Textbooks of “Translation of SimpleTexts” Used in the Iranian EnglishBA Translation Program: AnEvaluation Study

This study focused on evaluating the textbooks of “Translation of Simple Texts” currently used in the Iranian universities at the undergraduate English translation program. In so doing, 10 experienced translation teachers were asked to evaluate two textbooks developed and frequently used for the above-mentioned course employing the framework proposed by Shafiei (2007). Based on the findings and results of the research instrument described in terms of the frequency and percentage of the participants’ responses on the Likert scale, it was concluded that generally speaking, the degree of teacher’s disagreement on the use of the two coursebooks is more than that of agreement.
