Machine Translation and Foreign Language Learning Hardback
by Kizito Tekwa
Part of the New Frontiers in Translation Studies series
Hardback
Description
The book investigates how machine translation (MT) provides opportunities and increases the willingness to communicate in a foreign language.
It is informed by a mixed methods methodological approach that analyzes quantitative and qualitative data of questionnaires and real-time instant messages (IM).
The book is unique because it contains tables, figures, and screenshots of actual real-time IM exchanges.
It is innovative in discussing IM translation, a novel form of MT, and demonstrates how the technology offers English foreign language learners, in this case, Chinese college students, communication opportunities while increasing their willingness to communicate.
The study provides an interesting insight into IM user profiles, clients, and usages.
Smartphone screenshots are the locale of the study whose findings have far-reaching implications for students, language and translation instructors, and curriculum designers.
