The Importance of Linguistic Knowledge to Translators-to-be: The Lebanese Higher Education Context
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Sciences and Education - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
This study reveals whether translators-to-be need to take courses of linguistic nature while pursuing their bachelor degree according to Lebanese higher education context. Following the descriptive qualitative and quantitative approach, I reviewed the courses that translators-to-be take at the public university, The Lebanese University, and at two private universities, namely The Lebanese International University, LIU, and The American University of Science and Technology, AUST to reveal the current academic linguistic requirements. Besides, the perspective of translators-to-be as well as sworn translators towards linguistic courses is explored through a questionnaire filled anonymously. It was found that despite the difficulty translators-to-be have faced with this new realm, around 73% find linguistic courses insightful and very helpful in translation. However, their responses fluctuated between the importance of one field in linguistics rather than another.
