  • Language learning for translators, like any other learning process, can only be discussed meaningfully in context. The general context of the proposal presented in this chapter is language learning as a part of an undergraduate degree designed to train professional translators. The main difficulty in designing this kind of syllabus is to combine very specific learning objectives at each level within a meaningful, communicative, discourse approach. This paper proposes a three-stage process to design a syllabus for different learning situations: 1) A translation-based pre-syllabus; 2) A translation-oriented, discourse-based pre-syllabus; 3) A genre and task-based syllabus integrating stages one and two.
