DIDACTIQUE DE L’ENSEIGNEMENT DES LANGUES ÉTRANGÈRES APPLIQUÉES. INTRODUCTION À LA THÉORIE ET LA PRATIQUE DE LA TRADUCTION
DIDACTICS IN APPLIED FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING. INTRODUCTION TO THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF TRANSLATION

Summary/Abstract: This study is an introduction to the theory and practice of translation inside the Applied Modern Languages Department of the Faculty of Letters of the Babeş-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca. It emphasizes the development of a practical course we teach to first year students at undergraduate level. Our aim is to argue on the didactics of this subject through the presentation of the methods we use for the course, the analysis of the mistakes made by students in their exam papers and the evaluation process throughout and at the end of the semester. We would like to focus on the difficulties identified to our learners who will become future translators by trying to identify their cause and to find solutions in order to avoid them. Starting from the idea that we cannot offer a theory of translation without having ever practiced translation, we will sustain our ideas both from our position as a translator trainer inside the department and a certified translator on the Romanian market for 14 years already.
