This paper attempts to present an integrated model of teaching news translation to undergraduate students. The model, which tries to integrate two apparently disparate pedagogical approaches to translation teaching, builds on two closely affiliated translation theories that help regulate the work of both teachers and learners: norm theory and skopos theory. Based on recent research work on the pedagogical aspect of translation, and actual experimentation on students' practical work, it attempts to present an integrated framework and its theoretical basis, and to ultimately explain the rationale behind this framework.
