Translation of News Report and the Skopos theory---开题报告

Many have been devoted to the analysis of either the ballad or the movie. However, only a few are focused on the comparative study of the two versions. Later, I will discuss their arguments in two categories. But first I shall provide some background.

With the rapid spread of news in the world, the news translation inevitably plays an important role in human life. This paper aims at discussing the Skopos theory widely used in the news translation, which widens people’s traditional eye scope on translation methods and brings the debate on translation standards to a high level.

With the rapid development of modern science and technology, news which serves  as one of the most important mass communications, is getting more and more  closely related to human life. Every day we watch TV and we can see all kinds of news on it. So the news translation inevitably plays an important role in information communications.

Teacher Talk (TT for short) refers to the speeches that the teacher uses to speak to students when the teacher undertakes the task in the foreign language teaching. TT can be primarily divided into two types: content language (CL for short) and medium language (ML for short). CL refers to the language of teaching tasks as prescribed in textbooks. ML consists of explanatory medium language (EML) and coordinative medium language (CML) EML refers to the language the teacher uses to perform such teaching tasks as paragraphing words or sentences or illustrating grammar rules. CML refers to speeches used by the teacher for greeting, comments, task switching, discipline regulation, etc. What merits my attention in this paper is ML.

TT as the essential medium in language teaching is firstly studied in the field of Teaching Methodology. Different teaching approaches can bring about different styles of TT; and different TT applies different teaching approaches to teaching activities. However, limiting the analysis of TT in the field of Teaching Methodology may narrow the research space of TT and can be fairly disadvantageous in language teaching. This paper adopts an opening view – the perspective of discourse analysis to analyze linguistic forms and their functions as well as effects on learners’ learning, and it firstly sums up several communicative features of TT. Then introduces the researches closely related to the study of TT, and enquires the TT strategies basing on the analysis of the middle schools’ English teaching. Finally, tries to offer further refection on TT.
