This paper reflects on the teaching of a course in computer-aided translation at Beihang University for the past five years. Integrating theory and practice, the course has as its components a historical review of machine translation and computer-aided translation; a discussion on the principles of computer-aided translation research and development; an introduction to translation aids of various types, including corpus and computer-aided translation, terminology and terrnbank, alignment and translation memory. By sharing the design of this course with colleagues in the field, the author wishes that more translation programs would consider adding it to their curricula and their teaching practices would lead to further improvement on its design.
