Translation Theory and Competence: Scientific and Practical Basis of Systematic Model of Translation Training

Since any kind of training aims at educating professionals, this research tries to merge theoretical and practical bases of translation training and remove any obstacles in different educational programs existing in the fields of Translation Studies. Translation training is not confined to language teaching, although mastering both source and target languages will make the translators more successful. The purpose of the present study is to offer a systematic and practical model of translation training in which translation trainees can move to extra-linguistic level after mastering both micro linguistics (phonetics, morphology, syntax, and semantics) and macro linguistics (pragmatics and semiotics) levels of the text. To turn into a professional translator, one should theorize both translation theory and competence. It should be taken into account that becoming a professional translator requires applying supra-institutional (educational) procedures dealt with in this study.
