Abstract

The traditional test for translation course is mainly based on the subjective test, being composed of text translations. However the contemporary teaching syllabus and the content of the translation course cover wide range of theories and techniques in translation apart from the text translations. Therefore the subjective test based on the text translations is not adequate in measuring the achievement of teaching aim and the students’ command of the course content. Meanwhile the labor cost and the personal factors from the examinees involved in the evaluation process also call for the multiplied test genres for translation. The paper tends to explore the feasibilities in objective testing for translation course and its feedbacks.
