Communicative language teaching, Translation, Pedagogy.

This paper studies the practical usage of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) in translation pedagogy, examining how communicative approaches can enhance translation teaching and learning. CLT emphasizes real communication and student-centered learning, enhancing the development of linguistic competence alongside practical skills. In translation pedagogy, CLT shifts the focus from traditional teacher-centered methods to more interactive, task-based activities that mirror real-life translation scenarios. The theoretical foundations of CLT, its relevance to translation studies, and the role of communicative tasks in fostering both language proficiency and translation competence were discussed in this paper. By integrating CLT into translation courses, teachers can better prepare students to meet the demands of professional translation, encouraging active participation, critical thinking, and the effective use of language in diverse contexts.
