Amid the strengthening of comprehensive strategic cooperation between Vietnam and South Korea across various fields, the demand for high-quality Korean translation and interpretation professionals is steadily increasing. At the same time, with the rapid advancement of technology and artificial intelligence, machine translation tools are becoming more prevalent and widely used in Korean translation and interpretation.
To respond to these demands and trends, integrating machine translation technology into Korean translation and interpretation education programs has become an essential requirement, opening new opportunities to improve teaching methods and enhance educational quality. This study provides an overview of the current application of machine translation technology in translation education and investigates its impact on translation courses for Korean majors at the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University – Hanoi. The findings indicate that the integration of machine translation technology contributes to the improvement of students’ language proficiency and the development of critical thinking skills, thereby enhancing the quality of translation courses. The study also offers recommendations for the advancement of translation curricula and the application of technology in Korean translation education, aiming to move toward a more flexible and efficient educational model in the digital era.
