In relation to designing translation courses, three approaches, or three organizing principles can be followed: (1) the inductive approach, (2) the deductive approach, or (3) the functional approach. Associate the approaches (1), (2) and (3) on the right column, to the propositions that characterize them on the left column.

(1) the inductive approach

(2) the deductive approach

(3) the functional approach

( ) Teaching is based on certain topics related to translation techniques

( ) Teachers decide what skills are necessary for translation and aim to develop these skills without necessarily using translation tasks.

( ) In this approach, teaching does not begin with a text but with a translation problem

( ) The process of teaching is organized by text-selection

( ) In this approach teaching is organized around particular skills to be developed

( ) Since in a text-based class only problems occurring in the given text appear, it might happen that important translation problems remain untackled.

The CORRECT sequence, from top to bottom, is:
