In such case we have to use information technology in order to better motivate learners learning languages with more interest comparing to traditional methods of teaching.

ABSTRACT

In modern society life is changing due to vast using innovative technology in all human domains, especially in higher

education system. Learning FL is a long, complex process, requires learners to work hard on acquisition linguistic skills

(writing, reading, speaking and listening). In such case we have to use information technology in order to better

motivate learners learning languages with more interest comparing to traditional methods of teaching. Consequently,

in reading comprehension adult learners mostly rely and spend much time on machine translation (GT) to perform

tasks such as translating authentic texts on specialty from German into Uzbek which enable them quick accomplishing

in that area of learning.

KEYWORDS

German language, Uzbek language, machine translation, written context, specialty.

INTRODUCTION

In acquisition of any languages, learners should have

sufficient vocabulary words or terminology which

specifies any profession they study. Reading

comprehension in German language classes for

professions is quite difficult because adult learners

cannot understand the known words while

interpreting the text. Furthermore, the learners must

know the meaning of the terminology of that field in

order to better interpretation of that word occurring in

the contexts. We decided to make needs analysis in

translating professionally-oriented contexts from

German into Uzbek language. We use different

translation methods in order to interpret the whole

meaning of the written context.

The view of linguists according to the translation

issues. To perceive meaning of whole context is not

easy because learners sometimes lack of prior,

grammatical and lexical knowledge. With the

infiltration of numerous translation tools and free

translation websites, electronic dictionaries, online

dictionaries or vocabulary glosses those are integrated

into language learning software or web pages

(Paramaswari Jaganathan, Maryam Hamzah, Ilangko

Subramaniam 2014; Laufer, B., & Hill, M. 2000) learners

may definite the meaning of text. What’s more,

Halliday reports that technical language is endowed

with many peculiarities regarding to grammar and

linguistic structures; lexicon, terminology, style, and

syntax. In addition, in the process of translating texts

with full of profession-oriented terminology learners

often encounter widely use of nominalization.

Nominalization is a type of word formation in which a

verb or an adjective is used as a noun (Halliday, M.A.K).

Nominalization together with pre-modification and

compounding all tend to reduce the number of

function words and make the text more ‘dense’ with

lexical words (Halliday, M.A.K;, Perez Ruiz, L., 2006;

Crespo, B., 2011). FL learners have to be sufficiently

familiar with the specific terminology, and even more

importantly, to have a good knowledge of the specific

concepts, processes, situations and phenomena the

specialized language is communicating (Zorita, C.H.,

Sand

oval, A.M., 2016; Robinson, D., 2012). What’s

more, Bozorgian and Azadmanesh also carried out an

experiment on the issues of translation by GT having

compared with human mind; as a result, findings

revealed that neural machine translation does not

handle subject-verb agreement very well while

translating English sentences into Persian comparing

to human mind translation. Therefore, human mind

translation is considered to be more effective and

productive than GT and human mind has the ability of

thinking and deciding which GT has not. Moreover,

Keshavarz linguistically divided errors into four major

groups as (a) orthographic errors, (b) phonological

errors,

(c)

lexicosemantic

errors,

and

(d)

morphological-syntactic errors. Error analysis for

learners is important as it indicates the areas of

difficulty in their writing. To translate a text GT

machine searches different documentaries to find the

best appropriate translation pattern between

translated texts by human Keshavarz, M. H. (1999).

SMT translates an European language into another

European language much better than those pairs of

languages which evolve asian languages (Karami, O.

2014). Not only are the scores from automatic machine

translation metrics not sufficient and clear to define

machine translation quality, but also they are

approximate and uncertain. Therefore, they fail in

providing enough insight for error analysis (Aiken, M.,

& Balan, Sh. .2011). Translation is of high importance for

better assimilation of the specialized terminology, as it

helps professionally oriented students to interpret

scientific and technical texts of the oil and gas sector

while reading. Furthermore, terminology of this field is

being more required by officials in recent years due to

the developments of oil and gas industry in our

country. Additionally, learners feel a failure in

translating specific vocabulary (technical terminology),

which complicates the comprehension of context in

the process of reading since they could hardly find L1

translation, and those translated from English into

Uzbek, that indicates the lexical deficiency in the field

of oil and gas in L1 (Abdinazarov. Kh. 2021)

Interpretation written context in German language

Die Studenten haben jahrlich zweimal Ferien, im Winter

und im Sommer. Deshalb heiben sie winterferien und

Sommerferien.

Die

Winterferien

nennt

man

Prasidenternferien. Die Winterferien sind kurz. Sie

dauern hochstens zwei Wochen. Dei Sommerferien

sind viel langer. Sie dauern von Anfang juli bis Ende

August.

Die Studenten veranstalten ihre Ferien, wie sie wollen.

Die Ferien sindfur dei Erholung gut geeignet. Da fahren

viele Studenten zu ihren Eltern und verbringen die Ziet

in Ruhe und Geborgenheit.

Talabalar yiliga ikki marta qishki va yozgi ta'tilga ega.

Shuning uchun ular qishki ta'til va yozgi ta'til deb

ataladi. Qishki ta'tillar prezident bayramlari deb ataladi.

Qishki ta'tillar qisqa. Ular maksimal ikki hafta davom

etadi. Yozgi ta'til ancha uzoqroq. Ular iyul oyining

boshidan avgust oyining oxirigacha davom etadi.

Talabalar ta'tilni o'zlari xohlagancha tashkil qiladi. Dam

olish kunlari dam olish uchun yaxshi. Ko'pgina talabalar

ota-onalari oldiga haydab, vaqtlarini tinchlik va

xavfsizlikda o'tkazishadi.

Conclusion. Language varies according to its lexic-

semantic, morphologic features. Knowing a word or

terminology of any sphere of science provides

additional knowledge, information. Furthermore, any

speciality has its wide range of vocabulary which we

should know for reading comprehension and listening

one. We carried out research translating written

context from German into Uzbek one by GT platform.

The result showed that semi-technical vocabulary

words can be translated by GT but technical one is very

difficult.
