Abstract
This paper presents some methodological aspects that can be used to describe the teaching and learning process of technical translation at initiation level in higher education starting from the modular approach that we have outlined in previous research. The approach is derived from the pedagogical principles of the competence-based approach that conceives the teaching and learning process in terms of competence-based training. The approach adopted could, in our opinion, target the following aspects: defining training objectives, structuring curricular content, describing pedagogical strategy and elaborating teaching resources. The proposed methodological model also relies on the experience of teaching French to engineering students and general and technical translation from French to Romanian in academic field, as well as on observing professional practices.
Keywords: Technical translation teaching and learning; technical translators training; initiation level; modular approach;
competence-based approach.
