SYSTEMATIZATION OF COMPETENCES IN LANGUAGE B TEACHING FOR TRANSLATION STUDIES IN THE EHEA FROM A TRANSLATION COMPETENCE MODEL

The objective of this article is to offer a competence model for Language B teaching in Translation and Interpreting degrees within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). To date, foreign language modules have not received due attention in the field of research and the guidelines offered thus far in official documents have been very vague and general, not taking into account the training and professional needs of the students. With the aim of reverting this situation, it is necessary to establish a competence-based model in accordance with translation practice. For this purpose, in this work we will take as a reference the Translation Competence Model proposed by PACTE group. The systematization of competences proposed in this paper is expected to shed light on a fundamental subdiscipline in translation pedagogy and provide lecturers with a sound foundation regarding the nature of Language B subjects in Translation and Interpreting degrees.
