Bevordering van interculturele competentie in het universitair vertaalonderwijs

Abstrakt

During the last decades the enhancement of intercultural competence of translators has become one of the main objectives in the training of translators. In Europe, a lot of interesting and diverse theoretical approaches have been developed, offering new insights into the role and importance of this competence in the training of translators. The question put forward in this article is how these insights can be applied in practice, especially in translation colleges.
In order to formulate an answer to this question, I will examine the teaching practice of a few translation teachers in order to find out how this competence is being taught in their teaching practice.
