| Zusammenfassung: | This workshop deals with ubiquitous tools for learning, neural machine translation (NMT) systems. Numerous students use these to read articles or as support to produce their own L2 texts (Delorme Benites et al. 2021). Hellmich (2021) reports that MT can support but also hinder students’ writing performance. Bowker & Buitrago Ciro (2019) have advocated that researchers should develop MT literacy. Language teachers have tried to introduce MT tools in the teaching of academic writing and found that, with MT, students wrote more words, longer sentences and better vocabulary (Kol et al. 2018) and they provided texts with less mistakes and more complex vocabulary (Tsai 2019; Lee 2020; Xu 2021; Lee & Briggs 2021). These experiments are interesting but some of these results are put into question by our understanding that NMT output, although of excellent grammatical and lexical quality, has numerous bias (e.g. gender, Stanosky et al. 2019) and shows a lack of diversity in both grammar and lexicon compared to human translation (Loock 2020; de Clerq et al. 2021). Also, it is very difficult for students to identify and correct MT errors (Loock & Léchauguette 2021). Students could thus introduce mistakes because of faulty MT output. This workshop is targeted at language teachers who teach academic writing but it is open to all teachers and researchers interested in machine translation. Its aim is twofold. Important facts about NMT and its use in higher education will be discussed and shared between participants, based on a survey conducted in 2020-2021 in Swiss universities (Delorme Benites et al. 2021). Participants will then be asked to share their experience with NMT in the writing classroom. Lastly, small-group discussions will be organised to discuss real teaching scenarios so that students may benefit from this technology without falling into the pitfall outlined above. |
