Summary/Abstract: According to Sonia Colina (2003) foreign language teachers have difficulties in determining a didactic approach to teaching translation in foreign language education (FLE). In search of a solution, we will examine to what extent the didactic insights in Translation Studies on intercultural communicative competence (ICC) are compatible with those for the enhancement of the same competence in FLE. In this article we present some findings of a pilot study in which an integrated didactical model was tested on its implementability in the framework of translation classes for Dutch Foreign Language Teaching.
