integration into literary translation training has yet to be developed. With the advancement of AI technology, this paper explores the potential of employing AI-enhanced corpus text analysis and text mining techniques in this…

The use of machine translation (MT) tools remains controversial among language instructors, with limited integration into classroom practices. While much of the existing research into MT and language education has explored instructor perceptions, less is known about how students actually use MT or how student use compares to instructor beliefs and…

Although machine translation software and CAT tools are commonly used both by professional translators and by those involved in the training of translators, the usefulness of electronic text corpora for these purposes is less widely known. Corpora of various types have become much easier to access during the last decade, and the main obstacle to…
