“…critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and communicative competence. This result is in line with the finding of Li (2018) stating that PBL offers good exposure for students to enhance soft-skills such as responsibility and critical thinking. In addition, it also confirms the result of Hurtado Albir (2019) that revealed several positive characters built within the proses of PBL design such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills.…”

This study aims to shed some light on the use of Project Based Learning (PBL) in teaching translation at an Islamic university. Involving 35 students of English department, a Classroom Action Research (CAR) in two cycles and semi-structured interview were adopted to examine the effectiveness of PBL and to explore the students’ perspectives toward strengths and weaknesses of the method. The results revealed that PBL was proven effective to enhance students’ translation performances (p-Value 0.000 < 0.05). The results further demonstrated that PBL was an effective method to develop students’ soft-skills such as communicative competence, critical thinking, problem solving ability, and creativity. However, the students also pointed out that doing translation project using PBL method required sufficient time allocation since it based on contexts and experiences as in real working environments. The results contribute to providing fruitful insights for teachers and college authorities to incorporate PBL as an alternative method for teaching translation. Last but not least, it is a worth saying that project based learning is a promising method for teaching translation at university level.

“…In the process of translation, the translator needs to maintain the language style and expression mode of the original text, but due to the differences in the cultural background, some culture-specific expression methods may be difficult to be understood by the readers of the target language. This may lead to problems such as stiff language and unnatural expression in the translation, which will affect the fluency of the translation [6] .…”

This study used a corpus-based method to evaluate the quality of Chinese-English translation. By establishing Chinese and English parallel corpus, the semantic, grammar and pragmatic aspects of Chinese original and English translation are analyzed to evaluate the translation quality. The study found that there are some problems of semantic inaccuracy, grammar errors and improper pragmatic in Chinese and English translation. In order to improve the quality of translation, it is suggested that translators should have a solid language foundation and professional knowledge, and pay attention to translation practice and experience accumulation. This study provides new ideas and methods for the evaluation of Sino-British translation quality, and helps to promote the in-depth development of Sino-British translation research.

“…At present, translation is not only the transfer of language but also as communicative learning, in which translation is a means to increase knowledge. Hence, mastering skills in translation is the goal of teaching translation (Li, 2018). Also, Popescu (2013) asserted that by comprehending translation skills, it also means mastering language skills, social, pragmatics, and cultural contexts.…”

Communication's purpose is delivered when the intention of the speaker or writer is accepted and understood by the readers and listeners. People have their way of delivering ideas explicitly or implicitly in the communication process. Therefore, comprehending techniques of translation becomes influential in building meaningful connections and enhance students' competence in the translation. However, students believe that translation is tiring and boring, which makes the students' ability in translation low. The research aims are to analyze translation techniques in Disney's Aladdin (2019) focused on the use of expressive utterances and how to implement the techniques in teaching translation. Through a descriptive qualitative method, the writers analyzed the data by selecting, identifying, classifying, describing the data, and from the results, draw conclusions. The data were analyzed by using Searle's (1969) speech act theory. The results showed that there are seven kinds of expressive utterances translation techniques used in Disney's Aladdin (2019), such as linguistics compression, established equivalence, literal translation, reduction, amplification, modulation, and calque. Implementing translation techniques in teaching translation can increase sensitivity into language, gain more extensive insights about cultures, and enable in producing better translation quality. Furthermore, teaching translation techniques becomes significant in developing students' critical thinking to present ideas into target language appropriately. This research will give information concerning the use of translation techniques and how to apply them in translation teaching. Further research can replace the media for translation techniques learning.
