Abstract

This research aims to explore students' experiences in using the Google Translate application to support English language learning at Khairun University. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving ten fourth-semester students from the English Language Education Study Program as participants, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The result revealed that most students used Google Translate to understand English texts, translate sentences, complete assignments, and expand vocabulary. The application was perceived as practical, fast, and easy to use, with the text translation features being the most frequently utilized. However, challenges such as inaccurate translations, contextual errors, and overdependence on the application were also identified. Students reported that while Google Translate supported their comprehension and learning, it should be complemented by other resources, such as dictionaries, to enhance translation accuracy and reduce reliance on technology. The research concludes that Google Translate provides significant benefits in facilitating English learning but requires critical use and integration with traditional learning tools to optimize.
