Abstract

This research aims to investigate teachers’ perception of the effective use of Google Translate (GT) in students’ writing. This research employs a qualitative approach, specifically descriptive qualitative design. The participants of this research were six teachers of an English Education Department of a private university in Yogyakarta. The data collection technique is an interview. This research revealed that teachers found GT effective to be used by the students in their writing activity. Furthermore, the teachers also stated the advantages of GT, which involve helping students find the information about the English language, increasing students’ vocabulary and its use, becoming a spelling checker, becoming a pronunciation checker, and becoming a grammatical solution. In addition, this research also found four strategies for using effective GT: doing pre-editing, doing post-editing, translating a single word, and only using GT for checking. The findings imply that GT is beneficial in students’ writing, and they should use it effectively.
