Description
Summary:This paper investigated the actual situation of learning and teaching sight translation in the fourth-year curriculum of Translator and Interpreter Training Division, Faculty of English Teacher Education, University of Languages and International Studies. The study was conducted to withdraw the pedagogical methods of exploiting sight translation in training interpreters/translators. To achieve this aim, the data were collected by questionnaires and interviews. Through data collection and analysis, the research showed the obstacles to an effective teaching of sight translation. Overall, sight translation has not been paid proper attentions in training interpreters/translators. This could be explained by tight curriculums and students’ poor language skills to learn sight translation. Therefore, the paper emphasized on the reforms for a better teaching of sight translation. However, the study remained some limitations, which shed light on the further studies. Finally, some pedagogical recommendations for further exploitation of sight translation were offered in the given context.
