Exploring Machine Translation as a Potential Tool for Aiding Second Language Instruction

Abdulrahman Alnagada

Abstract: The prevalence and usability of machine translation make it a contentious language learning tool. This study explores the previous studies about using MT in second language classrooms to assess its potential as an effective tool for aiding L2 instruction. It found significant evidence for MT superiority and effectiveness in aiding L2 instruction. The findings also reveal that a greater exposure to MT in L2 classrooms may increase the likelihood that L2 learners will be more engaged to a second language. It concluded that MT has a great potential to function as a tool for aiding L2 instruction.
