An integrated approach to develop media translation among faculty of specific education, media department students

Abstract EN

Different approaches to translate political news are covered in methodology research moving from translation at the text level to translation at macro or discourse level (text in context).

Translation as communicative approach can be reflected in critical discourse analysis (CDA) which reveals hidden ideologies in the text.

The researcher suggested Fairclough‘s model, affiliated to CDA, to translate political news in order to reveal the hidden arguments and elements of power in the news at discourse level.

Toulmin‘s model is also integrated with Fairclough‘s model to reveal elements of argument in the news at text level.

This quasi-experimental design was conducted on 20 students of Media at the Faculty of Specific Education to be trained on revealing the elements of power in the source text and how the author used certain linguistic elements that revealed his ideology.

This integrated approach (Fairclough and Toulmin) was also used to translate media texts.

The post test results of this quasi-experimental study showed the efficiency of the integrated approach to shift the students‘ translation from literal based form to argument based form in the target language context.
