ABSTRACT
The cultivation of the basic translation competence plays a significant role in the cultivation of language skills of English majors. However, the teaching problems still exist, for example, students’ poor translation competence and low teaching efficiency. The thesis does researches on translation competence which consists of several sub-competences, such as linguistic competence, cultural competence, cognitive competence and internal motive force. In the paper the cultivation of translation competence is explored at different levels, and corresponding elements of translation pedagogy are figured out, by which problems of the fundamental translation competence are revealed: too much emphasis on macroscopic and theoretical teaching. For this, the principal role of the students, the translation practice and the basic knowledge it needs are ignored. According to this, some achievable solutions about the teaching organization model are put forward, for instance, interactive teaching, knowledge-oriented teaching and task-based teaching.
Key Words: basic translation competence; teaching problems; translation practice; solutions
