Abstract

Comprehending English texts is sometimes not easy for students in Indonesia because English is a foreign language. Especially for students at the university level who often encounter academic texts with more advanced vocabulary. The development of AI technology such as translation websites has a role in helping these students understand English readings. This research aims to find out how students at the university level use translation strategies to understand English texts. This research used a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data through mini focus group discussions. Participants consisted of 8 people who were divided into 2 discussion groups, English major (English Education) and non-English major (Public health) student groups. Based on the students' statements, the study revealed that the type of text affects the way they understand English texts. Lack of vocabulary mastery and self-confidence are the main reasons for them to use translation. Google Translation and DeepL are the most popular tools for them in helping them understand English texts. However, they remain aware that their background knowledge and experience are still needed in using technology so that they are not complacent and can improve their own abilities. Keywords: Translation, reading comprehension, AI-assisted learning
