Abstract

This study suggests using know-how presentation in translation classes and examines its effectiveness in developing English linguistics majors’ translation skills. An experimental research was done in which the control group was taught with common steps o f a translation lesson while the experimental group was taught with integrated know-how presentation. A pretest and a posttest were administered to both groups before and after the experimental program to measure the efficacy o f know-how presentation in translation classes. A questionnaire and interviews were conducted to the experimental group to investigate students ’ reaction to the program. The obtained results revealed that know-how presentation did help English linguistics majors develop their translation skills.
