Abstract

This study aims to discover the problems that face Libyan university

students when translating Libyan proverbs into English. It also focuses on

the techniques applied by the students in the translation process. To

achieve the goals, the researchers asked the study participants to

translate about ten Libyan proverbs into Arabic. The sample of this study

consisted of twelve second year students specialized in translation from

the English department in the Assabha Faculty of Arts. The results

showed that some students faced problems in transferring the meaning of

Libyan proverbs into the target language (English). This could be

attributed to the different culture between both languages (i.e. Arabic and

English) The results also revealed that the participants used literal

translation method as their primary strategy. Translation tutors and

curriculum designers need to focus on the effective strategies to achieve

the correct translation of Libyan proverbs into English

Pronunciation plays a very important role in both teaching and learning processes in our social lives. Many students desire to speak the language perfectly and properly. When one wants to learn a language his first attempt to prove its knowledge is by speaking. When we study a language we are dealing with different sounds, utterances as well as other characteristics of forming speech, one of which is used to put emphasis on words that we think the key ones, this feature is called stress.

This study is an attempt to investigate word stress error made by secondary school students, where stress is being taught as

complicated issue that need to be analyzed and explained to students in more details to help them pronounce the words without obstacles.
