The purpose of this research is to improve students’ translation competence of English novel through several teaching methods. In the 21st century, foreign novels translated to Korean account for 70% of novel sales in the Korean publishing market, and the sales are on the increase. To meet the rapid growth, S university provides English novel translation courses to its English majors. The students learn translation theories including background knowledge and novel translation techniques to master efficient translation skills and they apply these theories to their translation practice. Movies based on English novels(Stuart Little, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) are perfect materials for translation practice. Also, through the utilization of the Daum Cafe, the students were able to study class materials at any time as well as enabling communication of class notifications and students’ suggestions. A survey was conducted with the students before the English translation course and the survey result was applied to the course curriculum. Another survey was conducted with the students during the English translation course to examine the students learning satisfaction and learning effects. Above all things, the course focuses on learners for self-directed learning. For translation practice, two students form a team to have a discussion and reduce translation errors.
