Abstract

The establishment of the European Higher Education Area brings along the need not to focus the teaching/learning processes merely upon the teacher's lectures but to allow the student to manage his own learning process. Taking this fact as a basic premise, this study puts forward a didactic proposal for French-Spanish legal translation in which task-based work and encouragement of the learner autonomy play an essential role. The proposal tries to fit together the different aspects of legal translation using a global and task-based approach.
