한국 대학생 EFL 학습자의 영어 자동번역기 사용에 대한 인식 = Korean EFL University Students’ Perceptions of Using English Automatic Translators

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the perceptions of using automatic translators (AT) for English learning. For this study, 58 Korean EFL university students participated. This study employed a mixed method and data were collected through survey questionnaires and reflection essays about using AT for English learning. Results showed that almost all students reported using AT frequently. Results also showed that students positively expected to organize what they want to say more clearly by using AT. They also expected they could save time for reading and writing in English. In addition, they also showed they needed to use AT sophisticatedly to improve their English reading and writing. On the other hand, students did not positively expect improvements in their English grammar and reading skills. Among four factors, perceptions towards improvements in quality of their work in English and perceptions towards usefulness for learning were higher than perceptions towards English skill improvement and self-satisfaction towards using AT. Students’ reflection essays also represented ample information about their experiences and perceptions about using AT for their English learning. The results suggest that instructors should provide guidelines and training for using AT for students’ better learning.
