“…Comparison of the results of translation with those of other language learning activities in different contexts can be useful in enhancing the role of translation in language learning and teaching. This may help promote language proficiency in Vietnam, where foreign languages, particularly English, are used for different purposes (Truong & Le, 2022).…”

Translation has been long excluded from language classes due to its association with the drawbacks of the Grammar Translation Method (GTM). However, in recent years, translation has made a comeback with its positive impact on students’ language performance. The effect of translation on the learner’s language knowledge has been finite compared with other language activities. The paper presents a critical analysis of research on translation in language teaching. It is found that the limited results of studies on the impact of translation may involve linguistic focus. Generally, most of the studies did not focus on the meaningfulness of linguistic items, which can only be achieved by placing them in context. In other words, the linguistic view of translation is still common in studies supporting translation. The redefinition of translation should incorporate communicative aspects of translation and the function of translation in a communicative context. The literature-based paper reinstates the importance of a communicative view of translation in language teaching, and it makes proposals related to the inclusion of translation in language learning classes.

“…Take YouTube as an example of how it can help students improve their listening skills. Truong & Le (2022) affirmed that with the use of Youtube, students are able to enhance their listening skills and obtain a great deal of new vocabulary and grammar knowledge. Moreover, they mentioned some significant functions, such as repetition cues, which can help students listen to the content as much as possible until they understand it.…”

This research aims to investigate university students' problems and reasons and find solutions to the problems. The researcher utilized the questionnaire to investigate this kind of problem of 84 Faculty of Foreign Languages (FFL) sophomores from class 20AV01 and conducted paired samples T-test on one of the classes, which consisted of 22 participants in the experimental group within a month. The findings show that FFL sophomores- their listening ability, in general, was lower than expected since a considerable number of them could only understand simple and slow English utterances. The lack of vocabulary and pronunciation knowledge and in respect of speaker factors, "informal language", "fast and instant speech", and "the accents" from the speaker are the main causes of their failure to understand English utterances. The Paired-Samples T-test results revealed a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores (r=0.529, p<0.001), and on average, the post-test scores were 14.3 points higher than the pretest scores. This finding suggests the importance of vocabulary and pronunciation in English listening and self-study through mass media should be taken into more concern.

Education in the digital age demands innovative approaches to learning, particularly in developing problem-solving skills. The main problem faced in traditional education is the lack of real context and practical situations that stimulate students' critical and creative thinking. A potential solution to this problem is the utilization of YouTube as a problem-solving-based learning medium. YouTube provides access to a variety of educational content featuring case studies, simulations, and real-life examples, which can assist students in understanding and applying concepts in a more practical context. This study uses mixed research methods to investigate how YouTube can be utilized in problem-solving-based learning. Data collection was conducted through quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with students and educators who have used YouTube in their learning. Data analysis shows that the integration of YouTube in learning can improve students' concept understanding, facilitate problem identification and analysis, and support the real-time exchange of ideas and solutions through the interactivity of the platform. The results show the potential of YouTube as an innovative learning tool that can improve students' problem-solving skills. The use of educational videos and interactive features such as comments and live streaming encourage student engagement and collaborative learning. This research provides insights for educators in designing and implementing learning strategies that utilize digital technology effectively.
