Abstract

This article addresses curriculum in translation study, a Diploma-4 program established by English for Business and Professional Communication (BISPRO) Politeknik Negeri Jakarta (PNJ). It focuses on the translation competences covered in the implemented curriculum. Translation competence models by PACTE 2003 and the new-issued SKKNI Penerjemah Teks Umum (Indonesian National Framework Competency Standards) for General Text Translator will be the framework of the study to review the suitability of covered competences in the implemented curriculum. The objective is to find out the correct combination among the elements stated in SKKNI and those in PACTE translation competence models to be implemented in the curriculum. Content analysis is applied as the methods of the study. The analysis focused on the comparison of competences covered in the implemented curriculum, the SKKNI Penerjemah Teks Umum and the PACTE translation competences models. The results show that translation competencies seen from the BISPRO curricula are widely represented. Almost all the course distribution contains the competencies from the frameworks, yet there are two competencies, namely bicultural and encyclopedic knowledge, and psychomotor mechanism, are not represented. It is concluded that there are some competencies unavailable in the applied curricula. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the stakeholders revise the curriculum to the students' needs.
