A Study on Application of Translation to Undergraduate Language Education

People who study languages have great interests in translation. As translation greatly motivates language learning activities, it may cause much higher motivation than other language learning activities in which departure languages are changed to target languages. In addition, the goal of today's foreign language learning is changing toward practical uses and demands from students who study foreign languages are changing accordingly. Therefore, actual translation practices can be applied to foreign language education through the application of professional translation teaching methods. By doing so, the demands from both students and society can be met simultaneously through practical education. Traditionally, translation has been applied to Arabic education. But this study especially examined what effects educational translation based on translation theories have on the improvement of language abilities, why translation should be taught, what translations should be taught, and how translation should be taught. Educational translation always offers translation situations that are obvious and stereotyped. On the contrary, professional translation offers a variety of situations directly linked to the real world. Here, our task is to find ways to apply the advantages and variety of professional translation to the translation education environment and to develop approaches to Arabic education that can serve as a bridge connecting the two approaches of educational and professional translation.
