Event theme(s): The UK Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies (LLAS) and the English Subject Centre are pleased to announce the conference 'Texts in Translation'. Of interest to colleagues from Modern Languages and English Studies in particular, this event will focus on such themes as: the pros and cons of teaching literature in translation; using translations as a tool to open up literary study; translations of literary and cultural theory; the use of electronic texts; and modern translations of medieval texts. We hope that the day will result in the sharing of positive approaches to teaching with translations, and ideas for the development of literature curricula.

Conference

Venue: Centre for Transcultural Research
London Metropolitan University, UK
Event theme(s): 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? 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 Contributions on teaching and researching in interpreter training and education are also welcome.
