Machine translation for language learning Machine translation tools such as Google Translate and DeepL are widely used by language learners.
How does the availability of a tool that instantly translates written and spoken language impact on the learning and assessment practices in our language classrooms?
In this workshop, Anotnie Alm will present the results of a recent survey on the use and perceived usefulness of machine translation tools for language learning.
The workshop activities will provide participants with practical skills for machine translation use and facilitate a discussion on the appropriate use of machine translation in language education.
Associate Professor Antonie Alm is Head of Languages and Cultures at Otago University in Dunedin in New Zealand and teaches German language at all levels, intercultural communication, and computer-assisted language learning.
