La sistematización de la práctica de la traducción

Abstract

This paper introduces a methodological approach for undergraduate students specializing in Translation Studies. Systematizing practice in translation classes becomes a teaching strategy so that students can make generalizations and abstractions which will enable them to address similar translation or writing challenges in the future. We believe the acquisition of the translation competence can be better achieved through an ongoing process of abstraction, conceptualization and systematization that will enable students to retrieve information when they translate a text. We seek to narrow the gap between theory and practice in Translation Studies.
