AWARENESS AND PERCEPTIONS OF MACHINE TRANSLATION LITERACY AMONG STUDENTS OF LANGUAGES AND CULTURES

Summary/Abstract: The rapid development of artificial intelligence and neural machine translation has brought machine translation literacy into focus as part of digital literacy. Increasing attention is being paid to how students use machine translation in their studies. This article examines machine translation literacy among students of languages and cultures at Tallinn University and the University of Tartu. A total of 79 students participated in a survey designed to explore their attitudes towards machine translation, including whether they feel the need for clearer rules and guidance to support its effective use. The results show that while students are aware of machine translation to some extent, their trust in it remains limited. They express a need for clearer rules on where, how and when machine translation may be used, as well as for guidance to develop their literacy in this area. Estonia does not differ from other countries seeking answers to similar questions.
