Tran Thị Dung — 11191180 - Business English 61C EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Technological development brought various tools to help learners overcome their difficulties and GT is the ideal option among students.
Realizing the trends for the future, the researcher conducted a research to evaluate the impact of GT on the English-Vietnamese translation process of final-year Business English students at NEU. The research also sought to determine the impact of using GT, and the advantages and disadvantages of this tool as well. The researcher then aimed to provide a few solutions to these limitations. To be more specific, a set of ten questions in total was brainstormed and dispatched among 100 students of Business English Department, intake 61 at NEU.
Then, the researcher gets the data to analyze. Based on the analysis and findings, students are shown to have been using GT into their English-Vietnamese translation process to improve themselves as well as simplify all tasks. 1 Tran Thị Dung — 11191180 - Business English 61C LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Business English Example-based machine translation Google Neural Machine Translation system Google Translate Source Language Target Language iii Tran Thị Dung — 11191180 - Business English 61C LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES Tables Table 3.

It may be argued that translation has existed from the dawn of human civilization, at all levels, to take a term from Jacobson, such as intralingual, interlingual, and intersemiotic. The oldest, estimated to be between 6000 and 10,000 years old, has reportedly been discovered in the Middle East, more precisely in the town of Elba Kuna. Translation plays a significant part in human communication as a fundamental way of information exchange across many nations and cultures.
A compelling need to include translation practice in university curricula and provide student translators with real-world experience that meets employer expectations after graduation has developed in view of the expanding global demand for translation. In the contemporary day, technology is also used in translation. It is undeniable that the technology has dramatically changed the translation industry globally. With today's Internet technology, anyone may access information from anywhere in the world at any time.
Effective information retrieval from a web page is challenging, though. Google is one resource that facilitates efficient information searching for internet users. Google Translate is one of the many applications the company currently provides. The content shown on a web page on the Internet can appear in a range of languages, Google's developers understood.
If a person does not speak the source language, language might be a barrier to understanding information. Google's machine translation is a solution in that case. More than 100 different languages are currently supported by Google Translate. Even though Google Translate has significantly evolved, there hasn't been much in-depth research on its use in student education in all of the Translation process, and the students gets the difficult problem in their translation process.
Hence, the researcher decides to carry out this investigation about “The Impact of using Google Translate on the Process of English-Vietnamese Translation of Business English majors at National Economics University” Tran Thị Dung — 11191180 - Business English 61C 1. Research questions The research aims at how GT impacts on students' the process of English - Vietnamese translation, the frequency, the reasons for using app and some efficiencies and deficiencies arise when using this tool. Also, the researcher will provide solutions, recommendations to the problems to encourage students to use app as a tool to simplify translation work, and save time for translating. The research is conducted to answer the following research questions: e What can Google Translate help students during the translation process? e@ What are the effectiveness and deficiency of the texts in Vietnamese created by Google Translate? 1.
Scope of the research This research is confined to Translation from English into Vietnamese of 100 Business English major students intake 61 at National Economics University, using Google Translate. The researcher decides to choose final-year students because this is the time they have completed at least two courses in a three-course curriculum. The scope of the research is limited to Business English students intake 61 at National Economics University, so I only focus on translating from English to Vietnamese. Moreover, translating into Vietnamese is a translation into the mother tongue.
In the translation process, we also need to have knowledge in social, cultural, linguistic, etc. People find it simpler to compare with their mother tongue as a result. Google Translate is a well-known machine translation tool. The English- Vietnamese language pair is one of several pairs of languages with increasing accuracy.
Many years ago, when a professional translator was not available, Google Translate has been used to assist individuals in translating words, phrases, clauses, or entire paragraphs from one language (SL) to another. The majority throughout the world use Google Translate, making it the most well-liked machine Tran Thị Dung — 11191180 - Business English 61C translation. According to Kroulek (2016), 103 languages are currently supported by Google Translate, which is used by more than 500 million people daily to translate more than 100 billion words. Thus, it emphasizes the significance of Google Translate's translation quality.
Furthermore, Google Translate can be used for free, in contrast to other prominent translation software. No need for high expenses, subscription fees, or anything else. All you have to do to use it is open the app or your browser. Consequently, we should anticipate machine translation technology developing quickly.
Research methodology This reasearch aims to find out the support of GT in the Translation process. The research is conducted by combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, informing the questionnaire for students, respectively. The population of this research was the students of Business English Department at NEU. The sample of this reasearch was the 7th semester students in Business English Department.
The questionnaire in this research will be designed by the researcher. The questionnaire collects quantitative information on the participants as well as broad perceptions about a group (Fraenkel, Wallen, & Hyun, 2015). The first section was intended to gather general information, the frequency of using GT, students’ perceptions, and any writing-related obstacles they may be facing. As a result, the second portion sought to clarify how they actually used GT.
It had four statements, each of which asked for a response from 1 to 5 on the Likert Scale (1= strongly disagree, 2= disagree, 3= neutral, 4= agree, 5= strongly agree). Through the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program (SPSS Statistics), all quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Mean). Organization of the research The research consists offour parts: Chapter 1, Introduction. This part presents the rationale, the scope, the research question, the methods, and the design of the research.

The Definition of Translation Translation is the act of converting communications from one language to another, although there are various meanings of the term, such as the one provided by the Oxford Dictionary, which states that translation is the process of converting anything that is said or written into a different language. Before doing the actual translation, it is necessary to understand translation in order to acquire the competence of translating English sentences from a source language into a target language. However, it's not that easy to define what translation is. There are several definitions of translation offered by different experts.
They provide several meanings for the term "Translation." According to Wiratno (2003), translation is the process of converting a message from SL to TL. The source language is referred to as the "Source Language," while the "Target Language" is the language into which the translation is made.
