EXPLORING THE LINK BETWEEN TRANSLATION COMPETENCE AND HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS IN NOVICE TRANSLATORS

Аннотация

This study investigates the relationship between translation competence and higher-order thinking skills in novice translators. Translation competence refers to the ability to effectively and accurately translate texts from one language to another, while higher-order thinking skills encompass critical thinking, problem-solving, and creative thinking abilities. The research employs a quantitative approach, analyzing the performance of novice translators on translation tasks and their demonstrated higher-order thinking skills. The findings shed light on the extent to which translation competence correlates with the application of higher-order thinking skills in the translation process. The implications of the study emphasize the importance of developing both translation competence and higher-order thinking skills in translator training programs.
