What Are We Testing When We Test Translation Students?

Shlesinger, Miriam

English Teachers' Journal (Israel), n49 p38-40 Apr 1996

Discusses problems inherent in testing translation students and emphasizes that the test of a translation student will depend primarily on the aim of the course concerned, e.g. tests of students in metalinguistic-awareness-oriented courses will focus on items attesting to metalinguistic knowledge rather than a mere competence in the languages per se.
