dc.description.abstractWhile the integration of translation technology modules into postgraduate translation programs has increased in recent years, this general trend is not commonly witnessed at the undergraduate level. There are still unresolved questions regarding the types of tools and resources, teaching, learning and assessment activities, the roles and qualifications of teachers, and how these translation technologies should be integrated into the undergraduate curriculum. To answer the above questions, an exploration of these practical issues was carried out from the perspectives of the module teachers and through the analyses of module documents. A multiple case study design consisting of six cases was used; each case specifically looked into translation technology modules offered by universities in East Asia, West Europe, and North America. The instruments used in the study comprised a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The interview data and the documentary sources were intended to provide contextual information about the cases. When the description of each case was complete, cross-case analysis of the six cases was conducted to compare various aspects of the modules. Finally, the results were triangulated by data verification from various sources in the study. The findings indicated that in a third of the cases the levels of program technological competences were not appropriate for students’ needs. This was also evident in the number, level and distribution of technological competences observed.en_US
