Abstract

The objective of this research was to discover the correlation between students' translation ability and the frequency of using Google translate. This research applied a quantitative approach with a correlational research design. The sample for this research included 36 representative from the sixth-semester students, who have completed Translation subjects for 2 semesters. The researcher used an online questionnaire and translation test to collect the data. The data was computed and analyzed by using Pearson correlation. The score of correlation obtained is -0.075 which is in the interval of 0.00-0.20. Thus, the relationship is categorized as a very low correlation. Furthermore, based on the calculation of the product moment suggested that the p-value is higher than the level of significance (0.662>0.05) which means the Null Hypothesis (N0) is accepted and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is rejected. It means there is no significant correlation between students ' translation ability and the frequency of using Google translate of English study program students at Riau University. The calculation of determination of coefficient additionally indicated that only 0.6 % students’ translation ability was influenced by the frequency of Google Translate use.
