Abstract
Inspired by the EMT (European Master’s in Translation) network quality assurance criteria, and by the growing importance of translation quality assurance in the world of translation services providers, this paper aims in the first place at linking these two developments to the use of recently designed and successfully implemented formats of hybrid learning environments in university curricula. Secondly, this paper proposes to adopt an item-based evaluation method when it comes to evaluating translations for the purpose of pursuing evaluator-independent equality and objectivity in such activities as marking entrance exams at international institutions. At the same time, the commonly used analytical evaluation method is revisited so that it can be implemented in a quality assurance tool with the purpose of offering an exhaustive and identical feedback to all candidates and students. This revisited analytical method is designed to provide a feedback instrument complementing the hybrid learning format and the item-based evaluation method.
