The quality of translation robot has been greatly improved at an alarming rate in recent years, thanks to new, fast-developing technologies.It is declared that translation robot can be used in daily conversations . Some depend on it for day-to-day activities, while others use it in their job. Some companies desire that the users should feel great satisfaction while testing their new translation robot out.
But how will this affect language learning across the world? Will fewer people decide to take traditional language classes? Will human language teachers no longer be needed? Some are in sympathy with it while others are not. For those who are against it , they hold the view that the problem with translation robot is context. When you hear or read a sentence, your brain refers not only to the spoken words but also to its accumulated experience. The nonverbal languages including intonation, facial expressions , gestures, emotions cover more than 80% information in communication.
As an English teacher,I think it is ridiculous that robot can replace human teachers for I know that you can't read one's feelings like embarrassed, awful, envied, satisfied and so fuorth from the words of a machine and there are no real interactions between teachers and students.
