Authors : Amine Belmekki .

Abstract

The growth and development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has led to a wide diffusion and application in language learning and teaching. As pedagogy of translation is still quite neglected, the present article is mainly concerned with the application of audio-visual teaching methodology that is common to translation subjects and pursues the objectives of certain skills or competencies that learners should acquire in order to translate in a professional manner. It tries to shed some light on theoretical reflections about how technology-based knowledge of audio-visual aids may enhance the translation process, considering that the use of ICTs may assist teachers to overcome time and space barriers. Therefore, this paper attempts to design new methods and instruments of teaching translation in relation to technology, preserving at the same time a personalized approach.
