The Feasibility of Parallel Corpus Applied in College Translation Teaching

Yushan ZHAO, Juan SHI, Haiyan LI

Abstract


In the field of language teaching and learning, corpus has great potentials as a kind of advanced teaching and learning resource tool. In China corpus-aided translation teaching bears less fruit and there are few empirical studies of Chinese-English translation based on corpus. This paper introduces corpora, concordance, corpus-based translation teaching, and then explains the application as well as the advantages of corpora in translation teaching.
