Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 07

Abstract

Scholars have shown that authentic learning materials are crucial and advantageous for language classes as well as for translation classes, where students are highly motivated to translate and can gain from such a text. To enhance students' translation motivation, this quantitative study explores the advantages of using authentic documents in written translation courses. A population of 100 Vietnamese EFL students of English majors from a university in the south of Vietnam took part in the study voluntarily. A questionnaire was utilized as a tool for data collection in this study, which was carried out using a quantitative methodology. The results demonstrated that the participants believed that authentic materials could increase their motivation to complete tasks. The participants discovered advantages to employing translation authentication papers overall. Authenticated materials increased their motivation for translating.
