Research on Translation Teaching:Progress,Problems and Prospects(A)

本文用实证分析方法对1980-2006年间的我国翻译教学研究进行回顾分析,并指出这一领域已取得的成就和亟待解决的问题。本文还对未来的翻译教学进行了展望。

This article makes a critical review of research on translation teaching in the Chinese Mainland since 1980. Included in this survey are 246 articles published in six leading translation and/or language studies journals and two recently published monographs on translation teaching. It is found that research on translation teaching has been gaining momentum in recent years, with the last 20 years witnessing a significant increase in the number of articles and monographs published on this topic. Most studied are topics such as theoretical considerations on translation teaching, material development, teaching method, interpretation pedagogy, translation error analysis, translation testing and quality assessment, and translator training outside the Chinese Mainland. While these studies have established a firm foundation for research on translation teaching, much is yet to be desired. Recommendations are then made to strengthen future research on translation teaching.
