Title: On the Shift of Focus in Teaching Translation: from Form to Content
Abstract: The so-called skills-oriented translation teaching is still widely seen in translation course books and in translation classroom teaching.In fact,this way of teaching translation only focuses on the forms of language rather than on its meaning and function.Translating is a kind of communication.Therefore, focusing on the structures of language is essentially false.This paper offers a critical account of the defects and ineffectiveness of the traditional approach to teaching translation and proposes some new approaches and suggestions.
