“…Corpora tools like other computer-assisted translation tools have increased productivity, consistency and quality in translation (Doherty, 2016). This finding, however, is in conflict with a recent study that was conducted in the Russian-French context (Usmanova et al, 2021), which concluded that novice translators' overreliance on some CAT tools may negatively affect the quality of their translation.…”

This manuscript investigates to what extent the use of corpora could help translation trainees while translating from Arabic into English and vice versa. Forty Yemeni trainees, who were enrolled in an advanced course in Arabic-English translation during the academic year 2020, participated in the study. They participated in translation projects from which the data for this study was collected, using thinking aloud protocols and computational observation. The translation process was investigated using the translation process software Transalog, an eye-tracking software and the screen recording software Screen-O-Matic. This kind of computational observation enabled a researcher to discover the extent to which the participants were able to employ corpora in their translation projects. At the end of the study, the participants were given a questionnaire with the aim of finding out their perceptions toward the use of corpora in their translation projects, and toward the project-based training approach adopted in the study. The findings of the translation process indicated that the trainees employed various kinds of corpora in their translation projects. Results from the questionnaire showed that the trainees have very positive attitudes toward the progress in their instrumental translation sub-competence, the utilization of corpora tools, and the project-based training approach adopted in this study.

“…The research topicality is determined by the problem of lack of qualified specialists who have a high level of foreign language proficiency and the ability to carry out effective professional foreign language communication. These requirements are the key to the success of the modern specialist in the field of translation, as well as a prerequisite for the dynamic development of the domestic educational field (Usmanova et al, 2021).…”

The research topicality is determined by the problem of lack of qualified specialists who have a high level of foreign language proficiency and the ability to carry out effective professional foreign language communication. The study involved the following methods: Rokich’s Value Orientations Test, Nemov’s methods for diagnosing the expectation of success level, the Self-Efficacy Scale (R. Schwarzer, M. Jerusalem); testing on the material taught on the Theory and Practice of English Translation, chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Simulation of real conditions and situations of translation activity is used in almost every lesson (80%), promoting the development of future translators’ professional competencies. The final control in the experimental group found that all students had a high (48.10%) or medium (51.30%) level of foreign language proficiency, which confirms the effectiveness of the simulation method. In the experimental group, the percentage of students with a low level of foreign language proficiency at the end of the research decreased from 26.3% to 0.6%, and the percentage of students with a high level of foreign language proficiency almost tripled. At the same time, in the control group the number of students with a low level of foreign language proficiency decreased from 25% to 10%, while the percentage of students with a high level of foreign language proficiency increased by only 1.6 times. Therefore, the hypothesis of this scientific research was experimentally confirmed. Simulation training promotes the development of foreign language competencies of students majoring in Translation.
