Abstract

In English as foreign language (EFL) classroom, using all-English materials is considered effortful due to the circumstances in which English is not basically used in student's daily inquiries. Yet the obligation to accomplish online tasks and practices during online class due to Covid-19 pandemic sometimes force students to instantly consult machine translation, in this case is Google Translate. When the tasks are fully written in English, it is considered that they tend to intensively use Google Translate once they encounter with unfamiliar words or something they know nothing about. Through a participatory observation, this present study descriptively examines how students tend to use Google Translate during the class. 34 first-year students of non-English department currently taking English course are involved in this study. The results briefly highlight the students’ intentional tendency of Google Translate in respects to accomplish English tasks efficiently. Find the translation results of technical vocabulary, accomplish writing tasks, and access to direct assistance are elaborated as the findings along detail concerns of utilizing the tool.
