A review of research on computer‐aided translation technologies and their applications to assist learning and instruction.
Background: Our study analysed 46 articles on computer‐aided translation (CAT) and its educational uses. We explored two main areas: CAT technologies in learning and teaching, and the research methodologies of these studies. Objectives: Our review covered the types of CAT technologies used, their ap...

We explored two main areas: CAT technologies in learning and teaching, and the research methodologies of these studies. Objectives: Our review covered the types of CAT technologies used, their applications in different learning settings, theoretical backgrounds and their pros and cons. We also looked at the research designs, participant demographics and data collection methods used in these studies. Methods: We conducted an extensive search across academic databases using relevant keywords and employed open coding to analyse and categorize the content of identified articles, focusing on aspects related to CAT technologies in educational contexts. Results and Conclusions: Our findings showed the use of 22 distinct CAT technologies, with Google Translate being the most common. The studies mostly used empirical research methods and questionnaires. University students were the primary participants. CAT technologies were applied in various contexts, including language learning, translation teaching, cross‐cultural learning and foreign language lectures. We identified five key theoretical foundations for CAT use. Benefits included bridging language barriers, vocabulary enhancement, and grammar improvement as well as providing reference and feedback for writing and translation. Challenges included inaccuracies and inappropriate translations. However, most studies showed a positive impact of CAT on learning outcomes. Based on our analysis, we offer recommendations for educators and researchers in the field. This review provides a thorough understanding of CAT's applications and effects in education, guiding future advancements in this area. Lay Description: What is currently known about the subject matter: CAT tools enhance language learning and teaching.Inaccuracies in CAT translations affect learning.CAT tools are primarily used in language learning contexts. What this paper adds: Explores CAT tools in non‐language learning contexts.Identifies challenges and benefits of CAT technology.Highlights importance of theoretical foundations in CAT research The implications of study findings for practitioners: Guidance on effective and ethical CAT tool use is crucial.Need for strategies to improve CAT translation accuracy.Recommends expanding CAT applications in diverse contexts.Emphasizes developing machine translation literacy. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
