Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely used in the field of translation in recent years. However, the use of AI in translation has been limited due to its limitations in handling cultural nuances, implicit meanings, and complex language structures. This study aims to analyse the meta-language awareness of English Language Education students in conducting critical analysis of translation since the emergence of AI. In addition, this study explores how students assess the accuracy and bias in AI translation results and the extent to which they are able to correct or improve the translation independently. This case study focuses on students' perspectives and viewpoints in understanding, evaluating, and critiquing the translation results produced by AI and how their critical analysis skills develop in the context of translation. The findings highlight that AI can serve as a valuable tool, but it should not be solely relied upon for tasks requiring deep linguistic understanding, particularly in academic, professional, and cross-cultural communication settings.

Abstract

This research examines students' perceptions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), focusing on their views regarding its benefits and challenges. Conducted at the English Language Education Study Program, Tarbiyah Faculty, IAIN Parepare, this study involved 30 students selected through random sampling to ensure generalizability. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing structured interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to gather insights into students’ experiences with AI tools such as Elsa Speak, Duolingo, and Google Assistant. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes and key perspectives. The findings revealed that students perceive AI as both advantageous and limiting in their EFL learning journey. On the positive side, AI was seen as increasing motivation, boosting confidence in speaking, and providing practical opportunities for self-directed learning. However, students also expressed concerns regarding overreliance on AI tools, decreased creativity in language production, and AI's inability to adapt to individual learning styles and personalities. Additionally, some participants worried about AI’s potential impact on future job opportunities. The study concludes that while students generally view AI as a valuable aid in EFL learning, they recognize the need for a balanced approach. Educators and learners should integrate AI with traditional learning methods to enhance effectiveness while minimizing its limitations. Future research should further explore students' long-term perceptions of AI and its role in diverse EFL learning contexts.
