metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article explores the evolving attitude of language teachers towards machine
  translation (MT) in foreign language education. In response to the improved
  quality and increased implementation of MT in practical settings, educators
  are shifting from outright prohibition to integrating it as a motivational and
  educational tool. The suggested approach involves three key steps. Firstly, students
  are shown the general weaknesses of MT and specific challenges related
  to language pairs. Secondly, students are trained to identify potential translation
  errors independently. Lastly, students are encouraged to continually enhance
  their language skills to compete effectively with MT. The study emphasizes
  incorporating MT-generated examples into exams to assess students’ true
  translation skills while preventing unauthorized MT use. It argues that such a
  method simultaneously evaluates students and avoids biased claims. Additionally,
  the article delves into the current state of MT research, citing works by
  various researchers globally. It highlights the surge in studies post-2016 due to
  significant advancements in MT program development. The main goal of the
  article is to analyze the use of MT not just as a practical translation tool but as
  a means to enhance students’ motivation in philology. The prerequisites for
  effective use of MT in the learning process are discussed, emphasizing the importance
  of teaching students to use it judiciously. Examples from Japanese to
  Russian illustrate potential pitfalls in MT, emphasizing the need for first master
  the basics of the target language for successful use. The article concludes with
  an example of analyzing MT errors in a scientific book for children. It suggests
  that despite MT’s progress, educators should guide students to approach translation
  thoughtfully. The study proposes that, when used judiciously, MT can
  aid language learning, providing opportunities for grammar practice, serving
  as a tutor, and encouraging deeper study of related disciplines.
