Translation quality assessment by Newmark's model with translation learning

Abstract

Translation quality assessment (TQA) has recently become an issue that attracts concerns and attention in Vietnam. Peter Newmark even emphasizes the crucial role of translation criticism and translation learning. The author’s realistic writing style expands learners’ knowledge and understanding of their own and the foreign language and helps them sort out their good ideas about translation. This paper clarifies subjective assessment remarks on the translation “You Must Live” – by Bac Hoai Tran based on Peter Newmark’s model of translation assessment and its implications for translation learning.
