THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE THIRD-YEAR STUDENTS OF THE ENGLISH LINGUISTICS PROGRAM AT VINH UNIVERSITY TOWARDS THE TRANSLATION 1 COURSE AND SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE TEACHING OF VIETNAMESE - ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Abstract

Translation 1 is a compulsory course in the undergraduate English Language program at Vinh University. However, the quality of teaching this course is not yet up to expectations. This requires instructors to understand student feedback on this course and survey the translation errors they commonly make in order to propose optimal pedagogical solutions. This paper uses a qualitative research method through a series of survey questions to investigate student evaluations of the Translation 1 course and the Vietnamese - English translation errors. Based on the research results, we propose specific solutions to enhance the effectiveness of teaching the translation course.
