While current translation theory is beginning to reconcile cultural and linguistic approaches to translation, this is far from the case in translation pedagogy and curriculum. This paper will argue in favour of a socio-cultural turn in translation pedagogy and curriculum design with specific reference to the Canadian/Québec context where the social, political and economic dimensions of the prac...

There has been a fair amount of work on automatic speech translation systems that translate in real-time, serving as a computerized version of a simultaneous interpreter. It has been noticed in the field of translation studies that simultaneous interpreters perform a number of tricks to make the content easier to understand in real-time, including dividing their translations into small chunks, ...

The present study assessed the construct validity and reliability of a researcher-constructed psycho-motor mechanism scale based on the communicative theory of translation proposed by PACTE (2003). In doing so, the necessary criteria for designing the scale were obtained by a thorough review of related literature on previously constructed scales in error analysis or holistic ones. Moreover, in ...

since any kind of training aims at educating professionals, this research tries to merge theoretical and practical bases of translation training and remove any obstacles in different educational programs existing in the fields of translation studies. translation training is not confined to language teaching, although mastering both source and target languages will make the translators more succ...

The notion of Translation Quality Assessment has been the object of many studies. TQA as the compre- hensive treatment of translation evaluation, focuses on the relationship between the source text and target text and also emphasizes that translation is a linguistic operation. To accomplish this research, House‟s model of TQA was chosen as the framework for the investigation ...
