초록
The purpose of the study is to explore Korean college students’ beliefs about translation in English learning and to investigate whether translation strategy has a significantly positive effect on business English learning. The data from survey questionnaire suggested that most participants hold the belief that translation plays a positive role in their English learning process and that they frequently use translation as a learning strategy. The three experiments found that (1) translation learning was more effective than context learning in learning new business English words; (2) translation benefited participants’ business English reading in terms of enhancing their reading comprehension and translation during reading helped improve their ability to comprehend sentence structures appearing in the text, and (3) the translation task was more effective in helping participants acquire the ability to produce English sentences with a target structure than the direct writing task, so translation could be a useful tool in helping improve writing accuracy.
