CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY 1.1 Rationale Nowadays, English becomes a common language used widely in most countries of the world Nearly 60 countries use English as their primary language, besides their mother tongue and nearly 100 countries use English as their second language With over 1,130 million native speakers, English is the most spoken language in the world However, each country has its own culture and a unique language These countries that not use English, must know two languages simultaneously to communicate with international friends The English translation industry was born to help the people who have difficulties learning or acquiring a second language English is a language taught in a lot of universities in the world, the language of international communication, science, aviation It is used as the language of international business Recently, with the development of our society as well as other countries in the world, economic and trade sector has become one indispensable field in the economy in general, development of the countries in particular, including our Vietnam Successful economic and trade cooperation requires many factors, of which mutual understanding is the most importance Therefore, the translation of economic and trade texts plays an important role and is of the greatest concern Recognizing the importance of translation, Thuongmai University has introduced Translation into the subject The teachers teach the students how to translate English into Vietnamese and how to translate Vietnamese into English The teachers instruct students how to translate documents such as social, economic business, culture, education, foreign affairs, health care, etc and specialized texts However, most students often find that they have a lot of difficulties in translating the terminology in economic texts In this research, I will investigate the difficulties in translation of the terminology in economic texts encountered by the final-year English major students at Thuongmai University and suggest some solutions to this problem

In spite of considerable devotion of time and efforts, limited time, lack of sources, and the ability of the researcher, the study cannot avoid some shortcomings and mistakes which can be mentioned as below: Firstly, it is the small number of participants Only 80 students of English Department at Thuongmai University were selected by the researcher with her own criteria Therefore, the results obtained may not be generalized to the whole people who have translated Secondly, during the research process, the researcher conducts the questionnaire but cannot conduct other methods such as case-study, classroom observation which can make the results obtained more reliably Thirdly, in the questionnaire, the researcher did not question for the learning environment, learning tools, and there are no specific translations to see the real difficulties in translation Finally, the techniques suggested in this research are selected from different reliable but limited sources 4.4 Suggestions for further research The study only investigated the difficulties in translating terminology in economic texts of 80 students who are the final-year English majors at Thuongmai University Therefore, for further studies, the researcher suggests conducting the survey as well as interviewing more students with different background in order to gain deeper and clearer data about the problems which students experienced with translating economic terminology translation skills and causes of these problems Moreover, further researchers should also change the research method by observing students' learning through interviewing teachers to have a deeper insight into the translation difficulties and strategies 42

CONCLUSION The importance of translation in the past few decades can be denied by no one when this activity has been boosted because of rising international trade, increased migration, globalization and the expansion of the mass media and technology For those reasons, the translator plays an important role as a bilingual or multi-lingual cross-cultural transmitter of culture and ideas by attempting to transfer the text as faithfully and accurately as possible However, it is not so easy for the students of English major to master translation skills as well as to become professional translators Facing difficulties as well as making mistakes in studying translation are unavoidable Therefore, issues related to students' difficulties and their expectations are the objectives and the focuses of this thesis What the researcher attempts to in this thesis is to find out the students' difficulties and to meet their expectations in studying translation subjects in their early academic years From there give some useful suggestions and solutions to help them surmount difficulties and to improve the quality of training methods at Thuongmai University It is a strong hope that the study with all suggestions above will be a useful reference to help improve the quality of both learning and training at Thuongmai University Hopefully, the study will also be a helpful companion for all those who are interested in translation and want to be a professional translator Nevertheless, this is the first time we have had a chance to a research, getting mistakes during the study is unavoidable Due to the limited time of the research, it is so difficult for us to arrange a suitable time for interviewing questions as well as get much more information about the students' expectation Moreover, to please everyone is not really easy, some expectations collected above cannot reflect all the students’ needs It is, therefore, one of the most limitations of the study However, the researcher believes that the thesis named “Common difficulties in translation of the terminology in economic texts encountered by final-year students of English faculty, Thuongmai University” will be able to contribute its reality and helpfulness to both the students and teachers in adjusting the learning and teaching method 43
