Students’ Awareness and Performance of Translating Progressive Aspect

In most English classes, translation is one of the most popular performance tasks preferred by many educators. It is also used to practice grammar items as well as check students’ understanding. This study tested 61 college students in general English classes. Two groups were formed, English-Korean translation and Korean-English translation groups. Both groups were tested with the texts of the same contents. It was found that students used the repetitive Korean expressions with progressive aspect when they were asked to do English-Korean translation. However, with the Korean-English translation, they produced different sentences, but their sentences were often incorrectly translated. When translation is used in English classes, educators need to utilize a variety of translation strategies rather than using the same ones. Also understanding different contexts should be considered when students translate the texts.
