<b>LITERATURE REVIEW </b>

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 11</span><div class="page_container" data-page="11">

<b>2.1. Overview of Chat GPT2.1.1. Definition of Chat GPT </b>

According to Haleem, Javaid, and Singh (2022), ChatGPT is a generative pre-trained transformer that is currently garnering a lot of attention. The term "Generative," or "G," in the acronym GPT refers to the tool's text-producing ability. Pre-training, or "P," is the process of using a model from one machine learning job to train another, in a manner similar to how people use their past knowledge to pick up new skills. There is a lot of text available on ChatGPT for pre-training. The "Transformer" neural network (represented by the letter 𝑇) looks at the overall relationship between each component of the data series. It is a free chatbot that can answer almost any query. It was developed by OpenAI and released for public testing. As of right now, it's the best AI chatbot ever. Computer code, college-level essays, poetry, and even somewhat acceptable jokes have all been produced by the chatbot. Furthermore, Chat GPT is a formidable tool that Velibor (2023) notes has the ability to revolutionize how we engage with technology by facilitating more intuitive and natural conversation between people and machines. It is now being investigated for use in education as a means of improving student learning and engagement. Examples of its current uses include virtual assistants, language translation software, and chatbots for customer service. Moreover, Deng and Lin (2022) state that ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) that can generate appropriate responses to context and carry on natural-sounding conversations.

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 12</span><div class="page_container" data-page="12">

<b>2.1.2. Origin of Chat GPT </b>

Calvin (2023) said that Wojciech Zaremba, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, and John Schulman co-founded OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT. Subsequently, Sam Altman became the CEO. For almost ten years, OpenAI has been developing the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) family of big language models. Just a few months after ChatGPT made its debut, the most recent model, GPT-4, was introduced. Furthermore, Iryna Tetyana (2023) assumes that the service was introduced in November 2022; yet, its fundamental algorithm, GPT-3, was developed in 2020. As of this writing, the most recent version is GPT-4, which was made available in March 2023.

<b>2.1.3. Features of Chat GPT </b>

In the analysis of Haleem, Javaid, and Singh (2022) ChatGPT includes features like remembering aspects, supportive communication, follow-up corrections, etc. Besides these diverse features and capacities, a number of drawbacks have been noted, including the potential for biased content to appear and occasionally inaccurate information to be generated. Moreover, a number of other advantages and uses for chatGPT are further illustrated and explained. It can carry out simple tasks and generate documents that seem like human speech in casual settings. The goal of ChatGPT is to develop a cooperative AI system that can generate informative, interesting, and contextually appropriate discourse. In addition, Yu (2023) demonstrates that the primary characteristic of Chat GPT and other like products is the existence of defined guidelines for content creation. These products are deeply ingrained in people's daily lives and have the capacity to form tight personal connections with each user, which has a dramatic impact on people's behavior patterns and encourages ongoing innovation in learning processes.

<b>2.1.4. Roles of Chat GPT in education in the modern era. </b>

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 13</span><div class="page_container" data-page="13">

Velibor (2023) claims that Chat GPT may be used to build chatbots and online tutoring systems that assist students in honing their language skills. These chatbots may mimic in-person interactions and give students immediate feedback on their vocabulary, grammar, and voice. Additionally, by evaluating a student's writing style, making suggestions for enhancements, and offering feedback on grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes, the GPT can be used to assist students in developing their writing abilities. Additionally, essays and other written assignments can be automatically graded by GPT, which can save teachers a ton of time and provide students with quick feedback on their work. Moreover, students can have individualized learning experiences made possible by GPT. GPT can provide individualized recommendations for learning materials, including articles, videos, and textbooks, based on an analysis of a student's learning styles and interests. In a similar vein, Iryna Tetyana (2023) claims that ChatGPT offers students on-demand support and direction on a variety of subjects. Due to its round-the-clock accessibility, students may get help whenever they need it, which lessens their reliance on more conventional resources like in-person instructors and textbooks. It might offer other viewpoints and resources than those found in textbooks or conventional educational environments. Students can participate in individualized learning experiences catered to their unique needs and interests by interacting with ChatGPT. Based on the learning styles of the students, ChatGPT can modify its responses and resources to help them understand subjects more fully.

