BUSINESS TRANSLATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION: AIMS AND METHODOLOGY

According to Sonia Colina (2003) foreign language teachers have difficulties in determining a didactic approach to teaching translation in foreign language education (FLE). In search of a solution, we will examine to what extent the didactic insights in Translation Studies on inter-cultural communicative competence (ICC) are compatible with those for the enhancement of the same competence in FLE. In this article we present some findings of a pilot study in which an integrated didactical model was tested on its implementability in the framework of translation classes for Dutch Foreign Language Teaching.
