This study used a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and documentation in the form of lesson plans, syllabuses, and student work results. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which involved three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing.
The results of the study indicate that Google Translate is useful in teaching writing recount text paragraphs. Google Translate helps students understand the structure of recount texts, find new vocabulary, and improve grammatical accuracy in writing. The use of Google Translate also increases students' motivation and interest in learning because of its ease of access and operation. The study also found that the use of Google Translate has several disadvantages, such as excessive dependence on tools, translation errors, and the potential loss of creativity in writing. Therefore, the use of Google Translate must be balanced with the development of independent writing skills and guidance from teachers.
