Description

1.INTRODUCTION Technical translation is a type of specialized translation usually taught at master's degree levels in translator-training institutions. In this paper we shall refer to technical translation as "written mediation" from the perspective of foreign language teaching in higher technical education. Consequently, the purpose of written mediation is to facilitate students' comprehension of technical texts, students' acquisition of specialized vocabulary in their field of study (e.g. mechanics, civil engineering, automation and computing, electronics, etc.), and students' ability to establish correct equivalences between foreign language and mother tongue terms.
