Digital translation tools in foreign language teaching and learning

DeepL, Leo and Co. are used extensively and for various purposes, however, their benefits for foreign language teaching and learning remain contested. Some consider these tools to be of educational value, while others express their doubts on the sustainability of their contribution to language learning.

This project examines the advantages and limitations of digital translation aids with regards to the following questions: - To what extent do digital translation tools contribute to language learning? - How do they influence the development of language skills, in particular writing and vocabulary learning? - What learner groups are likely to benefit particularly from these tools?
