The impact of collaborative learning strategy on novice translators' performance in written translation : a case study

Abstract EN

This study aims at investigating the impact of collaborative learning strategy ( CLS) in translating written texts from English into Arabic and vice versa, and to what extent this strategy is crucial on novice translators' performance in rendering texts perfectly.

there are certain steps that influence the students in classroom and enhance their performance positively in the learning process.

therefore, the results of analyzing students' performance prove that CLS has significant effect on both learning and teaching translation because the student faces translational difficulties as s/he translates individually.

thirty students of the third year/ department of translation / college of arts/ university of Tikrit ( 2017-2018) have been selected as samples for this study and a (20) closed- ended items questionnaire has been distributed to the them after they have taken two tests (pre-test, individually and a post-test collaboratively each six students in one group) to see into what extent this strategy effects their performance in translating two journalistic texts from English into Arabic and vice versa.
