    • Abstract:
      This study contributes to the field of pedagogical translation studies. One of the important outcomes is to reveal how some of the Arabic pedagogical translations of Jane Austen's novels are representations and applications of scholastic methods of language teaching that are rooted in the traditional theories of pedagogical translation. This research is eventually an attempt to revisit and revise the concept of pedagogical translation within translation studies that need to be expanded to potentially include Arabic practices and products. The sparse Arabic studies criticize these literary translation practices, based on the notion of fidelity and their lack of literary value, whilst the concept of pedagogical translation, within current translation studies, is restricted to the instrumental use of translation in classes to acquire foreign language skills, and to train translators. However, through the descriptive study of nine case studies of Arabic translations, the findings illustrate the significance of this target-oriented approach that recognizes the Arabic pedagogical translations as an empirical and historical fact of the receiving language and culture. Indeed, it is manifestation of the functional approach, in translation studies, that sees translation as a tautological activity which is always commissioned to fulfil specific purpose.
