In this article, the term linguistically diverse students is used to refer to “students whose first language is other language than Latvian. The scientific data collected by the author are from 2013/2014 academic year until 2015/2016 academic year (3 academic years). Machine translation technology is constantly being applied by linguistically diverse students, but a machine cannot assess whether a sentence sounds good or bad. Motivation is a powerful force in second-language learning. The aim of the research is to find out how to solve linguistically diverse 1st year university students’ problems with machine translation. Educational support and motivation enhancement are very important.
