Abstract

In translation education and training, competence assessment plays an essential role in fostering students' competence development. This chapter promotes process-oriented assessment from a translation problem-solving perspective, with supporting evidence from a longitudinal study. Although process-oriented competence assessment is increasingly becoming more important in translation education and training, the relation between the development of translation competence and the translation process remains underexplored. This chapter provides a translation problem-solving perspective to understand the rationale for and the necessity of process-oriented competence assessment and suggests practical and feasible process-oriented assessment tools in the translation classroom.
