Description
Students need guidance towards utilizing translation software in effective, ethical, and educational ways. A task was designed which would require students to critically evaluate the product of translation software. They were to have three different translation tools produce an English version of a short Japanese passage, and then to indicate which of the three translations of each sentence they thought was the best. Results and students’ reflections on the assignment will be presented.
