important subject and basic foundation for student’s learning and work in the future However, success in translating is not easy, especially for Vietnamese-English translation During the Vietnamese English translation process, the students encountered a lot of difficulties and made errors led to the translation is not completed or the translation was not accurate, …This study aims to identify and analyze the common errors of English students in Vietnamese-English translation and the causes of these errors, then making suggestions to overcome these errors in the translation process After studying, we can see that the common errors are mainly due to lack of vocabulary, grammar, differences between Vietnamese and English… In addition, the study also aims to provide suggestions as a

Language TMU: Thuong Mai University CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY 1.1 Rationale for the study Today, we cannot deny the importance of English in people’s life and social development English has become a popular language in countries all over the world, including Vietnam We use English as a second language in communication, information exchange and trade English is the most effective international communicative language In context of globalization and internationalization, English become common language which help people understand each other more in the process diplomatic relation, cultural exchange, economic cooperation and many other fields With the development of English, translation has become increasingly important and necessary We can see that translation appears in almost fields such as economy, culture, education, mass communication…It is an important key that can help Vietnam get many advantaged opportunities to develop in strongly competitive economy when we integrate into the global economy Besides, translation also plays an irreplaceable role in the process of cultural exchange among countries Many specialized books, magazines, newspapers, ect also translated into English in order to help people in the world access easily Therefore, Vietnamese-English translation is very necessary and need to be translated more exactly in order to avoid regrettable misunderstanding Recognizing the important of Vietnamese-English translation, translation becomes a compulsory subject for English-majored students in the universities However, Vietnamese-English translation is not an easy task and almost all students can’t avoid the mistakes As an English-majored student, in the learning process, I know almost all of English-majored students in Thuong Mai University make many errors when studying translation in general and VietnameseEnglish in particular I decided to conduct this study: “COMMON ERRORS IN VIETNAMESE-ENGLISH TRANSLATION MADE BY FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS AT ENGLISH FACULTY, THUONG MAI UNIVERSITY” with hope that this research is a useful reference helping to overcome these obstacles and improve Vietnamese-English translation ability 1.2 Previous study Translation from one language into another language is a complex process In the translation processing, translators can make errors so many studies have been carried out to help them recognized their common errors and make some suggestions in order to overcome these errors These studies have been written by written by experienced translators who clearly understand the issues related to translation Thus, I would like to rely on these studies as references materials for my graduation paper The first research is “English major students’ difficulties and expectation in learning written translation at Dong Thap University” which was conducted by Nguyen Thi Hong Tham and Bui Thi Huyen Tran This study identifies common errors that students often make in the process of translation The result of research shows that the factors influencing translation process are influence of the mother tongue, words and choice of word meanings, grammatical structure, context and characteristic of language The researchers found that our mother tongue has a big influence on our way of thinking, word order, pronunciation or meaning of word, sentences…, the difference between the two language makes it difficult to learn Besides, the research also shows the commons errors in written translation such as: word order, syntax/grammatical errors, vocabulary errors, spelling/punctuation errors, culture errors The second research is “Common mistakes in learning translation subject by the second-year English major at Dong Thap University” was conducted by Duong Thi Thuy Hang and Nguyen Thi Cam Xuyen The research found out that the students have errors on grammar, word choice and so on in translating Vietnamese texts into English The study also reveals that lack of vocabulary causes many problems in translation process, frequently, students could not choose the right word in the context or use the right term The researchers suggested some solutions that the students must enlarge vocabulary, usually read newspapers, magazine, article or news, referent document or translation in the internet, these supply much knowledge about vocabulary, grammar and way of translation The third research was conducted by Le Thuc Hien, RMIt University, entitled: “Difficulties in studying translation of International Relation majored students” The researchers identified and analyzed the difficulties encountered by International Relation majored students, they are linguistic error, comprehensive error and translation error The difficulties in translation committed by the students such as specialized terms make up 40%, difference in linguistic structure makes up 30%, long sentences make up 20% and cultural factors make up 10% Then the researchers gave the reasons why students have such difficulties and suggested some solutions to help students overcome these problems All three studies above have studied on translation and errors translation However, they only focused on finding out the errors in translation in general, not particular in Vietnamese- English translation 1.3 Aims of the study The aim of study is to investigate common errors in Vietnamese-English translation made by the four-year English majored students at TMU The study also aims at finding out the causes of these problems and then making suggestions to overcome the problems In this thesis, I would like to focus on answering three main question: • What are the common errors in Vietnamese-English translation of the four-year English majored students? • What are the possible causes of these errors? • What are the suggestions to rectify these errors? 