ABSTRACT

This paper has three main purposes: first, to argue that the translation education should be introduced as a course of the liberal arts for the establishment of the sound infrastructure of translation; second, to discuss that the internet-based learning method is better than the traditional one; third and last, to show the organization of the contents of the internet-based translation education course. If a translation course is to be opened as a part of the liberal art curriculum in universities, some positive results could be achieved. It is desirable that an effective way of practising translation education involve distance education based on the internet, rather than that of the traditional face-to-face one performed at classrooms, for the special qualities of translation or translation education will harmonize with the internet-based module. From the viewpoint of software, an instructor should place a high emphasis on the different levels of student backgrounds, including other facts such as its inter-disciplinary character and its interactive dynamism of theory and practice. From the viewpoint of hardware, it is critical to make a proper balance between the content itself and technological aspect which will optimize it on the computer. In this paper, contents of the course are shown, which include the introductory level and the advanced level. Finally, some tentative ideas are proposed as a propeller to activate the internet-based translation education.
