The results briefly highlight the students’ intentional tendency of Google Translate in respects to accomplish English tasks efficiently. Find the translation results of technical vocabulary, accomplish writing tasks, and access to direct assistance are elaborated as the findings along detail concerns of utilizing the tool.
