This study demonstrates free online translation software's inability to produce translations that are both grammatically acceptable and stylistically appropriate, which runs counter to many students' belief that automatic machine translation produces perfect English sentences from their Japanese base texts. Effective use of machine translation requires an understanding of three kinds of difference: inter-linguistic syntactic difference, intercultural pragmatio-social difference ; and lexico-grammatical appropriacy difference. This paper examines some problems inherent in using Internet-based translation software and offers suggestions on how English teachers in Japan can integrate skills involved in using machine translation effectively in their writing classes.
