investigates the strategies commonly used for dealing with the translation of FW terminology between English and Vietnamese The main theoretical background of the study includes the concepts of the methods and procedures of translation; as well as the features of Footwear terminology Firstly, many FW terms are collected from authentic materials and classified according to structural patterns Then, the research paper focuses on working out strategies, procedures that can be best applied to the translation of terms at wordlevel and above-word-level Lastly, the conclusion clarifies the research question and some suggestions for further study are given Hopefully, the research may make a contribution to translation of footwear terms and share a little bit experience in translation iii
