Investigating Writing Competence In Arabic-to- English Translation :an Error Analysis Of Third-year Translation Students’ Texts



Authors : Messaour Samah . Bouhidel Houda .

Abstract

Language and translation have always been indispensable to worldwide communication; this fact highlights the importance of equipping translation students with the required competences to ensure accurate text translation. This study addresses the notion of Translation Competence from a foreign language teaching perspective in particular competence in writing in English language being an essential prerequisite in translating texts from Arabic into English. Using an Error Analysis Approach, the study maintains that defects in the students’ linguistic, discourse and sociolinguistic sub-competences in the EFL writing will result in different types of errors which will impact the quality of the translated text. Findings suggest that those language related sub-competences be given priority in the training of future translators.
