The INTEGRATING TRANSLATION INTO FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING: ENHANCING LEARNING THROUGH STUDENT INVOLVEMENT IN RESEARCH

Abstract

This study explores the impact of student involvement in translation research as a strategy for enhancing translation education. Findings indicate that participation in research projects significantly improves students’ understanding of translation concepts, linguistic research methods, and professional skills such as problem-solving and data analysis. Additionally, students develop a deeper awareness of the role of readability in translation, particularly in influencing tourist decision-making in the hospitality industry. The study highlights both the benefits and challenges of research-based learning, emphasizing the need for proper methodological training to maximize student engagement. The results suggest that integrating research into translation curricula enhances academic learning while preparing students for real-world translation practices. The study concludes with recommendations for incorporating research-based approaches in translation education to bridge the gap between theory and industry demands.
