Overview

Abstract:

In teaching English, beside the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking), translating is often supposed to be one of the most necessary and difficult ones, for both lecturers and students to face great challenges. Traditional translation classes are boring and stressful, so finding ways to create a more dynamic, positive, and vibrant learning environment has always been one of the goals of translation teachers. Based on previous studies that have shown certain benefits of peer response in the EFL translation and writing class, this study is intended for finding out the effects of applying peer responses through Google Classroom in an English Translation Course at School of Foreign Languages ​​- Thai Nguyen University. 27 students of English Language Teaching undergraduate program participated in this study. They were then given questionnaires to refine and provide information, from which, combined with data from classroom observations and assessment of student’s translation drafts, the authors obtained the results of the study. The study shows that, thanks to the application of peer response via Google Classroom, not only the student’s motivation, engagement and interaction have greatly increased, but also the student’s translation skills have significantly improved. This study is a valuable reference for researchers, teachers of translation courses and others interested in the field.
