This study examined the impact of using AI translators on English reading and grammar. Fifty students were divided into two groups, with 25 students in each group. In the first experimental group, students translated texts without the aid of the tool, then modified and confirmed the accuracy of their translations with an AI translator. The second experimental group used the translation tool first and then revised the translations by discussing them together. Pre-and post-tests in reading and grammar were administered, along with pre-and post-surveys to assess perception changes. The findings revealed that the first group demonstrated significant improvement in reading, while their grammar remained unchanged. The second group showed improvement in both reading and grammar. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in the post-tests. Survey results indicated that the first group experienced changes in self-confidence in reading comprehension, sentence structure, and accurate interpretation, while the second group experienced changes in sentence structure and grammar learning. Both groups acknowledged advantages such as fast translation, improved comprehension, and convenience, but they also recognized disadvantages such as translation errors, ineffectiveness in enhancing English skills, and contextual awkwardness. These results provide valuable insights into the utilization of AI translators.
