Corpora for Student-Centered Translator Education: A Literature Review

The present study offers an overview of the literature on applying corpora to translator education. In particular, this paper attempts to review the literature based on the perspectives of laying the foundation for student-centered translator education. The recent discourse in translator education centers around the shift from the previous transmissionist approach where we are dependent on the instructor’s personal knowledge, experience, know-how and intuition to the present student-centered approach where students assume a more active role and engage in learning through discovery. And it has been suggested that corpora offer a bright future in order to enable students to search and test their translation hypotheses whenever they encounter translation problems and absorb the information offered by the corpora. For this, this paper elaborates on the benefits of applying corpora to the classroom. The author hopes that the present study contributes to some extent to the ongoing discussion on how to apply corpora to undergraduate translator education in Korea.
