Using the internet for self-study to improve translation for English-majored seniors at Van Lang University
Journal Title: International Journal of TESOL & Education - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
These days, with the development of technological advances in translation, many students are still unable to utilize internet-assisted translation tools to deliver high-quality translation. As an English-majored student, I have noticed that some of my classmates use too few tools to help them while some others use tools in improper ways. Both situations can lead translators to produce many types of errors. Therefore, I found it necessary for me to research the potentialities of the internet in improving translation competence. In this study, I reviewed previous studies, detected translation errors, and examined the effectiveness of my two internet-assisted translation procedures. This research was conduct by both quantitative and qualitative approaches with translation tests, error analyses, interviews, and paired-sample t-tests. As I expected, the results show that the internet can profoundly improve translation ability as the errors detected were significantly reduced. My findings indicate that if students know how to adapt the internet into their translation competence.
