Event theme(s):
This conference seeks to bring together academics and professionals
interested in questions and issues such as:
§ Who teaches translation / who ‘should’ teach translation?
§ Who is taught / needs to be taught?
§ Do we teach or train?
§ Where do we teach / who is the appropriate education provider?
§ Curriculum design and innovative developments
§ Examples of good practice
§ Ethics
Description:
The growth of translation has affected the sector on all levels not
least the expansion in programmes teaching translation at university
level. Initiatives such as the development of the European Masters in
Translation, the National Occupational Standards in Translation and the
ITI’s continuing professional development programme reflect the
importance of a coherent curriculum and agreed standards and practices
in the teaching and training of translators. This is of equal importance
for Translation Studies as a discipline and the Translation industry as
a profession. But what are the challenges we face, not only in
innovative course design, but also in the profile of those who deliver
academic rigour and satisfy industry requirements?
