Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi dan dengan hadirnya smartphone.
Google merupakan salah satu platform yang paling sering dikunjungi. Dalam perkembangannya Google tidak hanya sebagai mesin pencari yang membantu pengguna internet menemukan link ke suatu halaman web, tetapi juga menyediakan mesin terjemahan. Oleh karena itu, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana persepsi mahasiswa terhadap penggunaan Google translate sebagai media penerjemahan materi bahasa Inggris.
Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui hasil observasi mahasiswa lokal A 2018 sebanyak 30 orang dan interview yang melibatkan 5 orang dari mahasiswa fakultas tarbiyah dan keguruan. Untuk pengumpulan data, penulis menggunakan teknik seperti angket dan wawancara sebagai data pendukung.
