Type of Event: Professional Training
Date: 2008-07-07
Venue: University Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain (http://www.url.edu)

Event theme(s): Organised by the Department of Foreign Languages of the University Ramon Llull, and the Faculty of Translation of the University of Vic. An intensive certificate course designed for translation and foreign language teachers who are seeking to enhance their course development and delivery skills in the field of translation; graduates of translation and interpretation, and of languages and teaching, considering a career in teaching; administrators exploring the possibility of starting a new translation program; experienced professional translators wishing to teach.

Description: This compact course is being offered to meet the needs of university-level translation skills instructors who are interested in cooperative and collaborative models of learning and teaching and who
wish to acquire a more solid foundation in innovative pedagogical and didactic theory and skills.
The program will offer both intensive instruction and a forum for constructive dialogue, and the curriculum reflects a thorough blend of theory and practice. Along with a survey of pedagogical principles, the participants will be provided with numerous opportunities to collaboratively develop curricula, syllabi, lesson plans and tests that can be used in actual translation courses.

Course participants will be part of a small student group enhancing the learning environment. There is a maximum of 25 places available.

This year, for the first time, the course will also constitute the first module of our new online MA programme in Translation Teaching.
