Translation Machine as Learning Tools in Language Learning: A Perception of Undergraduate Students of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia

There are many different languages spoken throughout the world. While certain words are simple to learn, others are more difficult to comprehend. People can occasionally become confused when learning a new language due to the dif- ferences in linguistic structures. Due to this, employing translation engines to aid with language comprehension has become more widespread. In conjunction with this, this study intends to seek UiTM students’ perceptions on the use of translation machines as learning tools in language learning. The purpose of this study is to find out how students feel about using translation machines as language study aids through the use of a quantitative method. The results demonstrated that the study area had no bearing on how students perceived translation software as a teaching aid. This demonstrates that even language studies majors have a favourable opinion of translation machines. The implications of this study were further discussed.
