-Abstract
Mixing technology with translation pedagogy is considered one of the recent methodologies in translation classrooms. The current research aimed to explore the effect of using an online collaborative translation technique based on Google Classroom on developing translation competence for English Majors and exploring their attitudes towards online collaboration. The study used the quasi-experimental pre-posttest. Two groups were randomly chosen amongst English Section Students at faculty of Education at Assiut University. The experimental group received training on translation through the suggested online collaborative translation technique while the control group received regular translation instruction. The experimental group students were engaged in collaborative translation tasks via Google Classroom three times a week for five weeks. Tools of the study included a pre-post translation test and a questionnaire to measure students' attitudes towards online collaboration. Results of the study showed that using the suggested collaborative translation technique improved English majors' translation competence. In addition, the results revealed that students developed positive attitudes towards online collaboration.
