Rationale of the study It is popularly admitted that Language is an essential component of our society's cultural richness, as well as the world's in general.
However, in order to stay up with the global standards in today's world, also known as the worldwide community, we must grasp English, an international language. Today, English is often regarded as the most widely used language for exchanging information and ideas among many nations and cultures. Countries can have mutual understanding and a sense of global citizenship in this multilingual environment thanks to their English translated versions. It is regarded as an effective method of learning to understand diverse cultures, communities, and people." People can get insight into their own culture and civilization by making comparisons, as well as mutually trade countries' beauty of cultural values.
Furthermore, in today's period when countries are integrating for overall growth, English translated version helps induviduals comprehend each other better in the process of diplomatic relations, economic cooperation, and other fields. Therefore, English translation has steadily become a necessary and pressing tool that lays the groundwork for the global success of individuals, organizations, and even corporations in today's more developed society and fierce competition. When a result, as Vietnam becomes a member of the World Trade Organization, Vietnamese students of English must have excellent translation skills so that they can meet the demand for integration into the global economy and cultural exchange with other nations. As a result, mastering translation skills is unquestionably advantageous for Vietnamese students seeking in the future employment.
In the era of integration, universities are also paying special attention to training English majors with intensive translation skills as well as other English skills so that they can contribute their competence. its true language for the development of society. To accomplish this task well, understanding the difficulties of Vietnamese students when studying translation, Vietnamese - English translation is considered by National Economics University as a subject of practical significance for Vietnamese students. English majors begin their second year of interpreting courses.
Understanding the importance of learning Nguyễn Thị Diễm Lộc — 11193128 - Business English 61B Vietnamese - English translation, students always want to improve their translation skills. However, translation is an art that requires a lot of practice, expertise in both source language and target language. According to Searls-Ridge (2000), “Good translation skills are not born from birth, but from diligent practice. Every foreign language learner can become excellent translators if they go through the process of studying and practicing translation constantly”.
With the explosion of scientific and technological achievements today, choosing a useful online translation tool is not too difficult for foreign language learners in general and students of spoken language in particular. However, to best support their foreign language translation practice, learners should also equip themselves with reliable translation tools. The “Google Translate” tool is one of the popular online translation tools. “Google Translate provides one billion translations every day to more than 200 million users” (Shankland, 2013).
Just with an electronic device with an internet connection such as a computer, iPad, smartphone, etc., users can access the translation immediately and without any cost (Anazawa et al, 2013). So, does "Google Translate" really bring the best utilities for language major students? Is “Google Translate” really the most reliable tool for translating from English to Vietnamese for language students? In this article, the rearcher wants to mention the advantages and disadvantages in using the "Google Translate" tool to support English to Vietnamese translation for senior year language major students at National Economic university in the process of translation process. Objectives of the Study The study is aimed at advantages and disadvantages of using Google translate in English Vietnamese translation process, focusing on senior of BE major at NEU.

Conceptual Framework The conceptual framework for the research is shown in Figure 1.
The constructivism theory and the personal learning environment are the two theories that the study uses as its guiding principles. The first theory is constructivism, which emphasizes the creation of new knowledge based on previous knowledge with various perspectives (Reeves, 1992) .Hency, This theory enables the learner to construct new knowledge using his or her past information by employing web- based tools (GT tools), (Koohang et al. 2009) The second idea, known as the "personal learning environment hypothesis," supports lifelong, informal education where students with various learning preferences can profit from the classroom setting (the Web and GT) (Attwell, 2007). Thus, this idea makes it easier for learners—those with various learning preferences—to use GT for informal, individual translation of various texts in Nguyễn Thị Diễm Lộc — 11193128 - Business English 61B and out of the classroom.
The study addressed the problems with GT and the value of GT based on the principles of these theories. The study also aims to pointout the flaws and shortcomings of machine learning.
