“…In addition, it was found that the total number of the studies classified by user types exceeded the number of included studies, as two studies involved mixed users. Both graduate students and university teachers participated in Hellmich and Vinall's study [34], while Kelly and Hou [1] interviewed elementary school students and teachers. Less than half of the included studies (N = 9) adopted theoretical frameworks, including seven theories, models, and frameworks.…”

“…Thus, it is also considered to be the pedagogy that encourages students to motivate all linguistic resources for learning and understanding. Kelly and Hou [1] utilized a translanguaging framework to explore how pupils and teachers perceive machine translation in multilingual learning. This theory can be appropriately used to appraise machine translation and understand bilingual or multilingual students' uses of it.…”

“…Students reported several benefits of machine translation, which played different roles in actual pedagogical use. It served as an essential survival tool for pupils to communicate with their teachers and peers [1]. Many studies also indicated that machine translation acted as a language learning resource [35,38].…”

“…Teachers take positive attitudes towards machine translation as they have experienced the benefits of introducing this technology in the classroom. Through a translation applica-tion, teachers could communicate with dual language learners in students' home languages, thus achieving positive interactions and providing students with a sense of security [1,29]. Teachers preferred to regard machine translation as a multimodal tool to help beginners to understand instructions and participate in the class [1].…”

“…With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, machine translation (MT) has gained popularity in recent years. MT tools are widely used among individuals, from pupils [1] to senior citizens [2]. In everyday life, this technology can be used for household tasks, news, personal communication, internet shopping, entertainment, and legal services [2].…”

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, machine translation (MT) has gained popularity in recent years. This study aims to present a systematic review of literature on MT-assisted language learning in terms of main users, theoretical frameworks, users’ attitudes, and the ways in which MT tools are integrated with language teaching and learning. To this end, relevant peer-reviewed articles (n = 26) were selected through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P) for further analysis. The findings revealed that the main MT users were undergraduate and graduate students. Both teachers and students held mixed attitudes for different reasons. It was also found that MT integration followed four steps, i.e., introduction, demonstration, task assignment, and reflection. The procedures of MT integration could be updated and perfected by introducing other features in the future.
