The title I will research is "The Impact of Google Translate on the Writing Quality of Vietnamese EFL Students at a Huflit University."

The aims of my research:

Two crucial results will come from the poll used in this study:

1. To measure the difference in writing scores (focusing on grammar and vocabulary) between a control group and an experimental group.

2. To analyze the errors in the final products to determine the "machine translation artifacts" common in student writing.

Research questions

1. To what extent does the use of Google Translate (GT) improve the overall grammatical accuracy lexical variety in the essays of Vietnamese EFL students at a Huflit University?

2. What are the most common types of writing errors that Google Translate fails to correct into students' essays?

Methodology: mixed (quant/qual)

Hi Như
Your title is very well-defined. You have clear independent (Google Translate) and dependent (Writing Quality) variables.
Your questions are strong, but you can make them even more "measurable" by defining your terms:
- Consider how you will measure "lexical variety." Would it help to use a specific metric
- The phrase "fails to correct" is excellent. You might want to categorize these as "Machine Translation Artifacts."