1.4 Research subject In this study, the research focuses on researching common errors in translation Vietnamese texts into English made by four-year students at English faculty, TMU 1.5 Scope of the study Translation is an indispensable subject for English-majored students They have to study both English-Vietnamese translation and Vietnamese-English translation However, because of the limitation of time and space, this thesis just focuses on analyzing the common errors in Vietnamese-English translation of the fourth year students at English faculty, TMU and making some suggestions to help overcome these errors 1.6 Research methodology For the purpose of making an investigation to analyze the common errors in Vietnamese-English translation The study will be a useful reference with solutions suggested which help students overcome these errors and find out their own effective way in learning in order to improve the translation skill While doing this thesis, I used both qualitative and quantitative research methodology First is questionnaire, it is considered as a common instrument to collect data in research It aims at finding attitude and problems of students toward writing subject, which help provides necessary information and is the basic for analyzing the study In this study, there are total 10 questions written in English 100 copies were delivered to the four-year student English majored students and all of them were collected Most of the comments, recommendations and conclusion used in the study were based on the data analysis of the study Second is translation test which was used to find out the student’s translation errors common in translating from Vietnamese into English 50 copies of translation tests which have three different passages are delivered to the four-year English majored student 1.7 Organization of the study The study consists of four main chapter as follow: Chapter 1: Overview of the study The first chapter will present overview of the study with rationale, previous study, aims of the study, research subject, scope of the study, research methodology and organization of the study Chapter 2: Literature review It provides a review of theoretical background related to literature, in which the definitions of translation, the strategy of translation, methods of translation, translation errors were presented Chapter 3: Research finding This chapter will conclude summary, data analysis and discussion of major finding Chapter4: Recommendation and suggestion This chapter will give a summary of the study and make suggestion help students overcome these problems Conclusion summarizes the main points which have been explored in the study and discuss the limitations of the study and make some suggestions for the future research CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Translation concepts 2.1.1 Translation There are many concepts of translation from many scholars with different viewpoints for many historical periods Firstly, Catford (1965) presented the definition refer to translation as the “Replacement of textual material in one language (SL) by equivalent textual material in another language (TL)” Translation is a process in the sense that is an activity, was performed by people from one language into another language Hartman and Stork (Newmark, 1995) also define that “Translation involves replacing a text in one language by an equivalent text in a second language” With the same point, Bell.R defines that “Translation is the replacement of a presentation of a text in one language by a representation of an equivalent text in a second language” Next, Wilss (1982) says that “Translation is a transfer process, which aims at the transformation of written source language text into an optimally equivalent target language text, and which requires the syntactic, the sematic and the pragmatic understanding and analytical processing of the source language” Besides, Koller (1995) shows the equivalence relation among languages when saying that “Translation can be understood as the result of a text-processing activity, by means of which a SL text is transposed into a TL text Between the resulting text in the TL text and SL text, there exists a relationship which can be designated as translational, or equivalence relation.” Although there are many different perspectives, all most of them indicate the significance of “equivalence” in both languages According to Peter Newmark (1982), “Translation is a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or statement in one language by the same message of textual material in one language into another language in the way that the author intended the text.”, this definition based on his theories named Culture and Context, focus on culture and context during the translation process In brief, it can be understood that “Translation is the process of changing something that is written or spoken into another language” (Advanced Oxford Dictionary) All above definitions of translation show the same idea that translation is a process of replacement or transformation a written text, message or an utterance from one language into another language, which remains equivalence in content, the purpose of communication or pragmatic 2.1.2 Strategy of translation 2.1.2.1 Strategy 1: How to deal with non-equivalence at word level • Translating by a specific word In some cases, it will be appropriate or necessary to use a more specific word to translate an English word into Vietnamese This usually involves choosing among several different words, as there are many Vietnamese words that can be correspond to the general category or meaning expresses by the English terms For example, the English word for “take” can be translated by many different Vietnamese words such as: lấy, cầm, mang đi, chịu đựng, depending on the context In this cases, an English word alone is not enough to determine for the appreciate translation, and it is necessary to examine the English context and decide which Vietnamese word is to be used • Translating by a more general word In other cases, it is appropriate to use a more general word to translate English with no specific Vietnamese equivalent Similarly, the English words “niece” and “grand daughter”, “nephew” and “grand son” may all be translated by the 10 to help English-majored students or the readers who are interested in translation subject find out the most appropriate learning methods to improve their translation skills REFERENCES Hong Tham and Bui Thi Huyen Tran, entitled “English major student’s difficulties and expectation in learning
