1.Why do we need better translation tools for teaching? 2.What makes machine translation so difficult for a computer? 3.Demonstration of new translation technology 4.What are the possibilities of this technology for learners and teachers, of all languages?

“Learning our first language(s) as a young child is a complex but ‘easy’ process; we acquire our ability to communicate in a natural way. By the age of 8 most children are able to comprehend the language(s) in common use around them and express themselves effectively” Andrew Ferguson, AF Consulting Image Creative Commons

“The teaching of additional language(s) would ideally replicate many of the conditions that support the acquisition of first language(s), e.g. communicative imperatives and immersion. Teaching methodologies are constantly evolving, with an increasing emphasis on purposeful, ‘real-life’ interaction, thus providing communicative imperatives for students. Unfortunately, though, many ‘additional’ languages programs are unable to offer solid immersion opportunities, thus students often miss out on constant and accurate role-modeling of ‘native’ pronunciation and accurate use of languages structures. The latter is particularly compounded by the inaccuracy of current language translation software, upon which students are increasingly reliant.” Andrew Ferguson, AF Consulting

Yehoshua Bar-Hillel (1950s) “The task of instructing a machine how to translate from one language it does not, and will not understand, into another language it does not, and will not understand, presents a real challenge…” What makes machine translation so difficult for a computer?
