Abstract

Translation teaching becomes more important in college translation teaching classroom. Peer feedbacks and teacher feedbacks have been widely accepted in the second language writing classroom, while their influence on translation teaching is yet in exploration. In this paper, 30 college students from elective class of college Electrical English translation are under research according to peer feedbacks and teacher feedbacks. What to mention is that Faigley and Witte's (1981) taxonomy of revisions is applied innovatively to college students' revision to their translation. Then, their revisions are classified according to taxonomy of revisions. Finally, their 3 drafts of translation are scored by another teacher teaching translation. According to statistics, there are more teacher feedbacks than peer feedbacks and their translations are better improved through multiple drafts. And by conclusion, teacher feedbacks and peer feedbacks are both beneficial to translation revision. As a result, teachers can use teacher feedbacks, peer feedbacks and multiple drafts process in their class to make better translation revisions and enhance their cooperative awareness in translation process.
