Carrying out Hurtado's evaluation method on English learners at faculty of education

Abstract EN

This paper is an attempt to guide the teachers about how the evaluation process should be and it highlights the effectiveness and suitability of adopting Hurtado's method of evaluation on English learners at the Faculty of Education at Hadhramout University, Yemen.

This method was applied to the correction of students' translations of the final exam containing different texts to be translated in both directions between English and Arabic.

The exam was done by 66 students on the undergraduate degree course of Translation (1).

The hypothesis regarding the suitability and effectiveness of using Hurtado's method and the possibility to improve the quality of the evaluating the students' translations in future based on this method has not been verified.

This study concluded that this method was found out to be too lenient to give impartial translation quality evaluation for the students' translations.
