This was tested in two master's level courses at a Catalan institution with mostly international students. The results suggest that the language of instruction, which was either English or Catalan, determined whether the participants perceived to comprehend the translation. Furthermore, speech style was essential, with scripted speech appearing to outperform unscripted speech. The goal of this study was to detect whether this program might be utilized to make university lectures more accessible to all students. The findings suggest that when the teacher uses scripted speech in the classroom, students of various language backgrounds seem to understand the key ideas of the lectures.6Reconocimiento - No comercial - Compartir igual (by-nc-sa)Speech-to-text translationMachine translationMicrosoft TranslateAutomatic speech recognitionMachine translation as a potential tool for comprehension in multilingual classesCapítulo de libro10.4995/EuroCALL2023.2023.16914Abierto
