Translation methods are always a central issue of translation practice and translator training. However this issue has not got adequate attention from translation theorists. The article reviews some major theories relating to translation methods (Larson 1984 Newmark, 1988 etc.) and presents the findings of recent studies on the application of translation methods proposed by Newmark into English - Vietnamese translation practice. A model of translation methods for English - Vietnamese translation basing on Newmark’s model has been proposed.
