An Empirical Study of the Impact of Machine Translation Assistance on the Development of English Learners'Writing Ability
The use of machine translation tools in English learning has become a common phenomenon,but its actual impact and potential risks on language learning have not yet been fully understood.This study involves 360 university English learners in a six-week machine translation-assisted English writing training experiment.The degree of machine translation assistance is quantified,and combining with data from writing practice reports,we observe the changes in students'English writing proficiency and compare them with those of a control group.The results show that machine translation assistance can promote the improvement of English learners'writing proficiency.It has a beneficial effect on students of different English levels.Low and medium levels of machine translation assistance can enhance the writing proficiency of all English learners while high levels of assistance do not significantly improve students'English writing proficiency This study helps language teachers understand the varying impacts of different levels of machine translation assistance on writing proficiency and provides stronger support and guidance for teaching practice.
