- Technology is developing rapidly and getting more sophisticated with the advent of gadgets, such as computers and smartphones. Now, with the sophistication of smartphones, students can use Google to find out what is not known anywhere and anytime. One of the searches that students often use in learning English is Google Translate. Google Translate is a free multilingual translation service developed by Google which is used to translate text from one language to another. The students always open Google Translate many times when they don't know the meaning of a word, sentence, and text. This research aims to describe the twelfth grade students' perception towards Google Translate as supporting media to learn English at SMK Al-Hikmah Mayong. In this research, the researcher used descriptive qualitative research. The participants were students of XII TAV 1 and XII TAV 2 of SMK Al-Hikmah Mayong which consist of 50 students. The researcher collected the data by using a questionnaire. The finding of the research showed that the students of twelfth grade of SMK Al-Hikmah Mayong had a good perception towards Google Translate as supporting media to learn English with the majority of the answers they chose being “agree” that it helped them in learning English. They used Google Translate to help them such as to translate, check pronunciation, and check synonyms. However, the results of the text translation from Google Translate are less accurate. It has a much different meaning than the original meaning. Therefore, the researcher suggests Google Translate can be used by students as supporting media to learn English efficiently. So, the students can improve their understanding of the English material. Thus, the teacher is expected to allow students to use Google Translate in learning English.
