Translation Challenges Facing University Students a Case Study: EFL Students at Ajloun National University (Published)
This study aims at identifying the main translation challenges that face EFL students as well as investigating students’ attitudes towards learning translation at Ajloun National University (ANU). The researcher used a quantitative research method. A total of 57 (male and female) (EFL) students responded to an online questionnaire consisting of 20 items. The results of this study revealed that EFL students at ANU had positive attitudes towards learning the translation course. The results also showed that a considerable number of students had difficulties translating texts from Arabic into English and vice versa. Moreover, the study recommended that the number of translation courses at universities should be increased, since one translation course is not enough to provide students with high-quality practice and knowledge to deal with translating texts correctly.