<b>2.2. English Translation Proficiency 2.2.1 Definitions of translation </b>

There are many definitions of translation. Catford ideas are best expressed in his work A Linguistic Theory of Translation. In the beginning of the book, he proposes: “Translation is an operation performed on languages: a process of substituting a text in one language for a text in another. Clearly, then, any theory of translation must draw upon a theory of language - a general linguistic theory.” (Catford, 1965, p.1). Besides Nida’s views of translation are mainly embodied in Toward a Science of Translating and The Theory and Practice of Translation, in the former work, he regards translation as a scientific subject and points out that “the transference of a message from one language to another is a valid subject for scientific description” (Nida, 1964, p.3). In addition, Newmark.P (1988) also wrote that most translation means transferring content from one language to another while remaining true to the author's intention.

<b>2.2.2 Positive impact of ChatGPT on translation learning of students majoring in English Language. </b>

Xiao & Zhi (2023 ) point out GPT chat can enhance students' learning ability by providing students with necessary information knowledge. Additionally, according to Bonner, Lege, & Frazier (2023) ChatGPT can provide useful answers to students giving them the ability to dig deeper into their knowledge and improve their understanding. In this sense, as asserted by First(2023) GPT chat promotes student autonomy in learning. When accessing GPT chat, students can freely ask what they want without interference, enhancing students' sense of self-acquiring knowledge. Similarly, Chinonso, Theresa, & Aduke (2023) show that GPT Chat helps students’ study and research more effectively because it quickly responds to questions asked and fosters an attractive and adaptive learning environment. This view is supported by Grassini (2023) who writes that Chat GPT is an AI based tool that follows the advancement of technology. Therefore, it cultivates an interesting and flexible learning atmosphere. Baskara & Mukarto(2023) say that Chat GPT enhances students’ reading comprehension. Chat GPT exposes students to authentic texts. It provides potential materials to improve students’ reading comprehension. It promotes the enhancement of students’ vocabulary and grammar mastery. Chat GPT is designed to have

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 15</span><div class="page_container" data-page="15">

the ability to provide feedback by using human-like language. The language covers correct sentences and sophisticated vocabulary. Hence, it helps the students to elevate their vocabulary and grammar mastery level (Athanassopouls, et., al., 2023). There are people who agree with them Rueda (2023) chat GPT improves students’ learning experience and academic achievement. One of attractive aspects of Chat GPT is enriching students’ learning experience and facilitating the improvement of academic achievement.

<b>2.2.3 Nagative impact of chatGPT on translation learning of students majoring in English Language </b>

Although has many positive effects, Chat GPT still carries negative effects. According to Zhu,I.,C.,et., al. (2023) GPT chats can provide incorrect information because their data only stops at a specific time period, so it is difficult to avoid errors. Furthermore, it may diminish students' creativity as ChatGPT offers instantaneous feedback, which discourages them from utilizing their full creative potential (Shidiq, 2023). Walter, Cox, & Heyman (2023) point out that ChatGPT evidently poses challenges to academic integrity, as students may tend to depend on ChatGPT answers to complete their homework instead of utilizing it solely as a reference. Moreover, it potentially leads to plagiarism. The inclination to seek instant solutions without exerting significant effort may expose students to plagiarism issues, as it is tempting to copy and paste answers and then paraphrase them (Eke, 2023).

