A Study on the Teaching Methods for University Translation Courses Based on Schema Theory

Jing Mao

Abstract


For a long time, the use of schema theory in teaching has been concentrated on reading class, with little connection with translation teaching. Based on the current problems in the teaching of university translation courses, this paper discusses teaching methods to improve the effectiveness of university translation courses based on the nature of schema theory and the characteristics of the translation process, in order to provide teachers with new teaching ideas and feasible paths, offering a scientific and directional approach to the teaching of translation courses. This paper mainly adopts the method of literature review with a comprehensive analysis of the association between schema theory and the features of translation teaching. Based on the discussion and analysis, this study proposes a "five-step teaching method": teachers should intentionally teach the knowledge of schema theory; help students build a good language foundation and continuously accumulate and enrich language schema; focus on cultivating students' thinking quality and constructing source language schema and translation language schema respectively; strengthen students understanding of structural schema with emphasis on logical and stylistic exercises; Activate students' existing schema and help to build and enrich them.
