Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a proposed translation program in developing Prospective EFL teachers’ translation strategies and skills. Subjects in this study were fourth-year students studying at Menofia Faculty of Education, Menofia University in the academic year 2008-2009. They were randomly assigned into two groups; experimental and control. The experimental group (35 students) studied the proposed translation program whereas the control group (35 students) received translation instruction through the regular course. Two tests were developed by the researcher and used as pre-post measures. A translation Strategies Test was administered to identify the students’ use of translation strategies. A translation Skills Test was administered to measure the students’ translation skills. A proposed program was developed by the researcher to be studied by the experimental group for three months. By the end of the experiment, post-tests were administered to both groups to find out the effectiveness of the program. The results of the study showed that: (1) There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and the control group in translation strategies in the post-test in favor of the former; (2) There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and the control group in translation skills in the post-test in favor of the former. (3) There was a positive and statistically significant correlation between translation strategies and translation skills. It was concluded that training on translation strategies was effective in developing translation skills.