<b> 2.3. Impact of integrating Chat GPT into the learning curriculum on the enhancement of English translation skills </b>

<b>2.3.1. Positive effects </b>

<b>2.3.1.1. Language Learning </b>

Cribben & Zeinali (2023) maintains that ChatGPT holds promise for the development of chatbots and virtual language tutors aimed at enhancing students' language proficiency. These applications are capable of emulating authentic conversational interactions and furnishing instantaneous feedback on aspects such as grammar, pronunciation, and lexicon. Similarly, Oranga (2023) suggests that Chat GPT can assist in language learning by providing grammar corrections, suggesting synonyms, explaining idiomatic expressions,and engaging in conversations to improve language skills. Likewide,

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 16</span><div class="page_container" data-page="16">

Dilmegani (2024) hold the view that ChatGPT can be a valuable tool for language learning, improve their language skills. Extant research corroborates the efficacy of integrating AI technologies, including ChatGPT, in language education, with demonstrable benefits on student motivation, engagement, and academic outcomes (Ouyang et al., 2022; Liang et al., 2021; Roll & Wylie, 2016). Such AI-driven interventions offer personalized and adaptive learning modalities, affording learners the convenience of honing language proficiencies whilst receiving timely and tailored feedback (Kuleto et al., 2021)

<b>2.3.1.2. Instant Feedback </b>

Oanga (2023) point out that the role of ChatGPT in furnishing expeditious feedback on assignments, quizzes, and inquiries, thereby facilitating learners' comprehension of errors and expeditious rectification. Moreover, ChatGPT serves as a salient instrument for language acquisition, furnishing translations, grammatical elucidations, lexical drills, and conversational simulations, thereby fostering students' linguistic proficiency. Dilmegani (2024) have a point is similar to Mr. Oanga in respect of, extols the efficacy of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT in expeditiously processing and generating information, thereby engendering temporal savings and augmenting efficacy for educators and learners alike. This engenders a salutary milieu wherein students can divert attention to ancillary tasks, courtesy of the automated provision of immediate feedback and facile access to information facilitated by ChatGPT.

<b>2.3.2. Negative effects </b>

<b>2.3.2.1. Overreliance on Technology </b>

According to Cribben & Zeinali (2023) caution against the potential risk of students overly depending on ChatGPT and similar AI tools, which could detrimentally impact their critical thinking abilities and autonomy in learning. Overreliance on ChatGPT may result in a dependency that obstructs the development of independent translation skills, as users may grow accustomed to relying solely on AI for translation tasks without fully comprehending the linguistic intricacies involved. Furthermore, Oranga (2023) highlights the negative consequences of excessive AI usage, such as ChatGPT, on human interaction and critical thinking skills. Overdependence on technology for problem-solving may lead to a decline

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 17</span><div class="page_container" data-page="17">

in human interaction and a diminishing capacity for critical analysis. This overreliance on AI tools like ChatGPT can potentially hinder students' ability to engage in meaningful interactions and to think critically when faced with complex challenges.

<b>2.3.2.2. Limited Context Awareness </b>

Oranga (2023) argues that ChatGPT may occasionally produce responses that lack contextual appropriateness or coherence due to its limited understanding of the broader conversation context. it is evident that ChatGPT's shortcomings in understanding context and producing coherent responses can pose significant challenges in translation tasks.Similarly, Cribben and Zeinali (2023) emphasize that GPT models generate text based on learned patterns and associations from training data, lacking genuine comprehension of text context or meaning. It is a well-known fact that, translation requires not only linguistic proficiency but also a deep understanding of the cultural and contextual nuances inherent in language use. When ChatGPT fails to grasp these subtleties, it may produce translations that are inaccurate, nonsensical, or culturally inappropriate. Moreover, Biswas and Som (2023) observe that ChatGPT encounters difficulties in grasping context, resulting in misinterpretations and inaccurate responses during social media interactions. On balance, these studies collectively underscore the challenge posed by ChatGPT's inability to fully comprehend nuanced contextual cues, leading to occasional inaccuracies and nonsensical responses in text generation tasks.
