Translation teaching


After yrs of control of a prescriptive approaches over Translations education, possibly time has arrived for a severe alteration within Translations education methods. Translations education should no longer be visualized as a group of system & statements by Translations teachers to the students as to what strategies may result to a 'skillful' or 'right' translations and what to a 'wrong' and 'incorrect' one. Understanding the importance of decision-making in translations, the Translations teachers must attempt to key out the actual translational decisions reached by genuine translator under various socio-cultural and ideological scopes around real life and real situations, and teach you the perlocutionary results resulted given by adoption of such conclusions for the students. They should permit the student to choose voluntarily between various alternatives they have at hand, prompting them that they will become responsible for the selections they make. Translations teachers should clear up for the students that each translation holds its own target decided by its translators, and that they may freely pick out the selections that best help their intended objective of translation.
