“…Culture, history, geography, economy, politics should be thoroughly scrutinized while getting the degree at university. Integrated approach combining task-based approaches with approaches that are based on critical discourse analyses, problem-solving and decision making formats help to foster extralinguistic competence (Huertas Barros & Buendía Castro, 2017). https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2020.11.03.22 Corresponding Author: Anna B.

“…However, it is worth mentioning some contributions which are partially devoted to phraseology and translation quality assessment, such as the works by Lee-Jahnke (2001, pp. 266-267), Heltai (2004, p. 61ff), Peña Pollastri (2009, Mossop (2011, p. 138), Sardelli (2014, House (2015, p. 81, 130ff) and Huertas Barros and Buendía Castro (2017). Moreover, Mossop stated unequivocally that phraseology is "perhaps the main reason why revisers (even more than translators) should be native speakers of the target language" (2001, p. 109).…”

Phraseology as indicator for translation quality assessment of museum texts: A corpus-based analysis

Phraseological competence, although traditionally left somewhat in the background in research on translation quality assessment, refers to a high level of knowledge of a language, and is therefore worthy of greater attention. Some studies, which are exceptions to this neglect, suggest that the level of phraseological quality of a text is directly related to its overall quality. This paper assesses these 2 types of quality in 14 original and translated texts from a parallel electronic corpus from museums and art centers in the city of New York, the aim being to test whether there is a correlation between phraseological and overall quality. In absolute terms, the results of the phraseological assessment are usually seen to be better than those from the overall assessment. On comparing the two analyses, and despite generally negative results and a few notable exceptions, there is a tendency toward this correlation.

Assessment underpins all forms of translator training and is an essential element of any teaching and learning process. By looking at university assessment practices, we can gain an insight into current understandings about the nature of translation practice and what issues are foregrounded in translator education. This paper presents the findings of the second stage of our research into assessment practices on core translation modules of MA Translation courses offered in the UK, and follows on from a preliminary case study conducted at the University of Westminster in 2015 and 2016 with MA Translation tutors and students (n=16; n=53). The research presented in this paper was carried out via documentary research into all universities offering MA Translation courses (n=27) and via a survey which asked a representative of each UK university to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed by 55% of universities (n=15). The areas explored include universities' learning outcomes, assessment instruments and criteria. In the light of the data gathered, our study aims to discover if and to what extent current assessment practices on the core translation modules reflect the competence-based understandings of the translation process and have adopted new forms of assessment.
