Teaching commercial translation (English-Spanish): A teaching proposal

Reconciling professional International Trade Law with translation teaching is the first aim that we pursue in this paper. Our ultimate objective is to create a working space appropriate for teaching translation for commercial purposes. Thus, we believe that future translation graduates will be able to translate successfully since they will develop skills that will make them more appealing to employers in this area. Under this assumption, we present a methodological proposal focused on the preparatory stage which, in our opinion, favors understanding, translation training as well as thematic immersion. On the whole, we aim to develop full translation competence among translation trainees enabling them to translate professionally for commercial purposes.
