The Status of Teaching Translation at Gaza Universities: Analysis and New Insights

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the current status of teaching translation at Gaza Universities. Using the Descriptive-Analytic approach the researcher examined the current teaching practices including teaching courses, text books, teaching instructors and methods, and a remedial plan aimed at improving translation-training programmes and meeting the demands of the Palestinian labour market was suggested. Integrating theory and practice into translation classrooms, the suggested plan aims at providing new insights for translation instructors who should coordinate efforts with curriculum designers to meet the translation needs, skills and competences of their students.
